Treaty banning the production of fissile material for nuclear
weapons or other nuclear explosive devices
The General Assembly,
Recalling its resolutions 48/75 L of 16 December 1993, 53/77 I of 4 December
1998, 55/33 Y of 20 November 2000, 56/24 J of 29 November 2001, 57/80 of
22 November 2002, 58/57 of 8 December 2003, 59/81 of 3 December 2004, 64/29 of
2 December 2009, 65/65 of 8 December 2010, 66/44 of 2 December 2011 and 67/53
of 3 December 2012, its decisions 68/518 of 5 December 2013 and 69/516 of
2 December 2014, its resolutions 70/39 of 7 December 2015 and 71/259
of 23 December 2016, its decision 72/513 of 4 December 2017, its resolution 73/65
of 5 December 2018 and its decisions 74/509 of 12 December 2019 and 75/515 of
7 December 2020, on the subject of a treaty banning the production of fissile material
for nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices,
Mindful of the continuing importance and relevance of the Conference on
Disarmament, and recalling the past achievements of that body in successfully
negotiating non-proliferation and disarmament agreements,
Expressing concern at the years of stalemate in the Conference on Disarmament,
regretting that negotiations have not been pursued on this issue, and looking forward
to the Conference again fulfilling its mandate as the world’s single multilateral
disarmament negotiating forum,
Convinced that a non-discriminatory, multilateral and effectively verifiable
treaty banning the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons or other nuclear
explosive devices would represent a significant practical contribution to nuclear
disarmament and non-proliferation efforts,
