UN General Assembly

115. The Czechoslovakia Government, in its desire to increase international co-operation within the United Nations too, is inviting the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation to hold a session at Prague. 116. Czechoslovakia will in the future do all ill its power to ensure that the dilemma — peaceful coexistence or atomic war — is settled for good as soon as possible in favour of peaceful coexistence. 117. At the present time when there is a growing tendency in international affairs to settle problems by means of negotiation, it is essential in the United Nations also that we should remove the traces, of the "cold war" and win full acceptance for the principles of peaceful co-operation. The goals for which the United Nations was set up have not yet been attained. If the United Nations is to justify the great hopes of the peoples, it must consistently fulfil its mission of maintaining peace and international security.
