Nuclear disarmament is at an impasse.

The Conference on Disarmament remains deadlocked.

The aftermath of the August crisis may be the moment to think seriously about how to balance continued sanctions on North Korea with deeper economic and social ties. Without such an approach, North and South Korea could, before long, be locked in another military standoff.

Statement on the impasse in nuclear disarmament issued on 4 October 1998 by the Pugwash Council

The disarmament stalemate should not be allowed to continue.

The Conference on Disarmament is still caught in a long lasting impasse.

First, the Conference on Disarmament (CD) is passing through a prolonged impasse.

In this regard, the impasse in the Conference on Disarmament has become unconscionable.

In addition, the impasses in the Conference on Disarmament and the United Nations Disarmament Commission remain unresolved.

The ongoing stalemate in the Conference on Disarmament is a matter of increasing concern.

Progress on nuclear disarmament had been compromised by the protracted impasse in the Conference on Disarmament, which all countries must work to end so that it could begin to negotiate a fissile material cut off treaty and establish a subsidiary body on nuclear disarmament.

Deadlock in Durban

The Conference on Disarmament is already going through a period of chronic impasse and the Disarmament Commission is in a state of paralysis.

The EU regrets the ongoing stalemate in the Conference on Disarmament and is convinced that the new threats to peace and security require that this standstill be overcome as soon as possible.

It was the assessment of the Under Secretary General that the protracted stalemate in the overall political process between Eritrea and Ethiopia posed a threat to military stability, and he therefore asked the Council to consider possible options to achieve a breakthrough.

The stalemate we are witnessing in the Conference on Disarmament and the Disarmament Commission is a clear reflection of the situation in the world of disarmament.

The Conference on Disarmament has remained deadlocked, without a programme of work, for almost nine years.

That is where we are stuck at the moment, and that is what we must unstick.

Making Sense of the Climate Impasse

The New Transatlantic Stalemate

The reasons for the deadlock in the CD over a fissile material treaty are known.

America s Economic Stalemate

Breaking the Climate Deadlock

But the deadlock has been broken.

Focusing political attention on the Conference on Disarmament's deadlock and its negative consequences for our individual and collective security interests is one way to get us out of the rut we are in.

The Conference on Disarmament remains deadlocked, and the Disarmament Commission has again this year been unable to agree on an agenda.

So, it was going nowhere.

Syria s Sectarian Stalemate

This stalemate should be overcome.

In order to break the deadlock, one member suggested the convening of an international conference devoted solely to the issue of nuclear disarmament.

There are resolutions regarding the ICC that have been stalled for years.

What is the reason for this stalemate?

However, as I noted in my previous report, the lack of progress towards resolving the fundamental stalemate poses a threat to military stability.

We believe that the impasse in the multilateral disarmament arena is largely a reflection of the confrontation between two schools of thought.

The idea of striking a balance between these two broad categories is of course not a new one and may provide a way out of the current impasse.

This policy is causing gridlock.

The First Committee is an ideal forum in which to discuss possible solutions to the Conference on Disarmament deadlock.

In that context, we urge that the multilateral disarmament machinery should be strengthened so that it can move the process forward to overcome the deadlock.

It was stressed, however, that the deadlock in the Conference was due to a crisis in confidence or lack of trust.

The NGO representatives registered with the Board their deep concern at the impasse in nuclear disarmament negotiations.

The most important disarmament mechanisms including the Conference on Disarmament, the Disarmament Commission and the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) are all now at an impasse.

But denuclearization negotiations have stalled.

Sure. Excuse me, miss. I was just trying to make things pleasant.
