Resolution 41/93
(December 4, 1986)
The General Assembly,
Bearing in mind its previous resolutions on Israeli nuclear armament, the latest of
which is 40/93 of 12 December 1985,
Recalling resolution 40/82 of 12 December 1985, in which, inter alia, it called
upon all countries of the region that had not done so, pending the
establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East, to
agree to place all their nuclear activities under International Atomic
Energy Agency safeguards,
Recalling further Security Council resolution 487 (1981) of 19 June 1981 in which, inter
alia, the Council called upon Israel urgently to place all its nuclear
facilities under International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards,
Noting with grave concern Israel's persistent refusal to commit itself not to manufacture or
acquire nuclear weapons, despite repeated calls by the General
Assembly, the Security Council and the International Atomic Energy
Agency, and to place its nuclear facilities under Agency safeguards,
Aware of the grave consequences that endanger international peace and
security as a result of Israel's development and acquisition of
nuclear weapons and Israel's collaboration with South Africa to
develop nuclear weapons and their delivery systems,
Deeply concerned over the continuing development and acquisition of nuclear weapons by
Israel,
1. Reiterates its
condemnation of Israel's refusal to renounce any possession of nuclear
weapons;
2. Requests once more the Security Council to take urgent and effective measures to ensure
that Israel complies with Security Council resolution 487 (1981) and
places all its nuclear facilities under International Atomic Energy
Agency safeguards;
3. Reiterates its
request to the Security Council to investigate Israel's nuclear
activities and the collaboration of other States, parties and
institutions in the nuclear field;
4. Reiterates its
request to the International Atomic Energy Agency to suspend any
scientific co-operation with Israel which could contribute to its
nuclear capabilities;
5. Calls upon all
States and organizations that have not yet done so to discontinue
co-operating with and giving assistance to Israel in the nuclear
field;
6. Reaffirms its
condemnation of the continuing nuclear collaboration between Israel
and South Africa;
7. Requests the
Secretary-General to follow closely Israeli nuclear activities in the
light of the latest available information, and to update the Study on
Israeli Nuclear Armament and submit it to the General Assembly at its
forty-second session;
8. Decides to include
in the provisional agenda of its forty-second session the item
entitled "Israeli nuclear armament."
