Implementation of nuclear weapon-free status discussed

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ At its regular meeting on Tuesday, the parliamentary Standing committee on security and foreign policy discussed an implementation of Mongolia’s legal documents on nuclear weapon-free status of the country. Mongolia has been cooperating with UN members, especially with nuclear weapon states implementing the UN resolution on Mongolia’s international security and nuclear weapon-free status. In 2012, the five nuclear weapon states (Russia, China, USA, Great Britain and France) approved Mongolia’s nuclear weapon-status and announced they will do nothing to violate the status. There is no violation of our laws on the nuclear weapon-free status, the legal documents on the matter are being realized normally, a working group on the relevant matter concluded. The group considered as necessity to give an order to the government to cooperate with countries in disarmament of nuclear weapons by altering the parliamentary resolution of 2000 in full harmony of a present international situation and the 120th resolution of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU). The Standing committee considered that directions must be given to the government on taking some measures such as conducting surveys into nuclear structures in neighbour countries and reporting it to the National Security Council (NSC), monitoring law enforcement of Mongolian and international laws by rental ships with the Mongolian state flag.
