UN General Assembly
1964

120. I have not yet referred to what constitutes, in this nuclear age, the sine qua non of the existence of an international community: peace and such measures as may ensure or lead to peace. 121. Clearly, we small and unarmed countries can say little on the subject of disarmament except to reaffirm, in our speeches and by our votes, the support we have consistently given to every resolution which sought such lofty objectives. I do not need to repeat that Uruguay has always voted in favour of resolutions on disarmament, as it voted in favour of the resolutions on the suspension, cessation and dissemination of nuclear tests and weapons; that it sponsored and vigorously defended the creation of a denuclearized zone in Latin America and that it is prepared to support, with equal sincerity, any effort in this direction during the present session.
