“The Central African Republic through me expresses its condemnation at the persistence and perpetration of these vile and abject forces which run against the trend of history. 12. The international community as a whole has registered that existing economic international relations cannot be maintained and that the situation of the developing countries has become more and more serious. Nevertheless no substantial progress has been made to speed up.the development and prosperity of these countries. 13. In accordance with the decisions of the sixth and seventh special sessions of the United Nations General Assembly, action to establish a new international economic order was taken and pursued consistently by the developing countries. Proof of this are the conferences held at Manila, Nairobi, Colombo and Mexico.”

“What is more, our disquiet about the human species is evident from the fact that, despite the many accords or negotiations on disarmament, the infernal and terrifying arms race in the most sophisticated and deadly weapons engulfs amounts of energy and capital which could have served to nourish thousands of men, women and children who are dying of hunger throughout the world. This arms race is also spreading to other regions of the world. 10. Major victories have been won, and historical successes achieved in the struggle against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism and all other forms of foreign domination; yet many peoples are still compelled to struggle bitterly for their right to self-determination, independence and freedom. 11.”

“Indeed, while the United Nations has achieved considerable results in consolidating peace and security through-out the world, while it has gained decisive successes in eliminating the colonial system and made important progress in promoting co-operation on a footing of equality among peoples and States, While it has almost attained universality -even though some States have been unjustly prevented from joining it- and while it has made considerable progress in bringing about the relaxation of international tensions, peace and security, unfortunately, are not yet accessible to all peoples. 9.”

“In fact, we are bound to note that the United Nations, despite its successes here and there, has not yet fully shouldered its mission, which is to establish peace, justice and security and to eliminate hunger, disease and illiteracy throughout the world in accordance with the spirit and letter of the San Francisco Charter. 8.”

“Our century might be described as a century of contrast because we have had men living who were the forces of evil incarnate and men whose calling was precisely to destroy the forces of evil, to break the chains of oppression and to spread justice and liberty. Chairman Mao was in the second category and his immense political action has transcended the frontiers of great China and made a major contribution to changing the political geography of the world. The oppressed of the world will be forever grateful to him. 6. A prospective analysis of the present political and economic situation clearly proves that mankind is prey to serious difficulties as regards its survival, difficulties which require concrete and urgent solutions. 7.”

“The Council of the Central African Revolution enthusiastically welcomes the admission of the Republic of Seychelles to the United Nations. This one hundred and forty-fifth State Member of our Organization has joined us because of the determination, dynamism, courage and wisdom of its leaders and has thus attained international sovereignty with peace and dignity. 5. Before going further in my statement, I should first of all wish to bow respectfully before the memory of the most regretted Chairman Mao Tsetung, the great helmsman who, because of his courage, his philosophy based on justice and freedom, has succeeded in the task of creating modern China.”

“Gaston Thorn, Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on the exemplary manner in which he acquitted himself of the most delicate task of presiding over the thirtieth regular session of the General Assembly. 3. I cannot resist the pleasure which I feel in paying a sincere tribute to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr, Kurt Waldheim, for his indefatigable efforts to find, in this troubled world with hotbeds of tension throughout, conciliatory solutions for the maintenance of peace and fruitful co-operation among States. If at times because of the difficulties encountered he was able to offer only palliatives, we must nevertheless be grateful to him because so far, through his remarkable diplomatic skills, he has spared the international community the worst. 4.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“The Central African delegation, which participated at the fifth session of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea, has appreciated the tact, wisdom and authority he evinced in guiding the sometimes stormy debates of that Conference, and we note the great sympathy representatives to this lofty international Conference have displayed towards him. We therefore expected him to be promoted to President of this thirty-first regular session of the General Assembly, an expectation which has been fulfilled. His competence and his qualities as a seasoned diplomat presage that the work of this regular session will be successful. My delegation pledges its sincere co-operation during his present term of office at the head of the United Nations General Assembly. 2. From this lofty rostrum I greet Mr.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“I am greatly honored to transmit to the General Assembly the warm congratulations of His Excellency Jean Bedel Bokassa, the President for Life of the Republic, President for Life of the Movement of Social Evolution of Black Africa, President of the Council of the Central African Revolution and Marshall of the Central African Republic, on its happy choice in electing Mr. Hamilton Shirley Amerasinghe, Ambassador of Sri Lanka, President of the thirty-first regular session of the General Assembly of the United Nations.”

