Excerpt
Excerpt: Cuba has been a regular contributor to the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms, which it considers a useful though incomplete instrument that is part of the overall efforts and aims of the international community to avert international tensions and misunderstandings between States. It is incomplete because weapons of mass destruction should also be included within the scope of the Register, as a transitional measure towards their complete prohibition, which is the only definitive solution to the dangers that such weapons represent. // 2. Unfortunately, the notable progress achieved in the fields of chemical and biological disarmament, particularly the former, has not been matched in the field of nuclear disarmament. // 3. The Register is a confidence-building tool that should not neglect the legitimate security concerns of States. It is a tool that is complemented by other measures being taken at the national, regional and global levels. // 4. For this year, Cuba has already transmitted to the United Nations Secretariat relevant information for the Register, which will be included in the report on the subject that the Secretary-General will shortly be issuing.
