arrangements freely arrived at among the States of each region should be encouraged with the ultimate oujective of achieving a world enEirely free of nuclear titeapons and to aver! the threat of a nuclear war. The creation of such zones serves Eo reduce tbe area in Ehe world where it is potentiatry possible for a nuclear war to occur. The Government of Nigeria, therefore, calls on all regions of the world to co-ordinate effort,s towards the establishrnent of regional denuclearization in line with Ehe Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear weaponb in Latin America (Treaty of Tlatelolco) . (f) It must be recognized that no negotiations on the prevenEion of nuclear rdar can succeed as long as the suPer-Powers do not wish or lack the will Eo disarm. Both strould therefore exert Ehe utmost effort to reduce the international tension to the lowest level as part of inErasuper-Fo$ter confidence-building measures. In Ehis connection, the Goverilnent of Nigeria welcomes the recent agreement by the Lwo super-Powers to resume disarmament talks to be conducted in three sets of negotiations simultaneously. Both sides should sErive to harmonize their negotiaEing positions so that meaningful and concreEe negotiaEions can be conducted on "gr!.*ents relating to guantitative re<iuctions and on restrictions of qualitative improvements of straEegic and interrnediate-range nuclear weapons as well as a halt to the research in anti-satellite and "star lfars" t/teapons. (s) The crovernment of Nigeria is concerned over the lack of progress at the Conference on Disarmament. The often protracted debate on mandates and the rigid adherence to the consensus principle., even on Procedural matters' should not be allowed to obstrucE the substantive work of Ehe Conference on Disarmament' The nuclear-weapon States and in particular Lhe super-Powers should' therefore' endeavour to establish the necessary negotiating climate to enable the Conference
