UN General Assembly
1967

118. On the question of disarmament, there seems to be general agreement that in the last twelve months a considerable advance has been achieved with regard to the proposed measures against the proliferation of nuclear weapons. In effect, we have progressed from academic discussions of principle to the consideration of a specific text. What is more, that text is the result of negotiations between Moscow and Washington which have led the USSR and the United States of America to submit two identical though incomplete texts to the Conference of the Eighteen-Nation Committee on Disarmament at Geneva. At this point, I should like to repeat most firmly and most emphatically that the Italian Government is resolutely opposed to the dissemination of nuclear weapons in any form.
