Excerpt
Excerpt: The States members of the League of Arab States wish to reaffirm their position, dated 2 October 2000, regarding transparency in armaments, particularly in respect of the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms, as set forth in the report of the Secretary-General (A/56/257/Add.1), as follows: // 2. The members of the League of Arab States have for some years past been expressing their views with regard to the entire matter of transparency in armaments, embracing as it does the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms. These views are clear and well established and are based on a general orientation with respect to international disarmament issues and a particular, regional one that is determined by the specific character of the situation in the Middle East. The points set forth hereunder convey the Arab position in this regard. // 3. The members of the League of Arab States advocate transparency in armaments as a means of enhancing international peace and security and believe that, in order to be successful, any transparency mechanism must be guided by certain basic principles: it must be balanced, comprehensive and non-discriminatory, and it must enhance the national, regional and international security of all States in conformity with international law.
