UN General Assembly
1971

180. We have given our firm support to the initiatives in the United Nations on the problems relating to the natural environment. We consider that the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, to be held at Stockholm in 1972, would be a useful forum for making a concerted attack on these problems. Trinidad and Tobago has already taken initiatives to institute new measures for the protection of the natural environment and the control of marine and air pollution. We are certain that the United Nations, in this new field of international endeavor, will take due account of the special needs and interests of developing countries.
