DISARMAMENT GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
The overall goal of the United States is a free, secure, and peaceful world of independent states adhering to common standards of justice and international conduct and subjecting the use of force to the rule of law; a world which has achieved general and complete disarmament under effective international control; and a world in which adjustment to change takes place in accordance with the principles of the United Nations.
In order to make possible the achievement of that goal, the program sets forth the following specific objectives toward which nations should direct their efforts:
* The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition of their re-establishment in any form whatsoever other than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to a
United Nations Peace Force.
* The elimination from national arsenals of all armaments , including all weapons of mass destruction and the means for their delivery, other than those required for a United Nations Peace Force and for maintaining internal order:
* The institution of effective means for the enforcement of international agreements, for the enforcement of international disputes, and for the principles of the United Nations;
* The establishment and effective operation of an International Disarmament within the framework of the United Nations to insure compliance at all times with all disarmament obligations.
