Annex I

III.

Basic provisions of a treaty on the complete and general prohibition of nuclear-weapon tests

The objective of averting nuclear war, towards which the efforts of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and of other peace-loving States are directed, makes it imperative to take such measures, inter alia. as would impede the development of ever-new types and systems of nuclear weapons.

One such effective measure would be the immediate cessation and pro hibition of nuclear-weapon tests by all States and in all environments,

which at the same time would promote the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Motivated by these goals. the Soviet Union is submitting to States Members of the United Nations, for their consideration, the following basic provisions of a treaty on the complete and general prohibition of nuclear-weapon tests.

SCOPE OF THE PROHIBITION A.

Each State party to this Treaty shall undertake to prohibit, to prevent and not to carry out any nuclear-weapon test explosions at any place under its jurisdiction or control, in any environment-in the atmosphere, beyond its limits, including outer space, under water or under ground.

No party shall cause, encourage or in any way participate in the conduct of any nuclear-weapon-test explosions anywhere.

A moratorium shall be declared on nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes, under which the parties to this Treaty shall refrain from causing,

encouraging, or in any way participating in carrying out such explosions until the relevant procedure has been evolved.

Promptly after the entry into force of this Treaty, consideration shall be given to the question of procedure for carrying out nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes. Such procedure, to be agreed upon, may take the
