UN General Assembly
1962

166. Disarmament would indeed by a double achievement, for not only would it reduce and eventually remove a terrible menace for us all, but it would enable vast resources to be diverted from military purposes toward peaceful ends. We are greatly encouraged by the Acting Secretary-General's report of the Economic and Social Consequences of Disarmament based on the findings of the Consultative Group which was established on the initiative of this Assembly under resolution 1516 (XV). The unanimous conclusion of the group that disarmament would be an unqualified blessing to mankind has our whole-hearted support.
