Topic: Verification of Disarmament
On the issue of verification of disarmament, Algeria acknowledges that there are concerns about intrusive inspection practices, this could be used for intelligence gathering or exploited for political pressure. On the other side of that equation though, ending inspections could be used for retaliations, or used to threaten and bargained a better deal. This just are a very small point on why verification of disarmament must be handled with the utmost caution.. As Algeria is committed to regional peace and security, we must uphold the values of national sovereignty, non-interference, and multilateralism.
As the role of verification plays a massive part in building confidence and trust between nations, it must be done in a manner that is non-discriminatory and balanced. Past legislation that aims to limit ballistic missiles has disproportionately targeted developing nations while allowing nuclear states to delay or evade their own disarmament obligations. Such a double standard weakens the credibility of international disarmament efforts and fails as a means of safeguarding non-nuclear-weapon states.
To sum it up, Algeria supports a transparent verification method that builds trust, invites cooperation, and is built on an equal footing. We want to create a transparent and secure system that will not be a treaty built on a fishing line but a treaty that will be influenced and have consequences. Algeria is confident in the fact that regional security is able to be sustained for the near future and is willing to be a felicitator of that.
