UN General Assembly
1967

49. Although my country is in no sense a military Power, I could not refrain from some reference to the crucial problems of disarmament and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. We have followed with interest bordering on anxiety the negotiations at the Conference of the Eighteen-Nation Committee on Disarmament at Geneva. We welcome the submission by the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of identical draft texts of a treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. But there is still much work to he done. We are, frankly, deeply concerned by the failure so far of the nuclear Powers to offer to the non-nuclear-weapon States satisfactory guarantees against nuclear attack or threat of attack. Our concern was also reflected in Jamaica's co-sponsorship of resolution 2153 B (XXI) at the twenty-first session of the General Assembly, convening a conference of non-nuclear-weapon States.
