  1. Our deep belief in the enlightened principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations will always motivate our actions and guide our participation in setting up a just international order based on equality between States and directed towards furthering the noble cause of human progress to new vast horizons ensuring goodness and plenty for all peoples.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  2. It has directed special attention to external aid, and has made generous contributions to alleviate the stress of economic difficulties which afflict developing countries as a direct consequence of the severe imbalance in the international economic structure and the monetary inflation which has been exported to those countries by the industrialized developed countries. 178. In the future, we will continue to offer our assistance within our limited resources as a developing country to other third-world countries. 179.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  3. In addition, we hold the view that economic co-operation among developing countries could ensure the establishment of the new international economic order, the Mexico Conference having examined the various necessary methods and alternative measures to realize the principle of self-reliance, which stems from self-confidence on the part of developing countries. 177. My country, a small, developing and newly independent nation, believes in the principles of non-alignment and peaceful co-operation among States.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  4. It is also our view that the plan of the developing countries which produce raw materials and commodities in undertaking fresh initiatives based on the principles approved by the Conference of Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Non-Aligned Countries, held in Lima in 1975, in the implementation of the Lima Program for Mutual Assistance and Solidarity should receive encouragement. Here, reference should be made to the relevance of the Manila Declaration to the definition of the economic philosophy of the developing countries, which we further believe should serve as the basis for a new international economic order that requires the removal of exploitative methods from the fields of trade, industry, finance and technology. 176.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  5. We welcome the Economic Declaration and the Program of Action on Economic Co-operation, approved by the Fifth Conference of Heads of State or Government of Non-Aligned Countries [see A/31/197, annexes II and III], and we also consider that international recognition of the principles contained in the documents of that Conference provide a sound program on the global level, and constitute a worthy contribution to the efforts being made to realize justice in the new international economic relations. 175.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  6. We are deeply concerned that there still exists strong resistance on the part of developed countries to the implementation of the resolutions on the Declaration and Program of Action on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order [resolutions 3201 (S-VI)and 3202 (S-VI)], and to the resolution adopted by the General Assembly at its twenty-ninth session on the. Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States [resolution 3281 (XXIX)]. We are aware, moreover, that no significant progress has been achieved at the Paris Conference on International Economic Co-operation. 558 173. We also regret the failure of the fourth session of UNCTAD to realize the aspirations of developing countries which were voiced in the Manila Declaration and the resolutions adopted by the General Assembly in its sixth and seventh special sessions. 174.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  7. The United Arab Emirates attaches great importance to this matter, and earnestly hopes that the Conference will succeed at its next session in working out rules for the authority and for a just regime for the exploitation of the resources of the sea-bed for the sake of mankind as a whole. We honestly believe that the attainment of a solution to this problem would be one of the greatest achievements of our Organization since its establishment. 171. Much as we may feel proud of the achievements made in the field of political liberation, we are still concerned at the lack of parallel progress in the economic domain. The third world continues to suffer from poverty and deprivation, and the deep gap between developed industrialized countries and developing countries continues to grow wider. 172.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  8. In spite of the fact that there is some agreement on certain significant points in the law of the sea, such as the definition of the 12-mile limit of territorial waters; the sovereignty of the coastal State over its resources, the definition of the 200-nautical-mile economic, zone, the freedom of navigation through straits connecting two high seas, and rules to prevent marine pollution, the very important matter of the exploitation of the sea-bed beyond territorial waters as the common heritage of mankind is still subject to sharp differences, and no concrete progress has been made at the last session in this regard. 170.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  9. We sincerely work for the consolidation of co-operation among the Gulf States, and we spare no effort for the realization of security and stability in our region. We have continuously called for the peaceful solution of any differences that may arise among States in our region without any foreign intervention. In this respect, we proceed from our belief in the need to keep the Gulf region far removed from super-Power rivalries. 169. The delegation of the United Arab Emirates has noted with regret that the fifth session of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea has failed to make any substantial .progress.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  10. The United Nations has made serious efforts to find a solution to the question of Cyprus, thanks to the endeavors of Mr. Kurt Waldheim, in particular his personal efforts in this respect. We appreciate those efforts and request our Secretary-General not to halt his endeavors. The bitter fact, nevertheless, is that Cyrpus should still have to wait for a just solution of the problem, a solution that will take into consideration the interests of the Turkish and Greek communities and maintain the independence and territorial integrity of the island. 