UN General Assembly
1963

127. Chile was one of the five signatories of the Declaration on the Denuclearization of Latin America [A/5415]; it was one of the first countries to sign the nuclear test ban treaty; and our President, Mr. Alessandri, some years ago made a fervent appeal for limitation of armaments to the Latin American countries. Chile's international policy is not an expression of the views of one group alone but of the whole nation, uncoloured by partisanship. The search for more effective methods for the maintenance of peace and the halting of the deadly arms race is of the deepest concern to the people and Government of Chile, and we shall continue to pursue it resolutely. Our own Intelligence shows us the complexity of the problem, but we are also convinced that we must take positive action to give full effect to the principles of the Charter.