“My delegation therefore wishes to make an urgent appeal to the conscience of mankind to make of the press an objective channel through which may flow a current of opinion favorable to the promotion of development and co-operation. 351. Finally, the burning question of disarmament and security, the difficulties caused by racial discrimination and by the implementation of the Articles of the Charter relating to the countries still under foreign domination, the energy crisis, the monetary disorders, galloping inflation and the deterioration in the terms of exchange all constitute a set of equally important problems which our Organization must tackle in a spirit of consultation, realism and perspicacity.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“During the next decade our Organization, one of whose basic objectives is development, will have an important part to play in giving practical and operational effect to the objectives defined at the two historic and important sessions held in 1974 and 1975. 348. The geographical and structural obstacles to be met with in certain developing States and their socio-political circumstances in many cases constitute hurdles which Governments will have to overcome in their efforts to meet the obligations inherent in the implementation of their development Programs. 349. The press exercises a very pronounced influence on public opinion in the developed countries, and it is often said that it represents a fourth world Power. 350.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“My delegation is firmly convinced that the desperate situation of our brothers of southern Africa will inevitably result in solutions in which the respect and the dignity of man can prevail. The efforts already undertaken in this direction deserve all support and encouragement. 346. The sixth special session of the General Assembly, which dealt with the question of raw materials, and the seventh special session, held a month ago to discuss the important question of international cooperation, have defined the objectives of the creation of a new more just and more humane world economic order. 347.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“It is also fitting to stress that those involved in the negotiations to settle the question of disarmament and of the reduction of tactical and strategic weapons are marking time, because the Powers directly concerned are making insufficient efforts in obedience to their desire to maintain so-called zones of influence which they arrogated to themselves at Yalta. 344. The past decade has been particularly encouraging with regard to decolonization. In the course of it the United Nations has welcomed into its midst a considerable number of countries which were formerly maintained in a state of degrading and abject dependence degrading both to the peoples concerned and to their colonizers themselves. 345.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“In the second half of the twentieth century our planet has so excelled in inventing and constructing an awesome panoply of deadly weapons that the search for conditions conducive to detente and durable peace is now the constant concern of the United Nations. 342. The discussions regarding the grave question of disarmament and security are of interest to the entire international community because in the present situation an armed conflagration would have deadly and unimaginable consequences. 343.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“In this spirit we shall support all efforts to proclaim the United Nations Decade for Women: Equality, Development and Peace in order to strengthen and implement the recommendations and resolutions adopted at Mexico City. 339. Similarly, we consider it most desirable that a substantial special fund be provided for the speedy implementation of the objectives of the Program of the World Plan of Action for the Implementation of the Objectives of the International Women's Year, adopted in June of this year in Mexico. 340. Finally, in order to make possible a periodic evaluation of the situation of women in the world, the General Assembly at this thirtieth session should decide to hold in 1980 the second World Conference of the International Women's Year. 341.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“Inasmuch as our Program of activities in this field must be expanded to cover the entire country, we urgently solicit the technical and financial assistance of such United Nations specialized agencies as the International Labor Organisation, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the United Nations Development Program, and the United Nations International Children's Fund. 338. My delegation deeply appreciates the results of the first World Conference of the International Women's Year, and fully supports the Economic and Social Council resolution 1959 (LIX) concerning the World Conference of the International Women's Year, which will shortly be submitted to this Assembly for approval.”

