UN General Assembly
1965

121. Permit me to reiterate here that my delegation advocates in an unqualified manner the denuclearization of the entire African continent. I wish to record in the strongest possible terms the opposition of my delegation to the use of Africa as a nuclear testing ground by any country in the world. In fact, we are committed to this stand by a resolution of the Organization of African Unity. 122. There is then the related problem of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. The Government of Kenya believes that the use of this remarkable source of energy for peaceful purposes is most desirable to effect accelerated economic growth of the emerging countries. My Government therefore urges the nuclear Powers to co-operate with the developing nations in disseminating practical knowledge on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. 123. Having dealt at some length with the United Nations and the general world situation today, I should now like to discuss some specific political issues.