168. The United Arab Emirates has supported, since its inception, the United Nations resolution declaring the Indian Ocean as a zone of peace [resolution 2832 (XXVI)]. We further endorse all measures and steps designed to give- effect to this declaration and ensure that it is respected.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  11. Today, we notice with satisfaction the increasing isolation imposed by the international community on the two racist regimes in South Africa and Rhodesia, and the growing activities of the African liberation movements in their struggle to regain the dignity of their peoples and their sovereignty over their national soil. 166. We hope that all the efforts for-the attainment of a peaceful settlement of this grave situation, which poses a threat to Africa's security and integrity and could consequently endanger international peace and security, will be crowned with success. However, and in the absence of such settlement, we can only extend moral and material aid to the African liberation movements to enable them to achieve their noble objectives of liberation and independence. 167.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  12. The unholy alliance and the co-operation between South Africa and Israel emanate from the very tenets on. which their respective regimes are. founded, tenets which discriminate among men, by. denying the rights of the original citizen to his own country, while bestowing those rights on aliens. 165. We are following with great interest the developments in South Africa, Rhodesia and Namibia. Our Government, since its accession to membership in the United Nations, has manifested its extreme concern at the seriousness of the continued white minority regimes in those African territories. We have strongly condemned the policy of apartheid practiced by the South African Government, because this policy constitutes a challenge of the most fundamental human ideals and rights and a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  13. We had stated in the Security Council that, despite our reservations on some of those recommendations, we considered them positive on the whole and an initial step towards the achievement of the principles and purposes of the Charter, inasmuch as the latter relate to the Palestinian people. 163. We may therefore expect the General Assembly to take effective measures at this session for the implementation of those recommendations. 164. The recent events that have demonstrated the development of full collaboration and co-ordination between the Governments of Israel and South Africa in the various political, military and economic fields, have upheld the- validity of our case in condemning Zionism, the basis of the existence of Israel, as racism.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  14. Proceeding from this fact, it is our view that the resolution adopted by the General Assembly at its last session to form a Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People [resolution 3376 (XXX)], and the recommendations of that Committee [see A/31 /35], which we support and uphold, could not lead to any desired good unless they were followed by positive and effective measures for their implementation. 161. In this connexion, we regret the attitude of some States towards those recommendations, when they were brought up for consideration of the Security Council. We further condemn Israel for its refusal to comply with those recommendations. 162.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  15. We further express our thanks and gratitude to the United Nations for the resolutions, adopted under those and other items, which reaffirmed the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, to return to their land, and to exercise their national sovereignty, which condemned Israel for its inhuman practices against the Palestinian people, stressing the imperative need for its withdrawal from all occupied Arab territories, and which condemned Zionism, the corner-stone of the Israeli entity, as a racist movement [resolution 3379 (XXX]. 159. The value inherent in any resolution adopted by this international Organization is not confined to its human and moral implications, but includes also the steps that may be taken for its implementation. 160.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  16. In this respect, we are fully aware of the decisions taken by the United Nations in including the question of Palestine as a separate item in the agenda of the General Assembly and in inviting the Palestine liberation Organization to participate in the deliberations of the General Assembly on that question [resolution 3210 (XXIX)]. 157. We also acknowledge the continued United Nations consideration of the Palestine question in substance and in some of its implications under four items included in the General Assembly's agenda. 158.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  17. While expressing our thanks and gratitude to the world community for adopting resolutions designed to ensure the right of peoples under alien domination to self-determination, the results of which are evidenced in the movement of the United Nations towards the realization of the universality of its membership and the steps that have been taken, and will be taken, to liberate the peoples of southern Africa from colonialism, foreign occupation and racial discrimination, we find ourselves overwhelmed with feelings of dismay and disappointment at the fact that the people of Palestine have not been allowed to join this great historical march. 156.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  18. It may even be said that the continuation of these challenges without radical solutions has led to the eruption of new serious situations, as we see in the Middle East and Africa. Thus, we see that the arrogance of Israel and its non-compliance with United Nations resolutions pertaining to the Palestinian problem and the Middle East question have led to persistent and unceasing tension in that region. 