CD Session Ends in Stalemate.(UN Conference on Disarmament)(Brief Article)
Concluding the first third of its 2001 negotiating session, the UN Conference on Disarmament (CD) ended its March 27 plenary deadlocked, leaving its 66 members little prospect for progress when plenary meetings resume May 17. Strong U.S. opposition to Chinese and Russian insistence on negotiations on the prevention of an arms race in outer space continued to be the key obstacle blocking the required consensus for any negotiations to get underway within the Geneva-based forum. The CD last held negotiations in 1998.
Russian Ambassador Vasily Sidorov, who asserted March 22 that current agreements covering outer space have "blank spots," reiterated Moscow's support for negotiating a regime to prohibit stationing "any type of weapons in outer space" and threatening the use of force in or from outer space. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty, to which the United States, Russia, and China are party, bars stationing nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction in space.
