UN General Assembly
1959

58. Extending its 1957 initiative, the Romanian Government proposed in June of this year, the conclusion of a Balkan treaty of understanding and collective security. Such a treaty would include appropriate provisions for the establishment of a permanent framework for manifold co-operation and the development of good-neighbourly relations among Balkan States. By this treaty, the Balkan States would agree to solve peacefully any differences among them, not to resort to aggression or to war-threats in their mutual relations, not to allow on their territory the storing of atomic or nuclear weapons, nor the maintenance of military units belonging to States outside the Balkan region supplied with such weapons. Establishment of launching pads for rockets and guided missiles should be barred.
