United Nations, Nov 8: India voted against a resolution by Pakistan on ‘Conventional arms control at the regional and subregional levels’.
It notes “with particular interest the initiatives taken in this regard in different regions of the world, in particular the consultations among a number of Latin American countries and the proposals for conventional arms control made in the context of South Asia, and recognising, in the context of this subject, the relevance and value of conventional arms control in regional security.”
The resolution, “believing that militarily significant states and states with larger military capabilities have a special responsibility in promoting such agreements for regional security,” decided to give “urgent consideration to the issues involved in conventional arms control at the regional and subregional levels.”
