UN General Assembly
1986

On this subject, I should like to submit the following for the consideration of the majority that in the Assembly has made the adoption of such resolutions possible. The tenth special session, devoted to disarmament, adopted by consensus a Final Document containing a Declaration and Program of Action which established the basis of international disarmament aimed at general and complete disarmament under effective international control. While recognizing the difficulties and complexities of the negotiations and the legitimate concerns of the principal actors in this process, in truth the arms race continues on its course. To express our frustration arising .from our continued concern, we need at most two resolutions^ one to express our frustration, and the second to renew our appeal to the super-Powers. Not being participants in the arms race, let us not be participants in a "resolution race". Let us channel the limited resources of our Organization towards more productive aims, such as support for non-governmental organizations, which perform an active role in the mobilization of world public opinion, or support for research institutions in the disarmament area.
