is not the final goal but a point of departure, an initial step, and that these negotiations, the new negotiations on conventional disarmament, should go beyond the idea of the two alliances and highlight limitations for each country and each region, beyond the search for balance between alliances, and will require a new mandate that must be negotiated so as to complete it before the CSCE meeting in 1992. Spain considers that these new negotiations should also focus on greater arms reductions, structural changes in armed forces so that their configuration and doctrines are defensive, and limitations of a logistic nature which will reduce the possibility of large-scale offensives and surprise attacks. Once the treaty on conventional disarmament starts to be applied, negotiations will begin on short-range nuclear weapons in Europe. It is difficult to imagine that in the not too distant future Europe might still contain short-range nuclear missiles, still less nuclear artillery. It is obvious, therefore, that we are moving, as I have said, towards a new pattern of security based on co-operation where political factors - that is human dignity, individual and collective rights, social justice, the right of nations to choose their own political and economic system, and so on - will contribute to the establishment of a new security equation.

Given the context and content of the text, it seems that the category that best fits is related to international relations and security.
