weapons should swiftly be phased out. Widespread naval activities by nuclear weapon Powers are a source of concern for many States, since the mobility of naval forces allows for flexible and rapid deployment. Sea-borne nuclear weapons are a global concern and should be speedily integrated into the disarmament process. A series of measures may be envisaged in this context - tactical naval nuclear disarmament, whether by unilateral, bilateral or multilateral means; the reconsideration of the principle of neither confirming nor denying the presence of nuclear weapons on board naval vessies; confidence-building and security-building measures. My delegation has proposed that the Conference on Disarmament should include the issue of naval nuclear armaments and disarmament in its deliberations. Sweden has further proposed that the risks pertaining to nuclear weapons at sea should be considered by the Conference on Disarmament in the context of the prevention of nuclear war. CD/PV.555 9 (Mrs. Theorin, Sweden ) Sweden notes with satisfaction that important deliberations on naval armaments and disarmament have taken place within the framework of the United Nations Disarmament Commission. Sweden further welcomes suggestions made by other States in the UNDC deliberations in the naval field, including the possibility of using the United Nations standardized reporting system for military budgets for the sharing of information concerning naval forces. A great number of States participated actively at the UNDC in the negotiation of a Chairman's paper on naval armaments and disarmament. This document marks clear progress towards an open and fruitful dialogue on naval issues. I recognize that not all States represented here are committed to this paper. Still, perhaps I may express the hope that it will now prove possible to continue the dialogue on naval issues with the active participation of all the major naval Powers.
