  The Conference on Disarmament and Negative Security Assurances

The Conference on Disarmament and Negative Security Assurances July 2017 FACT SHEET THE CONFERENCE ON DISARMAMENT AND NEGATIVE SECURITY ASSURANCES In 1978, the final document of the First Special Session of the General Assembly devoted to Disarmament asked in its paragraph 59 that the nuclear-weapon States “pursue efforts to conclude, as appropriate, effective arrangements to assure the non-nuclear weapon States against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons.” (...) Its mandate was to negotiate “effective international arrangements to assure non-nuclear-weapon States against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons”. (...) The establishment of internationally recognized nuclear-weapon-free zones on the basis of arrangements freely arrived at among States of the region concerned is regarded as enhancing global and regional peace and security, strengthens the nuclear non-proliferation regime and contributes towards the realizing the objectives of nuclear disarmament.

Article 21 States Parties that recognize and/or permit the system of adoption shall ensure that the best interests of the child shall be the paramount consideration and they shall: (a) Ensure that the adoption of a child is authorized only by competent authorities who determine, in accordance with applicable law and procedures and on the basis of all pertinent and reliable information, that the adoption is permissible in view of the child's status concerning parents, relatives and legal guardians and that, if required, the persons concerned have given their informed consent to the adoption on the basis of such counselling as may be necessary; (b) Recognize that inter-country adoption may be considered as an alternative means of child's care, if the child cannot be placed in a foster or an adoptive family or cannot in any suitable manner be cared for in the child's country of origin; (c) Ensure that the child concerned by inter-country adoption enjoys safeguards and standards equivalent to those existing in the case of national adoption; (d) Take all appropriate measures to ensure that, in inter-country adoption, the placement does not result in improper financial gain for those involved in it; (e) Promote, where appropriate, the objectives of the present article by concluding bilateral or multilateral arrangements or agreements, and endeavour, within this framework, to ensure that the placement of the child in another country is carried out by competent authorities or organs. (...) In particular, where the person having financial responsibility for the child lives in a State different from that of the child, States Parties shall promote the accession to international agreements or the conclusion of such agreements, as well as the making of other appropriate arrangements.
