Final Document of International Conference:
“Dimensions to create a Nuclear-Weapon Free Northeast Asia”
Ulaanbaatar, 26 November 2014
1. The International Conference: “Dimensions to create a Nuclear-Weapon
Free NEA” was held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia on 26 November 2014. It was
organized by the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict
(GPPAC) Northeast Asia and Blue Banner, Ulaanbaatar Focal Point of
GPPAC, under the auspices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Economic Development of Mongolia.
2. Over 60 people, including civil society representatives and scholars
from Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Kyoto, Pyongyang, Seoul, Taipei, Tokyo,
Ulaanbaatar and Vladivostok, as well as representatives of the GPPAC
Global Secretariat in the Hague, gathered in Ulaanbaatar. They discussed
the challenges that the world and East Asia were facing. These included
especially nuclear security; the feasibility and need to establish a
Northeast Asian nuclear-weapon-free zone (NEA-NWFZ); the impact of
military alliances, foreign military bases and expenditure; and the
threats currently posed to Article 9, the peace clause of the Japanese
Constitution. In this regard they considered different proposals and
ideas, including a comprehensive approach to this region’s security.
They also considered Mongolia’s nuclear-weapon-free status and the role
that the country could play in promoting greater confidence, stability
and non-proliferation in the region. The participants reaffirmed their
commitment to conflict prevention, peacebuilding and non-proliferation
in the region, as reflected in the previous statements of GPPAC
Northeast Asia in the 2005 Tokyo Agenda, the 2006 Mt Kumgang Action
Plan, and the 2007 and 2010 Ulaanbaatar statements.
3. The participants believed that addressing issues of the humanitarian
consequences of nuclear weapons detonation, accidental or intentional,
was an important and timely measure that would allow the international
community to maintain high awareness of the urgency of nuclear
disarmament by deepening the understanding of the devastating
consequences of nuclear detonation. Hence they welcomed the holding of
two conferences on the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons in Oslo,
Norway in 2013 and in Nayarit, Mexico in 2014, and the civil society
involvement therein. The Oslo conference addressed the consequences of a
nuclear weapon detonation through a humanitarian lens, while the Nayarit
conference allowed a deeper understanding of such consequences focusing
on long-term effects as well as effects on public health, environment,
climate change, food security, displacements and development. They
believed that the third conference, to be held in Vienna this December,
would highlight further the urgency of abolishing nuclear weapons by
hearing further testimonies, looking at consequences of nuclear weapon
tests, and the risks of human and technical error and would contribute
to starting negotiations aimed at eliminating nuclear weapons. Therefore
they called upon civil society organizations to take an active part in
both the governmental conference and the civil society forum in Vienna.
4. Participants reaffirmed their conviction that the only effective
guarantee against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons was their
complete prohibition and elimination through conclusion of international
legally-binding instrument to this effect. Thus they rejected
modernization of existing nuclear weapons and development of new types
of such weapons as acts inconsistent with the goals and obligations of
nuclear disarmament. They welcomed the decision of the General Assembly
of the United Nations to designate 26 September as International Day for
the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, the convening in 2013 of a
high level meeting on nuclear disarmament and its outcome, and called
upon states to convene the second meeting not later than 2018 so as to
identify concrete measures and actions to eliminate nuclear weapons in
the shortest possible time. In the interim, they called on the
international community to commence negotiations and adopt without delay
a universal and legally binding instrument on negative security
assurances. The conference also expressed its support for the Republic
of the Marshall Islands’ efforts “Nuclear Zero” lawsuits, holding the
nine nuclear-armed nations accountable for failing to comply with their
obligations under the NPT.
5. During the discussion due attention was given to the preparations for
the 2015 Review Conference on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of
Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which was the cornerstone of the disarmament and
non-proliferation regime. They called upon nuclear-weapon states to
fully comply with their obligations to nuclear disarmament under Article
VI of the NPT, and fully implement the 13 practical steps towards
nuclear disarmament agreed upon at the 2000 NPT Review Conference as
well as the Action Plan adopted at the 2010 Review Conference, in
particular Action 5.
6. The participants reaffirmed the important role that NWFZs play in
strengthening regional and international security, and expressed support
for strengthening the existing ones. In that respect they expressed
concern that despite the agreements reached by the states parties to the
NPT in 1995, 2000 and 2010, the international conference on the
establishment of a Middle East NWFZ had not been held and expressed the
hope that such a conference would be held before the 2015 NPT Review
Conference.
7. The participants expressed concern over the persisting tensions in
the Northeast Asian region, including on and around the Korean
peninsula. They believed that the Six Party Talks still could play an
important role in addressing some of their causes, and that other forms
of dialogue to contribute to a permanent peace regime be sincerely
pursued. The participants believed that confidence-building measures to
improve relations and a broad approach to addressing this issue,
including the feasibility of establishing a NEA-NWFZ, were practically
useful, and that the nuclear umbrella and extended nuclear deterrence
needed to be given up altogether.
8. They welcomed the Mongolian President’s proposal to promote the
Ulaanbaatar Dialogue on Northeast Asian Security as an effective way to
reduce mistrust and promote mutual understanding and greater confidence.
They believed that civil society needed to play its role in promoting
understanding and dialogue in the region and reiterated their commitment
to continue cooperation of civil society organizations with a view to
developing and strengthening a shared vision for a peaceful and stable
Northeast Asia, as the Ulaanbaatar Process proposed by GPPAC Northeast
Asia in 2007 and currently in preparation. The potential agenda for
future dialogue sessions was to focus not only on traditional peace and
security issues, but also include more comprehensive aspects such as
economy, the environment, sustainability, disaster relief, gender, human
security, the potential role of civil society, etc.
9. The participants welcomed Mongolia’s nuclear-weapon-free zone policy
both as a concrete contribution to regional stability, and as an
innovative approach to addressing nuclear threat-related issues. They
welcomed the joint declaration of the five nuclear-weapon states whereby
the latter pledged to respect Mongolia’s status and not to contribute to
any act that would violate it. The participants expressed the hope that
Mongolia’s example would be an inspiring example in addressing similar
cases.
10. The participants reaffirmed their support for global efforts to
promote nuclear disarmament and conflict prevention in which civil
society could play an important role. Thus they supported various civil
society led campaigns and efforts such as the International Campaign to
Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), Mayors for Peace, the various national
and international campaigns to end the Korean War, and those to protect
and promote Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. The importance of
engagement between civil society from the Northeast Asian region and
that of the United States was also highlighted. They also reiterated
their commitment to the goals of GPPAC and expressed their resolve to
promote them at the global, regional and local levels.
