UN General Assembly
1960

59. We heard last week the proposal of the President of the United States for an international armaments inspection machinery, under the auspices of the United Nations, to be called in by a country that wishes to make known to the world the non-aggressive nature of its defence measures. This proposal is an extremely interesting one and should, in our view, be given high priority in any disarmament discussions. Its importance lies not only in bringing the United Nations into the focus of inspection but also in the fact that it attempts to forestall the danger of wars caused by miscalculation.
