UN General Assembly
1961

11. As a real and positive contribution to the fulfilment of this fervent hope of men throughout the world, my country will support any honest attempt to eliminate the possibility of war through agreements for general, complete, real and effective disarmament and, above all, for the banning of nuclear and all other weapons of mass destruction. 12. My delegation therefore insists, as it has done on many other occasions, that the great conquests of science in the control and exploitation of nuclear energy should be used only for the constant advancement of the well-being of the community of nations. The peaceful application of these achievements of the human intellect opens up such promising prospects for progress that to go in the opposite direction, towards the abyss of the most horrible war ever imagined, would be to deny the higher destiny of mankind.
