cdbook

The first 2002 session of the Conference on Disarmament (CD) in Geneva begins January 21, 2002 andcontinues for six weeks.

Over the last ten years, non-governmental organisations (NGO) have served an immensely important rolein an advisory or technical capacity, and in awareness building and public education roles during thenegotiations of two important disarmament treaties, the Chemical Weapons Convention and theComprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

The CD has been stuck for some years, which means that NGO attention to this body is needed more thanever. The CD is still the world's sole multilateral disarmament treaty negotiating body. Therefore it isimperative that NGOs follow and engage with their country representatives to encourage some productiveresults at this next session.

The Reaching Critical Will project will continue to place all speeches and documents on line through ourwebsite http://www.reachingcriticalwill.org and urges NGOs to pester their governments andrepresentatives in Geneva with requests and input to the process.

We have put together this small booklet as an easy information and contact detail reference. Please useand distribute it through your networks.

The Conference on Disarmament (CD) is the world's sole multilateral disarmament treaty negotiating body.

While the CD is independent of the United Nations, its secretary is appointed by the UN Secretary-General;it is required to consider recommendations from the General Assembly; and it submits reports at least annually to theUN General Assembly.

The CD has three sessions each year, the first begins in the penultimate week of January and lasts for 10weeks; the second begins in May and lasts 7 weeks and the third in July and lasts 7 weeks.

The CD hold one public plenary per week, usually on a Thursday, although can have more, if appropriate.

The chair of the Conference rotates every four working weeks following the English alphabetical list ofmembership. Decisions are made by consensus.

When the CD is ready to begin negotiating a treaty, an Ad Hoc Committee with a mandate isestablished and continues until the text is finalised. The meetings of Ad Hoc Committees are held in private. Thewhole conference must agree by consensus to the mandate given to ad hoc committees.

In 1994, four ad hoc committees met: Nuclear Test Ban, Outer Space, Negative SecurityAssurances and Transparency in Armaments. In 1995 and 1996, only one ad hoc committee met: Nuclear Test Ban. In1996, the CD completed the negotiations for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. The final negotiations were difficultand divisive issues remained to the end. Nevertheless, the treaty was opened for signature September 24, 1996. In1998 the CD agreed to a fissile cut-off negotiating mandate but has been unable to establish an ad hoc committeeneeded to carry forward talks.

No program of activity has moved forward since 1996, and this disappointing fact puts at risk the futureof the consensus-based Conference on Disarmament.

What is now the CD was first known as the Ten-NationCommittee on Disarmament, and was formed in March1960 in Geneva. The TNCD was made up of five EasternBloc countries (Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland,Romania and the Soviet Union), and five Western Bloccountries (Canada, France, Italy, UK and the USA), jointlychaired by the USA and the USSR. During this time it tried,unsuccessfully, to attain consensus on the many complexissues facing both sides on their way to generaldisarmament. TNDC's failure to reach agreement can beunderstood in the context of the strained relations betweenEast and West at the time.

The institution became known as the Eighteen NationsDisarmament Committee (ENDC), jointly chaired by theUSA and USSR. The ENDC first convened in March 1962following a resolution of the UN General Assembly in 1961,making the addition of eight "non-aligned" states. Partiesof the ENDC were: Burma, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada,Czechoslovakia, Ethiopia, France, India, Italy, Mexico,Nigeria, Poland, Romania, Sweden, United Arab Emirates,United Kingdom, United States, and Soviet Union.

An accomplishment of the ENDC was the negotiation ofthe Limited Test Ban Treaty, which banned all nuclear-weapon tests in the atmosphere, in outer space, and underwater. The US, USSR, and UK are signatories (they wroteit and are the depositories). It was negotiated in 6 weeks.

The institution became the Conference of the Committeeon Disarmament (CCD), expanding to 30 members.

The ENDC negotiated the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty(NPT) halting the spread of nuclear weapons to countriesthat do not already possess them, and preventing thediversion of nuclear material from peaceful purposes. Thenuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty became international lawin 1970. At that time there were five nuclear weaponstates: USA, UK, USSR, France and China. Since thenIndia, Israel and Pakistan have developed nuclearweapons, and, with Cuba, these remain the only countriesoutside the treaty.

The Seabed Arms Control Treaty was negotiated by theCCD, prohibiting the emplacement of nuclear weapons andother weapons of mass destruction on the seabed andocean floor beyond a 12 mile coastal zone. It entered intoforce in 1972 and multiple review conferences have upheldthe treaty. 66 states have ratified, including US, UK,USSR, and China. France has not yet ratified.

