The Resolution, presented by the Assembly Member, Maria Augusta Calle, was prepared in collaboration with the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, World without Wars and Violence, and Pressenza the International News Agency for peace and nonviolence. Subsequently, after the intervention by the Resolution sponsor, six further speeches were made suggesting modifications to the text. 2.– To recall that all Parties to the NPT have a moral and legal responsibility to pursue courses of action which protect their people from the dangers of nuclear weapons through their prohibition and elimination. 5.– To call on the government of Ecuador to take all possible measures so that the open-ended working group may reach conclusions that lead to the start of negotiations for a treaty to ban and eliminate nuclear weapons. 8.– To denounce the fact that despite the NPT entering into force in 1970 the world is no nearer the objective of nuclear disarmament.
