UN General Assembly
1961

42. Once the composition of a negotiating body has been decided, the Assembly should recommend that negotiations begin at the earliest possible date, on the basis of the principles agreed by the United States and the Soviet Union and on the basis 3f the plans which have been put forward by both sides. The negotiating body, with its broadened representation, should have a close and elective relationship with the United Nations, because general disarmament must eventually apply to ail nations without exception. I think that it is important that the United Nations should be kept in this picture, in the disarmament negotiations.
