Analysis from a legal perspective of the French and British statements to the WEU Council on nuclear weapons control (28 June 1961)

Text
On 28 June 1961, Division III of the Agency for the Control of Armaments (ACA) publishes a legal analysis of the French and British statements to the Council of Western European Union (WEU) on the matter of nuclear weapons control. The analysis sets out the views of the French and British Governments on nuclear weapons control. France insists that the issue of nuclear weapons storage has completely changed since the signing of the Paris Protocols, while the United Kingdom holds the opposite view and maintains that the plans for nuclear controls appear to be satisfactory. Division III concludes that it would be worthwhile asking for further information from the French Government on its remarks regarding the Protocols of the modified Brussels Treaty.
