168. A very heavy responsibility rests with the two super-Powers. The plans for an agreement regarding limitations on nuclear missiles, plans which were coming to fruition before the Czechoslovak crisis, must be pursued. A complete test-ban treaty must be hammered out and the countries which continue to test nuclear weapons must be persuaded to stop doing so. We have a right to expect the super-Powers to give, without delay, concrete evidence of their declared intentions to take further steps on the road to nuclear disarmament. 169. Besides the problems of nuclear weapons, the threatening spectre of the development of biological and chemical weapons has been given increasing attention in the last few years. It is our hope that the studies initiated in this field will soon result in international agreements. Only by such means will it be possible to prevent the catastrophes which may follow if the development of those weapons is allowed to continue unchecked.
