UN General Assembly
1968

220. In the process of disarmament, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is obviously a genuine success, as were the Treaty on the Antarctic, the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, the Treaty of Tlatelolco and the Treaty on the Exploration and Use of Outer Space — all documents of the highest importance which call to mind General Assembly resolution 1 (I), adopted on 24 January 1946, whereby we set up the Commission to deal with the problems raised by the discovery of atomic energy. We hope that the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons will gain new adherents among States. 221. With regard to the fourteen resolutions and the declaration adopted by the Conference of Non-Nuclear-Weapon States, held at Geneva from 29 August to 28 September 1968, may we say that their importance deserves the careful consideration of this Assembly.