“A very elaborate system of pre-school education is available to children from three to six years of age, thus freeing the mother to pursue remunerative economic activities, whether in handicrafts or agriculture. Special training schools and community development agents place their experience at the service of the population to help raise their standard of living. 337.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“334 With regard to employment, the only requirements for access to the highest posts are professional qualifications and efficiency, and of course both sexes are assured of equality of pay and opportunity. Thus it is that countless women occupy responsible positions in the public sector: education, the legal profession, customs, health, the labor inspectorate, social security, finance, law enforcement, and so forth. 335. Thus, discrimination on grounds of sex is nonexistent in the Central African Republic. 336. Everything has been done to allow our women to take their full responsibility as workers. We have many centers for the care of mothers and children where nutritional education for the mother supplements the medical care provided for the child.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“In addition to two deaths, hundreds were injured, and some 13,000 people were rendered homeless. 331. These natural disasters which our people must face every year are not conducive to the improvement of their social well-being. Thus we appeal to all friendly countries to help us find lasting solutions to this problem. 332 May I now be allowed to draw up the balance sheet of measures taken for the emancipation of women by our Government under the enlightened guidance of Mr. Jean-Bedel Bokassa. 333 We are very happy and proud to have a woman as Prime Minister and Vice-President of our only political party, MESAN, as well as three other women holding ministerial posts in our present Government.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The United Nations cannot remain indifferent to such realities. That is why it must do all it can to encourage the highly industrialized countries, those which possess advanced modern technology, to share their secrets and place their scientific expertise at the disposal, at little cost, of the underprivileged countries for the sake of a better future for all mankind. 330. As I have said, my country is also suffering from the effects of natural phenomena which hinder our constant efforts to improve our people's standard of living. 1 refer to climatic influences. In this regard, it is my painful duty to report to the Assembly the consequences of the floods which beset Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic, in the second half of August 1975.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“It is my duty to do so as long as more effective methods and strategies have not been developed for the radical elimination of hunger, early mortality, unemployment, illiteracy and the other scourges which afflict the developing countries. 327. In this respect, my country pins its hopes on the objectives of the seventh special session, which has just concluded its work. If I revert again to the new international economic order it is because of the very close correlation between economic and social problems, the latter being nothing more than the fortunate or unfortunate consequences of solutions applied to the former. 328. Anachronistic commercial and industrial systems, together with inherited methods of cultivation, are responsible for the poverty of millions of human beings. 329.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“In order to achieve these objectives the developed countries should considerably increase the 399 volume of their assistance to the developing countries in the field of agriculture and food production. 323. They must facilitate, without reservation, access to their markets of agricultural products, especially food, coming from the developing countries in the form of either processed or unprocessed goods. 324. They must also undertake all other necessary measures of adjustment. 325. Those are the economic views of my delegation which we wanted to submit for the Assembly's consideration. 326. On the social level, is it still necessary to reiterate before this Assembly the manifold and severe problems facing the third world in this sector?”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“My delegation feels it important and urgent to request our Organization to establish an international authority capable of assuming effective control over the exploration and exploitation of the resources of the high seas for the benefit of all. 321. As regards the establishment of a new international economic order, which is a matter of prime concern to us today, the Central African Republic considers that the food problem must be given the greatest attention. In our view it is urgent to increase the volume of food aid to the developing countries, and particularly to those which are subject to floods and droughts. The specific needs of each country must be taken into account. 322.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“In accordance with the Lima Program for Mutual Assistance and Solidarity of August 1975, the international community must assist the land-locked developing countries by facilitating their exercise of the right to free access to the seas. 318. If the principle of freedom of the high seas, as defined by international law, is accepted by all, it is appropriate for the resources of the sea-bed and the ocean floor and the subsoil thereof to be regarded by everybody as the common heritage of mankind. 319. The rational exploitation of those resources is of vital significance for the economic development and promotion of the well-being of all peoples. 320.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The principles that should govern that code are the following: respect for the laws and regulations of the host country; recognition of the right and privilege of the host country to nationalize the companies if such nationalization is considered the best solution for that country to exercise its sovereignty over its natural and other resources; non-interference, of any kind, in the domestic affairs, political or other, of the host country; abolition of unfair commercial practices; and reinvestment in the host country itself of an important part of the profits made. 316. The geographical situation of my country, to which I referred a few moments ago, makes it necessary to interest ourselves at a high level in the problem of the law of the sea. 317.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The measures stressed in the recommendations of the Group of 77 and in the Lima Program for Mutual Assistance and Solidarity concerning foreign investments by the private sector clearly indicate the scope of the pernicious practices of those companies and also show the concern with which the developing countries are viewing this problem. 