DISARMAMENT
AND
RELATED MATTERS
1.
MEETINGS
OF THE
CONFERENCE
OF THE
COMMITTEE
ON
DISARMAMENT
During
its two
series
of
meetings
in
1974,
the
Conference
of the
Committee
on
Disarma-
ment gave priority
to the
question
of the
prohibition
of the
development, production
and
stockpiling
of
chemical weapons
and to the
question
of the
cessation
of
nuclear weapon tests.
Effective
measures relating
to the
early cessation
of the
nuclear arms
race
and to
nuclear
disarmament
as
well
as
general
and
complete disarmament were
also
considered. Informal
meetings
were held
to
discuss questions relating
to the
scope
and
verification
of a
prohibition
of
the
development, production
and
stockpiling
of
chemical weapons.
All
aspects
of the
work
of
the
Committee
in
1974
are
covered
in its
report
to the
General
Assembly.1

WORLD
DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE
The Ad Hoc
Committee
on the
World Disarmament Conference held
16
meetings
in
1974
and
submitted
a
report
to the
General Assembly
in
accordance
with resolution 3183
(XXV11I)
of 18
December
1973.2
During
its
meetings,
the
Committee examined
the
views
and
sugges-
tions expressed
by
Governments
on the
convening
of a
world disarmament conference
and
related
problems.
By
resolution 326O (XXIX)
of 9
December
1974,
the
General Assembly,
inter alia.
reiterated
its
conviction that
all
peoples
of the
world have
a
vital interest
in the
success
of
disarmament negotiations
and
that
all
States
should
be in a
position
to
contribute
to the
adoption
of
measures towards that goal, stressed anew
its
belief that
a
world disarmament
conference, adequately prepared
and
convened
at an
appropriate time, could promote
the
realization
of
such aims
and
requested
the Ad Hoc
Committee
to
reconvene
in
1975.
