Practice Relating to Nuclear Weapons
In 1996, during a debate in the First Committee of the UN General Assembly, the representative of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya stated:
Secondly, my country has always hastened to support all measures to free the world from the nuclear threat. In addition to having been a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) for over 20 years, we signed in April 1996 the Treaty of Pelindaba on the denuclearization of Africa, demonstrating our genuine will to free the world from nuclear terror.
