Nuclear-Weapon-Free zones

Between 1970 and 1975, there was increasing interest in creating nuclear-weapon-free zones in various regions of the world similar to that established for Latin America under the 1967 Treaty of Tlatelolco, and by 1974 specific new initiatives had been taken in that direction. In addition, certain action was taken with respect to the implementation of the Latin American Treaty. As in the past, all such measures were viewed as effective contributions to halting the proliferation of nuclear weapons and promoting progress towards nuclear disarmament.
