Jacques Chirac also makes another two points clear: France takes the right to use nuclear weapons against a state which does not have nuclear weapons and it would attack first. _France replaces the terms conventional weapons or nuclear weapons with a new classification: classic or mass destruction weapons, which also includes chemical, bacteriological and nuclear weapons at the same level.
Francia sustituye la distinción armas convencionales o nucleares por una nueva categorización: armas clásicas o de destrucción masiva, que sitúa en el mismo plano las armas químicas, bacteriológicas y nucleares. A partir de ahí, el fuego nuclear puede prevenir o responder a un ataque químico o bacteriológico.
