Report of the First Committee on the Establishment of a Middle East Nuclear Weapon Free Zone

This 1974 report by the First Committee highlighted the proposal by Iran, which was then co-sponsored by Egypt, to add a new agenda item titled "Establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free-zone in the region of the Middle East". The proposal was subsequently formally included in the work of the General Assembly.
