Statement by Palestine at the 2nd Session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and Other WMD

The statement highlights the importance of ridding the world of WMD and for the establishment of a ME WMDFZ. It highlights that the NPT's obligations for nuclear disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation are imperative, and a continuous failure in the former compromise achievement in the latter. The statement notes Israel's  obstructive role in refusing to join the NPT and its absence from the ME WMDFZ conference.
