In the current international climate there is greater support for progressive steps for the delegitimization of nuclear weapons. Measures to reduce nuclear danger arising from the accidental or unauthorized use of nuclear weapons, increasing restraints on the use of nuclear weapons and de-alerting of nuclear weapons are pertinent in this regard. India’s resolutions in the First Committee gave expression to some of these ideas and have found support from a large number of States. Our working paper CD/1816, tabled in the Conference on Disarmament in 2007, which was developed in the spirit of the 1988 Rajiv Gandhi action plan, also suggested specific measures, including a Global No First Use Agreement and a Convention on the Prohibition of Use of Nuclear Weapons.
