UN General Assembly
1962

56. One of the great problems which have confronted mankind since the end of the Second World War and which still confronts it is that of disarmament. The views of the Republic of Guinea on this problem have been explained before this Assembly on a number of occasions. We should like, however, to restate something that we have never ceased to affirm, namely, that the problem of disarmament as such is only one aspect and one condition of universal peace. The armaments race is but the manifestation of a situation resulting from the deterioration of relations between the great Powers, solidly entrenched in their ideological conflict.
