Mongolian Nuclear-weapons-free Status




The initiative was well received by Mongolia's nuclear armed neighbors, , on December 9 , 1974 explicitly states

''"obligations relating to the establishment of nuclear-weapon-free zones may be assumed not only by groups of states, including entire continents or large geographical regions, but also by small groups of States and even individual countries."''

Mongolia's drive for international recognition yielded fruit in Resolution 53/77 D {Link without Title} , which was adopted by the General Assembly on December 4 , 1998 , which welcomed Mongolia's goal, and put it on the agenda for the next meeting.

Finally, on February 28 , 2000 , the Mongolian Ambassador to the UN Jargalsaikhany Enkhsaikhan presented a letter {Link without Title} outlining the Mongolian denuclearization law, which was then circulated as A/55/56 S/2000/160. At this stage, it appears that the international recognition of Mongolia's nuclear-weapons-free status is complete.
