UN General Assembly
1967

17. To conclude our consideration of the political items, Guatemala would sin by omission if it did not express its continuing concern regarding the problems of world-wide disarmament and denuclearization; it intends to make its modest intellectual and political contribution when these problems are discussed in the First Committee. We pay a heartfelt tribute of admiration to Mexico and Latin America for the Treaty of Tlatelolco, signed at Mexico City on 14 February 1967, which prohibits nuclear weapons in our region. We hope that the nuclear Powers will soon be able to sign the second protocol of the Treaty of Tlatelolco, committing themselves to respect Latin America as a denuclearized zone. May this Treaty serve as an example and stimulate the efforts of certain great Powers, which we view with increasing optimism.
