96. As for the question of nuclear tests, the United Arab Republic believes that we have reached the point where appropriate measures should be undertaken in regard to the cessation of underground nuclear tests, The neutral countries in the Eighteen-Nation Disarmament Conference in Geneva exerted considerable efforts with a view to reaching an agreed common basis. In this respect, I should like to refer to the suggestions submitted to the Conference at its 224th meeting on 17 August last by the delegation of the United Arab Republic, We trust that those suggestions will receive due consideration during this session; for we believe that without the cessation of underground nuclear tests the Moscow Treaty will remain an unfinished endeavour.
