255. We feel that if the industrialized countries could reach agreement on lowering the high budgets they are devoting to the arms race and utilize the sums released for the benefit of development, they would be effectively participating in the elimination of the starvation and hunger that are undermining the majority of mankind; this, too, would contribute to the cause of disarmament. 256. The disarmament process is a long and tortuous one. It demands political will, mutual confidence and, most of all, the determination to create a better future for our children. 257. It is this same determination that leads us to denounce and condemn the support the imperialist Powers are giving to the apartheid regime for the manufacture of nuclear weapons. The technological and material assistance given to this regime for nuclear purposes can only aggravate the already explosive situation by assisting in the continued existence of racist regimes.
