UN General Assembly
1984

201. The Financial Times of 18 November 1983 reported that "an invasion psychosis had taken over the Nicaraguan nation" and that "the Sandinist leaders were preparing the population for what they considered to be an imminent invasion by the United States and its Central American allies". 202. Once again, on 3 February 1984, the representative of Nicaragua stated in the Security Council13 that a war between Honduras and Nicaragua was being provoked by the United States to justify intervention. 203. Then again, on 2 April 1984 in the Security Council, the representative of Nicaragua stated that in the next few days another invasion was expected from Honduran territory.14 Months later, on 7 September, he stated again that the political terrain for the invasion was being prepared.15 204. It is because of all these unfounded assertions that it comes as no surprise to me that once again an attempt has been made to take advantage of the credulity of States represented here with a paranoic statement of a much announced but never realized invasion of Nicaragua.
