Calls for continued efforts to strengthen the Treaty on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems2 and to preserve its integrity and validity so that it remains a cornerstone in maintaining global strategic stability and world peace and in promoting further strategic nuclear arms reductions;

Calls also for renewed efforts by each of the States parties to preserve and strengthen the Treaty through full and strict compliance;

Calls upon the parties to the Treaty, in accordance with their obligations under the Treaty, to limit the deployment of anti-ballistic missile systems, to refrain from the deployment of anti-ballistic missile systems for the defence of the territory of their country, not to provide a base for such a defence and not to transfer to other States or deploy outside their national territory anti-ballistic missile systems or their components limited by the Treaty;

Considers that the implementation of any measure undermining the purposes and the provisions of the Treaty also undermines global strategic stability and world peace and the promotion of further strategic nuclear arms reductions;

Urges all Member States to support efforts aimed at stemming the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery;

Supports further efforts by the international community, in the light of emerging developments, towards safeguarding the inviolability and integrity of the Treaty, which is in the strongest interest of the international community;

Welcomes the decision taken by the United States of America on 1 September 2000 not to authorize deployment of a national missile defence at this time, and considers that it constitutes a positive step for the preservation of strategic stability and security;

Decides to include in the provisional agenda of its fifty-sixth session the item entitled “Preservation of and compliance with the Treaty on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems”.
