...
Also acting without a vote on weapons of mass destruction, the Assembly: expressed grave concern regarding any use of nuclear wastes that would constitute radiological warfare and have grave implications for the national security of all States, and call upon them to take appropriate measures to prevent any dumping of nuclear or radioactive wastes that would infringe upon the sovereignty of States; and reaffirmed that effective measures should be taken to prevent the emergence of new types of weapons of mass destruction.
