UN General Assembly
1961

99. As long as agreement on a comprehensive disarmament plan has not been achieved among the most important military Powers, the smaller States have a responsibility of their own to consider in what way they might promote the common cause. During the fifteenth General Assembly Denmark declared itself ready to consider opening the territory of Greenland for inspection as part of a multilaterally balanced inspection arrangement. This offer still stands. We feel that an international team carrying out inspection of limited areas on a reciprocal basis would have favourable opportunities of gaining practical experience which would be of value in the planning of a more comprehensive inspection system. And let me add in this connexion that Denmark would be ready, within the range of our possibilities, to make available technical, scientific and military equipment and personnel for the implementation of any programme that may be mutually accepted as a suitable partial disarmament measure. 100. I wish to conclude my remarks on disarmament with a few observations on the question of the testing of nuclear weapons.