154. Likewise, the continuation of the white minority regimes in Rhodesia and South Africa has been conducive to the detonation of a war that may engulf the whole of Africa in a sea of blood-Africa, which most urgently needs peace and stability in order to rebuild itself and its economy after long, bleak decades of poverty and backwardness. 155.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  19. We in the United Arab Emirates have received with sorrow and sadness the news of the death of Chairman Mao Tsetung. To the great people of China and their Government, we express our deepest condolences. 152. The maintenance of international peace and security is the most important objective for which the United Nations was established. In our statement to the General Assembly last year, we pointed out that our Organization is facing grave problems and challenges; and we considered the continuation of these problems and challenges without a radical solution to be a matter endangering international security. 153. These problems and challenges still loom in the foreground at this thirty-first session.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  20. My delegation would like to extend its congratulations to the Republic of Seychelles on its admission to membership in our world Organization. We wish this country success in its new vocation, and we are fully prepared to co-operate with it in the interests of both our countries and for the sake of mankind at large. 150. I should like also to join my colleagues who preceded me in expressing the earnest hope that the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, as well as the People's Republic of Angola, will be admitted in the near future as Members of our Organization. We proceed in this context from our faith in the principle of the universality of the United Nations and the imperative need for it to be representative of all peoples and countries of the world, irrespective of their political or economic system. 151.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  21. In addition, our country has been honored by a visit from Mr. Amerasinghe early this year, a visit which has promoted further the links of friendship and co-operation between our two countries. 147. Allow me also, to extend, on behalf of my delegation, our most sincere thanks to Mr. Amerasinghe's predecessor, Mr. Gaston Thorn, Prime Minister of Luxembourg, who ably and efficiently presided over the last session. 148. The Government of my country also wishes to express its deepest appreciation of the sincere efforts that have been, and are still being, exerted by Mr. Kurt Waldheim, Secretary-General of our Organization, to increase the effectiveness of the United Nations and to, strengthen its role in the maintenance of international peace and security. 149.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  22. Allow me, first of all, to extend my delegation's congratulations to Mr. Hamilton Shirley Amerasinghe on his election as President of the General Assembly at its thirty-first session. We were pleased and satisfied at his election to this high office, knowing the efficiency, flexibility and devotion with which he pursues the noble objectives of the United Nations. It is also a recognition of the constructive role played by his country in the cause of justice, freedom and liberty in the world. An eloquent example was the success of the Conference of Heads of State or Government of Non-Aligned Countries held in his friendly country last summer . His presidency of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea has been, and will continue to be, an object of our admiration and appreciation.

    1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)

  23. It gives us great pleasure to serve as host for the next round of the Arab-European dialog, to be held in November of this year, to further explore areas of co-operation between the two regional groupings. We shall do our utmost for the participants and for the success of the meeting. 32. Despite the complexity of the problems of our contemporary world, the successes achieved by mankind in the context of the United Nations during the last three decades strengthen our hope and increase our optimism about the future of co-operation and friendship among nations. My country pledges itself to fulfill sincerely the objectives of the Charter.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  24. In real terms, however, when the vast needs of our people for education, hospital facilities, urban development and culture are taken into account, the ratio of our aid to our gross national product greatly outweighs the significance of these numbers in absolute terms. 30. We also support the positive results achieved by the seventh special session, which we consider as a first step on the road towards full equality in economic relations among States. Though the decisions adopted at that session do not fully meet all the demands presented by the developing countries, we consider readiness to implement them as the yardstick for measuring the good intentions of the developed nations. 31. We are looking forward with great expectation and optimism to the next meeting, to be held in Paris, on energy, raw materials and development.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  25. My country, a faithful adherent to the principles of the non-aligned movement and a partisan of peaceful international co-operation, has generously contributed to alleviating the suffering of developing countries and to supporting their efforts to advance their peoples and to develop their economies. Immediately after the restructuring of oil prices and the availability of an apparent surplus, my country decided to allocate a large portion of our earnings from our only natural resource, oil, to the support of developing countries, despite a weak and newly created administrative apparatus. In purely numerical terms, our aid has amounted to over a quarter of our gross national product.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  26. In their endeavour to establish a more equitable and logical world order that properly reflects their real needs, the countries of the third world have refused to join blocs or alliances, and instead have searched for means of co-operation among themselves, as well as with the other States of the world, based on the respect for sovereignty, democracy in international relations, and the struggle against aggression, colonialism and exploitation in all its forms. 