Statement by Jordan at the Sixth Session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and Other WMD

The statement by Jordan calls for leveraging lessons from existing NWFZ and developing partnerships between the conference and other zones to exchange best practices and enhance readiness for treaty negotiations. Jordan stresses the importance of dispute-settlement mechanisms and securing unconditional negative security assurances in the future treaty. It also calls for promoting practical regional confidence-building measures, including nuclear risk reduction through transparency, information exchange, and joint emergency response training.
Jordan announced it would host regional consultations in preparation for the NPT RevCon and reiterated its call on Israel to join the ME WMDFZ conference and the NPT and to subject its nuclear facilities to IAEA safeguards.
