UN General Assembly

contribution to the life of the international community. For some years, the question of the proliferation of nuclear weapons, which pose an enormous threat, 15 09-52463 has divided the international community. I thank and encourage President Obama for his successful organization and leadership of the Security Council summit on disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation. The commitments made could lead to a denuclearized world that is more ambitious in its exploitation of nuclear power for civil purposes and more vigilant in policing illicit trafficking in nuclear materials. The reform of the United Nations, which has been on our agenda for more than a decade, calls for a cautious but determined approach, particular as regards the Security Council. I express the hope that negotiations will soon be undertaken regarding the fair and equitable representation of all regions of the world, the strengthening of the effectiveness of the Council’s role and the revitalization of the General Assembly. True to the ideals of the United Nations, Burkina Faso will make its contribution to the various issues and actions under way to endow our global Organization
