Creating the Conditions for Nuclear Disarmament
In an April 25 statement to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Preparatory Committee, Dr. Christopher Ford, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Non-Proliferation, emphasized the need for nations to work together to create the conditions conducive to further nuclear disarmament. "All NPT Parties bear responsibility for working together to improve the geopolitical environment and create the conditions for nuclear disarmament, that is, to take the “CCND Approach,” as we refer to it," Dr. Ford told the NPT Prepcom. "This practical approach to disarmament diplomacy envisions all NPT Parties contributing to efforts to ameliorate conflicts and rivalries that lead to the continued reliance on nuclear deterrence."
