UN General Assembly
1966

31. In mentioning the need for the United Nations to establish a suitable peace-keeping machinery, we are no less concerned with another imperative duty of the Organization, that of attaining world disarmament. 32. It is becoming established practice for speakers at this rostrum to discuss disarmament and express hopes for its attainment. The General Assembly has been dealing with the problem for over 20 years. The broad scope of the issue and the significant advantages mankind would derive from the conclusion of as comprehensive an agreement on disarmament as possible are such that no delay or obstacle whatsoever should discourage us.
