NEW YORK — The words “a nuclear-weapons-ban treaty” have been deleted from the president’s draft text on nuclear disarmament scheduled to be adopted at the ongoing review of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

Final draft documents, including the president’s The Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty review conference president, Algerian Ambassador Taous Feroukhi,draft text on nuclear disarmament, were distributed to countries participating in the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons at U.N. headquarters on early Friday.

The deletion of the words “a nuclear-weapons-ban treaty” substantially toned down the resolution for nuclear disarmament from the initial president’s draft. A call for world leaders to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki was also not reinstated in the president’s draft text.

President of the conference Taous Feroukhi of Algeria was initially scheduled to distribute the final draft documents to each country Thursday night, but was delayed. The conference will seek to adopt the final draft documents unanimously on Friday.The president’s draft text says, “In light of the 70th year since the end of the tragic devastations of World War II” and incorporates the wording “interactions with and directly sharing the experience of people and the communities affected by nuclear weapons to know their humanitarian impact” as part of efforts to promote education of nuclear disarmament and nuclear nonproliferation.

These expressions were finalized as a result of discussions between Japan and China, according to sources.

The initial president’s draft included a call for world leaders and young people to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki as proposed by Japan and other countries.

Nuclear nations and nonnuclear nations were sharply at odds over nuclear disarmament. The wording “a nuclear-weapons-ban treaty” was deleted in consideration for nuclear powers.

The president’s draft text incorporates the establishment of a working panel to discuss a legal framework “for the achievement and maintenance of a world without nuclear weapons.” The working panel is intended to comprise both government representatives and private organizations.

The president’s draft text stipulates that “the Conference recommends that the open-ended working group conduct its work on the basis of consensus.” It also stresses “deep concerns pertaining to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons.”

“It is in the interest of humanity and the security of all peoples that nuclear weapons never be used again,” it says.

Nonnuclear power nations have been calling for the insertion of a statement that countries will never use nuclear weapons in any circumstances, but this was ultimately not included in the president’s draft text due to opposition from France and other countries.
