dissolution of both alliances, and as a first step, the liquidation of their military organizations. That proposal remains valid, and they stress their readiness to open talks with the States members of NATO with a view to reaching a suitable agreement, starting with the mutual reduction of military activity. However, the tense situation of today does not allow time for waiting. There must be immediate practical measures capable of reducing at once the distrust between the States Parties to the Warsaw Treaty and the States members of NATO and easing the fear\ of possible aggression. The State~ Parties to the Warsaw Treaty do not seek military superiority over the States members of NATO and do not intend to attack them or any other country in Europe or beyond its frontiers. The States members of NATO also declare that they have no aggres­ sive intentions. In these circumstances, there should be no reason preventing the State\ members of the two alliances from assuming appropriate mutual obligations which would have the force of inter­ national law. In the present \ituation, that would have a particularly favourable influence on the entire future development of interna­ tional affairs. Proceeding from 0these con\ideration,. the S,ates Parties to the Warsaw Treaty. through their rcprc,entatives at the highest level, propo,e to the States Partic, to the North Atlantic Treaty the con­ clu,ion of a treaty on the mutual non-use of military force and the maintenance of peaceful rclatiom. The central feature of the treaty could be a mutual commitment by the State, members of the two alliance, not to be the first to use either nuclear or conventional weapon, again,t each other, and hence not to be the fir\! to u,c military force again,t each other at all. That commitment would apply to the territory of all States
