Description

From Ambassador Nebenzia's remarks:

"The US and Japan have presented to the Security Council a draft resolution prohibiting placement of nuclear weapons in outer space. It looks seemingly positive, but there are important pitfalls, which our Western colleagues try to conceal in this regard. I will try to expose these pitfalls so that no one has any illusions about true colors of this sly and misleading initiative."
