An Unexpected Chance for the Success of Postponed NPT Review Conference
延期されたNPT再検討会議成功への予期せぬ可能性とは（セルジオ・ドゥアルテ元国連軍縮問題担当上級代表、パグウォッシュ会議議長）
【ニューヨークIDN＝セルジオ・ドゥアルテ】
NPT加盟国は、２０２０年NPT再検討会議の議長内定者による忍耐強い調整努力と、多くの国々、とりわけ非同盟諸国（NAM）による慎重な状況判断、さらに国連軍縮局からの支援を得て、再検討会議を延期し「状況が許し次第、２０２１年４月までに」開催することを決定した。
新型コロナウィルス感染症の急速な拡大を受けて、延期は不可避であった。この決定により、手続き的な問題、とりわけ会議の日程と開催地をさらに協議する余地が生まれた。一部の加盟国は再検討会議をできるだけ早く開催することを望み、適切な開催地に関する意見も割れていたが、結局は常識が勝った。延期の決定は、不必要な対立を避けることを念頭に再検討会議にいかに最良のアプローチをするかという問題について検討を加える数カ月の猶予を与えることになった。

观点：Sergio Duarte
本文作者是前联合国裁军事务高级代表、现任帕格沃什会议主席。
纽约（IDN）–它需要2020年《不扩散核武器条约》审查会议候任主席耐心等待，由许多国家，特别是不结盟运动（NAM）成员国对相关形势进行审慎评估，并得到联合国裁军事务办公室（UNODA）的帮助。最后，条约缔约国同意将会议推迟至明年，“一旦情况允许即可召开，但不得迟于2021年4月”。

فرصة غير متوقعة لنجاح المؤتمر الاستعراضي لمعاهدة حظر الانتشار النووي المؤجل
رأي سيرجيو دوارتي
الكاتب هو الممثل السامي الأسبق للأمم المتحدة لشؤون نزع السلاح والرئيس الحالي لبوغواش.
نيويورك (IDN) – يتطلب الأمر الكثير من الصبر من الرئيس المعيّن لمؤتمر مراجعة معاهدة الحد من انتشار الأسلحة النووية NPT لعام 2020، وتقييمًا حذرًا للوضع من قبل عدد من الدول، خاصة من دول حركة عدم الانحياز (NAM)، ومساعدة من مكتب الأمم المتحدة لشؤون نزع السلاح (UNODA). في النهاية، اتفقت أطراف المعاهدة على تأجيل المؤتمر إلى السنة المقبلة “بمجرد أن تسمح الظروف بذلك، ولكن في موعد لا يتجاوز أبريل 2021”.

Una oportunidad inesperada para el éxito de la conferencia aplazada sobre la revisión del NPT
Opinión de Sergio Duarte
El redactor es un exalto representante de la ONU para asuntos de desarme y es el actual presidente de Pugwash.
NUEVA YORK (IDN): hizo falta la paciencia del presidente designado de la conferencia sobre la revisión del NPT de 2020, una evaluación sobria de la situación por parte de varios estados, particularmente del Movimiento de Países No Alineados (NAM, por sus siglas en inglés) y la ayuda de la Oficina de Asuntos de Desarme (UNODA, por sus siglas en inglés). Al final, las partes en el tratado acordaron posponer la conferencia para el año que viene, “tan pronto como las circunstancias lo permitan, pero a más tardar en abril de 2021”.

NEW YORK (IDN) – It took patience from the President-designate of the 2020 NPT Review Conference, a sober assessment of the situation by a number of states, particularly from the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and help from the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA). In the end, the parties to the Treaty agreed to postpone the Conference to next year, “as soon as circumstances permit, but no later than April 2021”.
