86. The security of nations demands the cessation of the armaments race, which has increased world tension and the threat of a new war. In the light of the remarkable prospects opening up before mankind as a result of recent discoveries in science and technology, the absurdity of nuclear armaments and the need to do everything possible to save the world for all time from the danger of a devastating war have become more evident than ever. 87. No progress has been made in the disarmament negotiations during the past fourteen years. Consequently, the dangerous world situation demands of us that we concentrate our efforts on seeking a new approach to the disarmament question.
