UN General Assembly

111. The continuing arms race, for which the imperialist forces are to blame, is completely contrary to the vital needs of mankind. 112. We must note with regret that the efforts of the peace-loving countries to break the deadlock in the disarmament negotiations are continuing to meet with opposition from States whose ruling circles hold the criminal belief that the continuation and even expansion of the arms race is advantageous, in the expectation of making immense profits and counting on one day being able to achieve military supremacy and to control the world. It is the fault of these forces that for more than three years the Committee on Disarmament in Geneva has been unable to draw up an agreed disarmament programme or even a programme of partial measures aimed at curtailing the arms race, restoring the general international situation to normal, strengthening world security and creating the best conditions for achieving the desired goal, namely, general and complete disarmament under strict international control.
