The members of the Organization of African Unity solemnly declared their readiness to undertake in an international treaty, to be concluded under the auspices of the United Nations, not to manufacture of acquire control of nuclear weapons. The independent African countries further called upon all other peace-loving nations to adhere to this undertaking. Moreover, the Assembly of the Organization of African Unity invited the General Assembly of the United Nations, at its nineteenth session, to approve that declaration and take the necessary measures to convene an international conference with a view to concluding an international treaty to this effect. This proposal was endorsed and supported by the Second Conference of the Heads of State or Government of Non-Aligned Countries.
