UN General Assembly
1967

163. While we rejoice at the recommendation by the General Assembly to Member States to sign the Treaty on the peaceful uses of outer space, my delegation considers that this treaty and the one concluded in 1963, on the partial prohibition of nuclear weapon tests, should not slow down the efforts of the Organization and the Geneva negotiations to achieve more positive results in respect of general disarmament. Non-utilization and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is no real safeguard. In my delegation's opinion, only the destruction of the weapons would furnish a real prospect of international peace and security.
