UN General Assembly
1960

81. The Government of the United States has declared here [870th meeting] through its representatives that such questions cannot be discussed and solved in such a broad plenum. We assert, as a matter of principle, that the General Assembly can solve such questions. 82. Why could not the plenum take decisions on general and complete disarmament under International control? Why could not the plenum express in general terms what Its Idea of disarmament is, and then enjoin other United Nations organs to elaborate the measures for the realization of this task in keeping with these basic directions? 83. The Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic considers serious and effective consideration of the question of general and complete disarmament as one of the main tasks of the fifteenth session of the United Nations Assembly. To realize general and complete disarmament under effective international control is in our opinion the most urgent task of the present day. Our delegation will make every effort to contribute to the achievement of the pertinent decisions.
