Statement of UK Ambassador, Ian Souter 27th March, 2001


I have asked for the floor today to inform the Conference that on 27 February 2001, the United Kingdom ratified Protocols I and 11 of the Treaty of Pelindaba, the Treaty which established an African Nuclear Weapons Free Zone.

The United Kingdom's decision to ratify the Protocols to the Treaty clearly demonstrates our support for a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone in Africa. It underlines out commitment to nuclear non-proliferation and our wish to see a world free of all weapons of mass destruction.
