UN General Assembly

91. A burning problem of our time is posed by conflicts which complicate detente and, if they were to worsen further, would gravely jeopardize that process. They are rightly described as hotbeds of tension. 92. Although all these conflicts differ from each other, they have a common denominator. It is not only a question of disputed borders, or borders which some consider to be unjust, but also of that quest for oil, copper, cobalt, uranium and other raw materials, that greed for cheap labour that brings fabulous profits to the transnational corporations. It is also a question of the endeavour to hinder the process of the internal polarization of forces, to preserve or maintain the last colonial territories, and of the ominous efforts to turn some developing countries into strongholds or spring-boards for the struggle against the national liberation movements.