Negotiated the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention(banning the development, production and stockpiling ofbacteriological and toxin weapons). The BiologicalWeapons Convention entered into force in 1975 and hasover 125 signatories. It builds on the protocols of theGeneva conventions that banned the use of gas in war. Itis the first treaty to ban an entire category of massdestruction weapons. However, the BWC has noverification provisions. A verification protocol has beenunder negotiations since 1995. Hopes of progress duringthe 24th session (July 23 to August 17, 2001) wereeffectively dashed on the third day with the rejection of thecurrent draft Protocol - the Chair's composite text - but alsoof as weere further efforts to negotiate such an agreement.

Negotiated the Environmental Modification Convention(banning all significant hostile use of environmentalmodification techniques). This Convention on theProhibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use ofEnvironmental Modification Techniques entered into forcein 1977 and attempts to inhibit the development of newtypes of warfare.

The Conference on Disarmament was established as aresult of the first Special Session on Disarmament of theUnited Nations General Assembly held in 1978.

The Conference on Disarmament grew to 38 members.

Negotiated the Chemical Weapons Convention .TheChemical Weapons Convention was opened for signaturein 1993 and entered into force in April 1997. It has manysignatories, including the US, Russia and China. It bansthe "development, production, stockpiling and use ofchemical weapons" (earlier agreements only banned the

use). The treaty contains an extensive list ofbanned chemicals and precursors and providesfor an elaborate and intrusive verification regime.

Four ad hoc committees met on Nuclear TestBan, Outer Space, Negative SecurityAssurances and Transparency in Armaments.

Only one ad hoc committee met on the NuclearTest Ban.

The CD expanded to a membership of 61.

Negotiated the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty(banning nuclear weapons test explosions or anyother nuclear explosions). The (CTBT) wasnegotiated in Geneva by the Conference onDisarmament and was adopted by the GeneralAssembly as a resolution (A/RES/50/245) on 10September 1996 and opened for signature. TheComprehensive Test Ban Treaty has beensigned by 160 countries and ratified by 76.

The membership of the Conference onDisarmament expanded once again to amembership of 66 countries.

No program of activity has movedforward since 1996 and thisdisappointing fact puts at risk the futureof the consensus-based Conference onDisarmament. The CD has agreed to afissile cut-off negotiating mandate buthas been unable to establish an ad hoccommittee needed to carry forward talks.

The CD has a permanent agenda, also known as theDecalogue which addresses the following:

¬ Nuclear weapons in all aspects;

¬ Chemical weapons [removed from agenda in 1993 after the CD completed the Chemical Weapons Convention on 3 September 1992]

¬ Other weapons of mass destruction;

¬ Conventional weapons;

¬ Reduction of military budgets;

¬ Reduction of armed forces;

¬ Disarmament and development;

¬ Disarmament and international security

¬ Collateral measures; confidence building measures; effective verification methods in relation to appropriate disarmament measures, acceptable to all parties;

¬ Comprehensive programme of disarmament leading to general and complete disarmament under effective international control.

The terms of reference of the CD include practically allmultilateral arms control and disarmament problems.Currently the CD primarily focuses its attention on thefollowing issues:

¬ cessation of the nuclear arms race and nuclear disarmament;

¬ prevention of nuclear war, including all related matters;

¬ prevention of an arms race in outer space;

¬ effective international arrangements to assure non-nuclear-weapon States against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons;

¬ new types of weapons of mass destruction and new systems of such weapons including radiological weapons;

¬ comprehensive programme of disarmament and transparency in armaments.

In December 1993 the UN General Assembly adopted by consensus aresolution recommending the negotiation of a non-discriminatory,multilateral and internationally and effectively verifiable treaty banning theproduction of fissile material for nuclear weapons or other nuclearexplosive devices. On January 25, 1994, the CD decided to appoint aSpecial Coordinator to seek the views of members on the most appropriatearrangement to negotiate the type of fissile material cutoff treaty requestedby the UN General Assembly. In March 1995, the Conference onDisarmament established an Ad Hoc Committee to pursue thesenegotiations.

Subsequently, all the NPT Parties endorsed the immediatecommencement and early conclusion of such negotiations at the 1995NPT Review and Extension Conference. Actual negotiations on this issuehave not begun. Since this time, an FMCT AHC was re-established onlyonce - late during the 1998 CD session. The AHC was not reestablished in1999 or in 2000.

One of the items on the CD's agenda is that of Nuclear Disarmament, andmany members of the CD have openly expressed their wish that the CDundertake multilateral negotiations in this area. Nuclear weapons statesclaim that reductions in nuclear arms should be carried out directly by thestates which possess them, in view of the many complexities involved.However, the CD has failed to respond to the calls made at the 2000 NPTReview Conference to start negotiations on a fissile material treaty and toestablish a subsidiary bodies to deal on nuclear disarmament and PAROS.

