Description
Byline: Zafar Nawaz Jaspal The United Nations-sponsored, 65-member Conference on Disarmament (CD) attempted to commence negotiations in January 2010 to ban the production of fissile materials for weapons purposes; namely, plutonium and highly-enriched uranium. The primary thrust of the overwhelming majority of CD membership was to finalize a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT) draft, lacking the nuclear disarmament feature. An attempt was made to cap the number of warheads that could be manufactured. Pakistan, being an active member at the CD, while reiterating its historical stance on the FMCT, also drove the attention of fellow participants to the destabilizing linkage between the contemplated FMCT and regional strategic asymmetries.
