UN General Assembly
1971

We are, therefore, gratified that the French Government has now seen fit to call a halt to these tests, We are confident that France, which has in so many ways demonstrated its concern for the less privileged nations, will be sufficiently sensitive to the feelings which the tests have aroused that it will make this halt permanent and final. At a time when problems of pollution and environmental management are increasingly occupying the attention of the world, and when the vast majority of States have subscribed to the partial test-ban treaty of 1963, we are sure that the Members of this Assembly will not wish to «fve our confidence misplaced.