Many CD members are interested inaddressing the issue of Anti-PersonnelLandmines (APL). Although the OttawaTreaty banning APL in their entirety cameinto force in 1998, the treaty was notsigned by most of the countries which aremajor APL producers and users; and theyare therefore not bound to this treaty. It ishoped that a treaty on this specific subjectas negotiated in the CD would capturemany states which have not signed theOttawa Treaty. The CD has agreed to addAPL to its working agenda for the pastseveral years, but has not agreed on amandate for work in this area. It has beensuggested that movement on this issueshould be forthcoming, as it is consideredone of the "noncontroversial issues" of theagenda, along with negative securityassurances, transparency in armaments,and reform of procedures in theConference.

In 1991 the United Nations GeneralAssembly adopted resolution 46/36-Lentitled "Transparency in Armaments"(TIA), which promoted openness andtransparency in the field of military matters.One consequence of the resolution was theestablishment of the UN Register ofConventional Arms. The resolution alsorequested the CD to take up the issue ofTIA and specifically asked the CD toaddress interrelated issues arising from theexcessive and destabilizing accumulation


of arms. No time frame was attached to the CD's work.continued page 6

The CD added TIA to its agenda in 1992, the first newagenda item in over ten years. TIA was also the CD'sfirst agenda item related to conventional arms control.Since the topic was new to the CD, member statesdecided to conduct a year of informal meetings as away of getting the CD introduced to the subject. In 1993the CD established the TIAAd Hoc Committee, whichbegan working to develop practical means forincreasing openness and transparency in militarymatters. In 1994, the CD made little progress on thisissue, and in 1995, the ad hoc committee was unable toreconvene. An experts group met in 1997 and therewas agreement to promote transparency but not toexpand the reporting requirements. The Ad HocCommittee has not been re-established in the yearssince then.

NSA is dedicated to effective internationalarrangements to assure non-nuclear-weapons states(NNWS) against the use or threat of use of nuclearweapons. The CD has been debating this issue foryears with little progress, but the completion of theCTBT negotiations and the unconditional extension ofthe Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1995caused the CD's nonaligned members (the G-21) toincrease their demands for a multilateral, legally bindingtreaty granting them such assurances. The nuclearweapons states (U.S., UK, France, Russia and China)have not favored such a treaty because of numerousproblems involved, especially in verification; instead,they have provided individual assurances asappropriate, primarily through protocols to NuclearWeapon Free Zone treaties. Nevertheless, the NSAAdHoc Committee continued to search for a basis toprepare a draft treaty which would provide acceptableassurances to the NNWS. At the same time, in April1995, the five nuclear powers issued updated unilateralsecurity assurances with a number of commonelements. In April 1995, the UN Security Council alsopassed an updated and improved resolution on securityassurances (UNSC Resolution 984). The NSAAd HocCommittee was reestablished in 1998 but did not meetin 1999 or in 2000.

The CD also has on its agenda the negotiation of a ban onradiological weapons (RW), a new type of weapon of massdestruction which could disperse radioactive materials withouta nuclear explosion. Such weapons could include wastematerial from peaceful nuclear applications such as spentreactor fuel. In 1979 the U.S. and USSR jointly submitted tothe CD major elements of a treaty banning the development,production, stockpiling and use of radiological weapons.Conclusion of a multilateral treaty within the CD has beenheld up because no such weapons presently exist andbecause of questions about verifiability. Some states alsoinsist that, under this agenda item, discussions be held on atreaty to ban attacks against nuclear facilities. The RW item iscurrently not being discussed in the CD.

A committee began work in 1985 to examine outer spacearms control issues, including the current legal framework.The PAROS issue has been blocked in the CD due to thebelief, particularly of the US, that existing legal regimes forouter space activities are adequate and that no changes areneeded at this time. The Outer Space committee has not metsince1994. However, states such as China have expressedthat the early establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee isnecessary to start substantive work on preventing an armsrace in outer space, with a view to concluding a moreeffective international treaty on this issue at an early date.

RCWstarted in 1999 with a single focus: to increase the quality and quantity of non-governmental organisationpreparation for and participation in the 2000 Review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. At that time, leadersin the peace and disarmament movements indentified the need for a critical mass of political will to be exerted toencourage a positive outcome of the 2000 meeting of 187 governments. Since then, the initiative has expandedto provide primary resources and information around other disarmament fora, namely the Conference onDisarmament in Geneva, and the General Assembly First Committee which is focused on Disarmament andInternational Security.

¬ Centralize and disseminate information about intergovernmental meetings that discuss nuclear weapons and their elimination;

¬ Maintain a centralized electronic repository of information and information services through our website

¬ Increase the quality and quantity of NGO interaction with governments and the United Nations and it's family of Specialised Agencies;

¬ Provide logistical support in facilitating activities before and during these fora tailored for policy-makers and the public.
