TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE RUSSIANFEDERATION ON MEASURES FOR THE FURTHER REDUCTION AND

LIMITATION OF STRATEGIC OFFENSIVE ARMS

The United States of America and the Russian Federation,hereinafter referred to as the Parties,

Believing that global challenges and threats require newapproaches to interaction across the whole range of theirstrategic relations,

Working therefore to forge a new strategic relationshipbased on mutual trust, openness, predictability, andcooperat on,

Desiring to bring their respective nuclear postures intoalignment with this new relationship, and endeavoring toreduce further the role and importance of nuclear weapons,

Committed to the fulfillment of their obligations underArticle VI of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of NuclearWeapons of July 1, 1968, and to the achievement of thehistoric goal of freeing humanity from the nuclear threat,

Expressing strong support for on-going global efforts innon-proliferation,

Seeking to preserve continuity in, and provide new impetusto, the step-by-step rocess of reducing and limiting nucleararms while maintaining the safety and security of theirnuclear arsenals, and with a view to expanding this process inthe future, including to a multilateral approach,

Guided by the principle of indivisible security andconvinced that measures for the reduction and limitation ofstrategic offensive arms and the other obligations set forthin this Treaty will enhance predictability and stability, andthus the security of both Parties,


2/182

Recognizing the existence of the interrelationship betweenstrategic offensive arms and strategic defensive arms, thatthis interrelationship will become more important as strategicnuclear arms are reduced, and that current strategic defensivearms do not undermine the viability and effectiveness of thestrategic offensive arms of the Parties,

Mindful of the impact of conventionally armed ICBMs andSLBMs on strategic stability,

Taking into account the positive effect on the worldsituation of the significant, verifiable reduction in nucleararsenals at the turn of the 21st century,

Desiring to create a mechanism for verifying compliancewith the obligations under this Treaty, adapted, simplified,and made less costly in comparison to the Treaty Between theUnited States of America and the Union of Soviet SocialistRepublics on the Reduction and Limitation of StrategicOffensive Arms of July 31, 1991, hereinafter referred to asthe START Treaty,

Recognizing that the START Treaty has been implemented bythe Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, theRussian Federation, Ukraine, and the United States of America,and that the reduction levels envisaged by the START Treatywere achieved,

Deeply appreciating the contribution of the Republic ofBelarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, and Ukraine to nucleardisarmament and to strengthening international peace andsecurity as non-nuclear-weapon states under the Treaty on theNon-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of July 1, 1968,

Welcoming the implementation of the Treaty Between theUnited States of America and the Russian Federation onStrategic Offensive Reductions of May 24, 2002,

PART THREE - CONVERSION OR ELIMINATION PROCEDURESSection I. General Provisions1. Conversion or elimination of strategic offensive armssubject to the Treaty shall be carried out in situ or atdeclared facilities.2.

If an ICBM launcher or SLBM launcher is converted to alauncher of ICBMs or a launcher of SLBMs of another type, itshall be considered to be a launcher of ICBMs or a launcher ofSLBMs of the type to which it was converted. If an ICBMlauncher, SLBM launcher, or heavy bomber is converted byrendering it incapable of employing ICBMs, SLBMs, or nucleararmaments, so that the other Party can confirm the results ofthe conversion, such a converted strategic offensive arm shallcease to be subject to the aggregate numbers provided for inArticle I1 of the Treaty and may be used for purposes notinconsistent with the Treaty.4.
