UN General Assembly
1993

wishes to reiterate the need to establish a legal system to resolve environmental disputes through codification of international environmental law, in the spirit of the resolution adopted at the Rio Summit in 1992. Finding a way to force States to accept responsibility for non-compliance with the rules for protection of the environment continues to be the basis for a fair relationship between the industrialized countries and the developing countries. Such are the main issues of concern to Uruguay. In the framework of all the ambivalence, all the areas of light and shadow in the international arena, we are taking part in this session of the General Assembly - as we have done since the foundation of the United Nations - in the hope that deeds will be shown to be more eloquent than words.