28. In the economic field, these States called for the establishment of a new economic order, one that is more equitable and closer to meeting the needs ot development and improving the living standards ot the majority of the human race. The Lima resolutions embodied in their provisions the gamut of this historical experience. 29.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  27. As a consequence of centuries of colonialism, the peoples of the third world, after achieving political independence, have found themselves in a situation of backwardness and are engulfed in an international economic order which does not correspond to their aspirations for advancement and their goals for development. 27. The individual experience of each people, and the similarity of the problems confronting all developing countries, have led the peoples and the Governments of these countries to search for new avenues in international relations.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  28. This session comes after the successful conclusion of the deliberations of the seventh special session of the General Assembly and in the wake of the adoption of the resolutions of the Conference of Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Non-Aligned countries, held at Lima in August. The resolutions adopted at Lima reflect the new spirit of change which is beginning to find its way into the arena of international relations. The old concepts, based on discrimination among the peoples of the world and on inequality in their relations, have been shaken to their roots.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  29. The wise steps taken by the two super-Powers to bring an end to their accelerating arms race are well received and supported by us. It is indeed deplorable that this international trend towards the protection of mankind from the scourges of the modern war machine does not find a similar response among the rulers of Israel. 25. The recent press reports on the pending acquisition by Israel of highly sophisticated weapons of great destructive capability, to be added to its arsenal, are of great concern to us. Indeed, further aggrandizement of Israel's oversaturated arsenal by such lethal weapons would cause apprehension and alarm in all parts of the Arab world. Needless to say, the supplying of the Israeli war machine with such weapons could only lead to the threatening of international peace and security. 26.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  30. My Government has also supported the United Nations resolutions regarding the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the region of the Middle East. We believe that the best method for the establishment of such a zone is for all parties concerned to accede to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons [resolution 2373 (XXII), annex]. 23. As regards the situation in Indo-China, we warmly welcome the restoration of peace in that region. We wish the peoples of Indo-China every success in their efforts to rebuild what the war destroyed and to develop their national economies. 24. On the international level, we support the efforts aiming at the easing of tensions among the big Powers. My country considers the results achieved at the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, held in Helsinki, as positive and useful.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  31. We also wish to reiterate our support for the Declaration of the Indian Ocean as a Zone of Peace [resolution 2832 (XXVI)]. It is of the utmost importance that this zone, of which we are a part, be free from big Power rivalries. Our goal is to see the Indian Ocean a zone where constructive and co-operative relations exist among its States, based on equality of rights and duties and free from interference by any State in the internal affairs of another. The States of this zone need to mobilize their resources and energies for the development of their national economies and to secure basic necessities which constitute the prerequisites for emerging from the economic and social backwardness from which they suffer. 22.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  32. We appreciate the sincere efforts made by the Secretary-General to mediate between the two communities with a view to reconciling their differences. We attach great importance to the maintenance of peace and security on the island. This feeling is not only due to its geographical proximity to our Arab region, but also because of the historical, humanitarian and cultural bonds which we share with the parties to the dispute both Greeks and Turks. 20. As a small developing country, we are deeply concerned with the maintenance of peace and security in our region. Thus, my country warmly welcomed the settlement of disputes between our two neighbors, Iraq and Iran. We congratulate them on this achieve-ment. We also hope that all pending disputes in the Gulf region will be resolved in a constructive spirit of co-operation. 21.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  33. In the absence of such a settlement, we cannot but support materially and morally the African liberation movements that lead the struggle of their peoples to win back their dignity and to achieve their noble goals of freedom and independence. 18. As regards Western Sahara, we hope that Spain our friend will respect the resolution of the General Assembly which provided that no action be taken with regard to that territory until the handing down of the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice [resolution 3292 (XXIX)]. 19. One of the international problems awaiting urgent settlement is the question of Cyprus. We support the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  34. Once again, we reiterate our view that the continuing application of the policy of apartheid by the racist Government of Pretoria against the non- white majority of the population in South Africa is immoral, contravenes the principles of justice and equity, constitutes a defiance to human conscience and values, and violates the Charter of the United Nations. 