Declaration on the Prevention of Nuclear Catastrophe The General Assembly, Bearing in mind that the foremost task of the United Nations, born in the flames of the Second World War, has been, is and will be to save present and succeeding gen- erations from the scourge of war, Recognizing that all the horrors of past wars and all other calamities that have befallen people would pale in compar- ison with what is inherent in the use of nuclear weapons capable of destroying civilization on earth, Reaffirming that the universally accepted objective is to eliminate completely the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons through the cessation of their production, followed by the destruction of their stockpiles, and that, to this end, priority in disarmament negotiations should be given to nu- clear disarmament, Convinced that, as the first step in this direction, the use of nuclear weapons and the waging of nuclear war should be outlawed, Solemnly proclaims, on behalf of the States Members of the United Nations: I . States and statesmen that resort first to the use of nuclear weapons will be committing the gravest crime against humanity. 2. There will never be any justification or pardon for statesmen who take the decision to be the first to use nuclear weapons. 3. Any doctrines allowing the first use of nuclear weapons and any actions pushing the world towards a catastrophe are incompatible with human moral standards and the lofty ideals of the United Nations. 4. It is the supreme duty and direct obligation of the leaders of nuclear-weapon States to act in such a way as to eliminate the risk of the outbreak of a nuclear conflict. The nuclear-arms race must be stopped and reversed by joint efforts, through negotiations conducted in good faith and on the basis of equality, having as their ultimate goal the complete elimination of nuclear weapons.
