192 (III). Interdiction de l'arme atomique et reduction d'1m tiers des armements et des forces armees des membres permanents du Conseil de securite l/Assernblee genfrale,
Soucieuse d' etablir des relations de confiante Charte et de rendre possible une reduction de l~ guerre soient a l'avenir epargnees a
des depenses militaires,
Considerant qu'aucun accord n'est realisable sur aucune proposition de reduction des armaments de type classique et des forces armees tant que chaque Etat ne dispose pas de renseignements precis et averes au sujet des armements de type classique et des forces armees d'autres Etats, tant qu'aucune convention n'est inte.- venue au sujet de8 elemPnts dP n11issanrP mili.
would apply, and so long as no oTgan of ,ontrol has been established,
Considering that the aim of the reduction of conventional armaments and armed forces can only be attained in an atmosphere of real and lasting improvement in international relations, which implies in particular the application of control of atomic energy involving the prohibition of the atomic weapon,
But noting on the other hand that this renewal of confidence would be greatly encouraged if States were placed in possession of precise and verified data as to the level of their respective conventional armaments and armed forces,
Recommends the Security Council to pursue the study of the regulation and reduction of conventional armaments and armed forces through the agency of the Commission for Conventional Armaments in order to obtain concrete results as soon as Possible;
Trusts that the Commission for Conventional Armaments, in carrying out its plan of work, will devote its first attention to formulating proposals for the receipt, checking and publication, by an international organ of control within the framework of the Security Couucil, of full information to be supplied by Member States with regard to their effectives and thrir conventional armaments ;
Invite, the Security Council to report to the ' t\ssemhly no later than its next regular session on the effect given to the present recommendation, with a view to enabling it to continue its activity with regard to the regulation of armaments in accordance with the purposes and principles defined by the Charter;
lnvirea all nations in the Commission for Conventional Armaments to co-operate to the utmost of their power in the attainment of the above-mentioned objectives.