16. Our delegation participated in the Security Council's recent discussion of the questions of South Africa and Namibia. Our participation was motivated by our great concern and deep conviction that the perpetration of such inhuman and illegal situations in those two countries threatens peace and security in Africa, and consequently endangers international peace and security. 17. We, like our brothers in Africa, sincerely hope for a peaceful settlement of this problem.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  35. Hence, it is imperative that the General Assembly at this session should adopt resolutions that go beyond mere reiterated support of the rights of the Palestinian people, and the urging of Israel to implement United Nations resolutions. We should adopt resolutions which include both an unequivocal order to Israel to implement the resolutions, and in case Israel persists in its policy of refusal and defiance, a clear reference to the implementation of the sanctions laid down in Chapter VII of the Charter. 15. Among the questions that concern us and cause us anxiety is the question of the continuous rule by the racial minority in South Africa, Rhodesia and Namibia.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  36. The proper response by the international community to such defiance of the international will would be in line with the recommendations recently adopted by a great number of States, members of the family of nations, at the Conference of Islamic Foreign Ministers, the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African Unity [OA U] and the Conference of Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the Non-Aligned Countries. 14. In view of Israel's persistent defiance, the three Conferences recommended measures for forcing Israel to implement the relevant United Nations resolutions, including the application of sanctions as laid down in Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  37. Nothing could more starkly illustrate this policy of Israel than the continuous threat to which the Islamic and holy places in Jerusalem and Al-Khalil ("Hebron") are subjected. 13. In order to preserve its values and to prevent the deterioration of the present situation which is fraught with imminent dangers to world peace and security, the international community should not tolerate Israeli disregard and defiance of the United Nations resolutions.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  38. One year has already elapsed since the adoption of the resolution on the rights of the people of Palestine. Yet Israel has not taken any steps whatsoever to facilitate the return of the Palestinians to their lands and properties. Rather, it continues to deny the very existence of the Palestinians as a people, and stubbornly refuses to recognize the right of the Palestinians to enjoy their inalienable rights, including the right to self-determination. It persists, not only in the usurpation of that people's material possessions, but also in deliberately attacking their spiritual and cultural heritage, by abolishing the religious and cultural monuments in Palestine created by the Palestinian people over a long period of history.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  39. The inclusion of the question as a separate item on its agenda, and the adoption of the two resolutions, one emphasizing the inalienable rights of the people of Palestine, including the right of return and the right of self- determination [resolution 3236 (XXIX)], and the other granting the Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] observer status to the United Nations and other international organizations [resolution 3237 (XXIX)], were of great historical significance. The inclusion of the item and the adoption of the two resolutions reflected the achievements of the people of Palestine in their arduous struggle. Furthermore, it symbolized the support given by the Arab States, the countries of the third world and other freedom-loving countries to the Palestinian people in their struggle for justice and liberation. 12.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  40. We are confident that the admission of these States will add to the vitality and universality of our Organization. We are prepared to co-operate in all spheres with these States for the mutual benefit of our peoples and the world at large. 10. As did the twenty-ninth session, our present session faces problems and challenges of serious dimensions. The peoples of the world look to our Organization with high expectations for the solution to these problems and for the complete elimination of the causes of war and total destruction. 11. Needless to say, the question of Palestine is one of the most important and urgent problems that requires serious and immediate consideration. We noted with satisfaction the positive way the previous session dealt with this question.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  41. Kurt Waldheim, for his tireless efforts aimed at strengthening the United Nations and furthering its role in the maintenance of international peace and security. His visit last February to our country and other Gulf countries was most successful. He was able to see closely the efforts of our Government in promoting economic and social development. His visit provided us with the opportunity to discuss with him all matters pertaining to the strengthening of the United Nations and the enhancement of its role in the solution of international problems. 9. It gives me great pleasure to extend our warmest congratulations to the new Members of our Organization, namely, the People's Republic of Mozambique, the Republic of Cape Verde, and the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe.

    1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)

  42. 6. Mr. President, on behalf of the delegation of the United Arab Emirates, I would, like to express to you our sincere congratulations on your election to this highly esteemed office, the presidency of the thirtieth session of the General Assembly. We highly appreciate your well-known competence and long diplomatic experience, and we are confident that the work of the General Assembly will fully succeed under your wise chairmanship. 7. I would like to seize this opportunity to extend our congratulations to Mr. Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Algeria, for his wise and successful leadership of the last session. 8. We would like also to express our thanks to the Secretary-General, Mr.
