- Lead toward disarmament also through establishment of NWFZ and WMD Free Zones, and

This conference was a continuation of several conferences organized in 2012 (e.g. Pugwash, Astana, Dubrovnik, London and Amman) and the plan of action will be based on many ideas exposed at these conferences. A particular attention is devoted to a unique role of NATO in helping a realization of some of these ideas.
