UN General Assembly
1970

62. For several years, and especially during the negotiations which culminated in the approval of the nonproliferation Treaty, Mexico has insisted on the necessity of not forgetting the goal set in 1959, namely, general and complete disarmament under effective international control, which the General Assembly then called "the most important question now before the world". 63. Consistent with this position of Mexico, we participated in the elaboration and negotiation of a draft comprehensive program of disarmament, which the representative of Mexico had the privilege of submitting on behalf of the three cosponsoring delegations Mexico, Sweden and Yugoslavia on 27 August last. 64. We are convinced that the approval of this comprehensive program by the Assembly at the present session would deserve to occupy an outstanding place among the various acts by which the United Nations intends to commemorate its twenty-fifth anniversary.
