UN General Assembly

Gabon reaffirms that prevention is a more than essential tool that must be at the centre of our actions if we want strengthened and lasting peace. The international community’s prevention efforts to date have been slow, poorly adapted and poorly funded. Indeed, the absence of adequate resources allocated to the actions of our Organization in favour of prevention and peace-building has. unfortunately, strongly contributed either to the resurgence of crises in periods of transition or to the emergence of new conflicts. Our generation has a responsibility to future generations — that of bequeathing them a more secure world; a world in which the threats to peace and security linked to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction are contained; a world without the nuclear threat.
