KYOTO -- Delegates to the Fourth United Nations Conference on Disarmament Issues in Kyoto leveled heavy criticism Wednesday on an unofficial report on regional disarmament issues issued by a Tokyo-based panel of experts. But a government spokesman said Japan supported the report and will ask the U.N. General Assembly to distribute it as an official document.
During the second day of the four-day conference, delegates discussed a report issued Sunday by the Tokyo Forum. The forum consists of 21 nuclear disarmament experts and is co-chaired by former U.N. Undersecretary General Yasushi Akashi.
