The Group emphasized that after such a period of operation it was appropriate to consider measures that would continue to keep the Register relevant to an increasing number of States, thus supporting the goal of universal participation, while also keeping its development abreast of technological changes in weapons systems and developments in military doctrine since its inception in 1992.
Il convenait dès lors d'envisager des mesures qui garantiraient la pertinence du Registre pour le plus grand nombre d'États possibles, contribuant ainsi à la réalisation de l'objectif que constitue la participation universelle et aussi d'incorporer à cet instrument les innovations techniques concernant les systèmes d'armement intervenues depuis sa création en 1992.
