18. Yet how can one speak optimistically of disarmament when it has not even proved possible to arrange for the discontinuance of nuclear tests? On this point also, our position is clear. We condemn all nuclear tests, whoever conducts them. Last year much was said0 about the denuclearization of Africa. Of course, we welcome any proposal aimed at limiting the nuclear testing zones in the world. But that is not the fundamental problem, Africans will net be protected by the mere fact of a decision that Africa should be a nuclear-free zone. The problem must be dealt with as a whole. The only resolution to which we could agree would be one condemning nuclear tests not only in Africa but also in Asia and any other part of the world.