315. My delegation feels that the working out, the adoption and the speedy implementation of a code of conduct for the transnational companies will make it possible to exercise global surveillance of the operations of those companies.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The international code of conduct for the transfer of technology which was envisaged in the Program of Action on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order [resolution 3202 (S-VI)] should make possible access on easier terms to a modern technology adapted to the needs of the developing countries. 313. As far as the transnational companies are concerned, one must fully recognize that several aspects of their activities very often clash with the strategy and objectives of the development of third-world countries. 314.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“Of course, much technology has already been transferred to developing countries since the end of the Second World War, but those countries were not able to benefit from such transfers for two fundamental reasons: first, the technology transferred is not adapted to the economic realities of the countries involved; and, secondly, the technology market is dominated by transnational corporations and the developed countries continue to maintain their dominant position under the old economic order owing to the fact that all advanced technology is still dependent on them. To that one must add the very high cost of technology, patents, rights of ownership and trade marks. 312.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“It must guarantee the stability of the flow and terms of financing of international trade. This new international monetary system must recognize the conditions and the specific needs of the developing countries on the basis of a preferential treatment, in conformity with the declaration of the Fourth Conference of Heads of State or Government of the Non-AIigned Countries at Algiers. 310. I cannot pass in silence the very important problem of technology. Indeed, the technological needs are considerable in developing countries in general and in Africa in particular. 311.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“Under these conditions, a fundamental reform of the world trade system is one of the priority objectives to respond to the exigencies of development, as was so well stressed by Mr. Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Algeria, in his statement of 1 September 1975. 308. All aspects of this reform are of the highest interest to all developing countries because it is not necessary to prove any further that the monetary and financial system as conceived at Bretton Woods has been serving only the interests of the developed countries without talcing into account the specific needs of the developing countries. 309. The new international monetary system, for the creation and functioning of which the developing countries must participate on the basis of equality with the richer countries, must be absolutely universal.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“May I be allowed on this occasion to launch a fervent appeal to all the countries which say they belong to the third world, but which have been favored by nature and Providence, to invest with full confidence in the less privileged countries. 306. Is it necessary to speak of the trade situation resulting from the aggravation of the monetary crisis, which has stifled the development of the third world? The share of the third-world countries in world traded which is already modest, is diminishing all the time', while the terms of trade are continually deteriorating. The transfer of resources from developed to developing countries has been decreasing, whereas the volume of the external debt of the latter has quadrupled during the last decade. 307.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“As far as the Central African Republic is concerned, the developing countries should not expect everything from the industrialized countries. They must endeavor to seek solutions to their development problems at both the national and regional levels. 303. On this specific point, the Central African Republic is working in this direction by mobilizing all its resources within the framework of Operation Bokassa, which is a philosophy of economic, cultural and social development, as conceived by Mr. Jean-Bedel Bokassa, on his accession to the highest office of the land on 1 January 1966. 304. In the face of the present crisis which has shaken the world and of which the first victims are the third-world populations, the developing countries must promote solidarity that should lead to a strengthening of active co-operation among them. 305.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The discussions which took place during the seventh special session of the General Assembly have clearly demonstrated the determination of the third world to benefit from a better world, a world both more equitable and more human. 300. For their part, the industrialized countries have admitted the principle of a more concrete and active co-operation aimed at removing the enormous gap separating them from the developing countries. 301. My delegation gives its firm support to the decision taken by our Organization, which requests the permanent members of the Security Council to reduce by 10 per cent their military budgets and to use a part of the funds thus freed for assistance to developing countries. 302.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“That is why the Fourth Conference of Heads of State or Government of Non-AIigned Countries, held at Algiers in 1973, "expressed its concern at the constant deterioration of the economic conditions of the developing countries which see the gap separating them from the industrialized countries grow all the time." 298. Two years later, at Dakar, the Conference of the Developing Countries on Raw Materials declared that the present structure of international trade must be replaced by a new international economic order based on principles of equity and justice in the interest of all the peoples so as to correct present injustices and not create new ones. 299.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The third world, which is the reservoir from which the industrialized countries draw almost all the raw materials used in their factories, includes 70 per cent of mankind, but lives on only 30 per cent of the world's income. Of a population of 2,600 million people, 800 million are illiterate, nearly 1,000 million suffer from malnutrition or starvation and 900 million have a daily income of less than $0.30. These figures brought to our attention in reliable documents are sufficient evidence of the blatant injustice of which the peoples of the third world are victims. 297.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“Before closing this chapter in which I have reviewed very briefly the situation in my country, I should like to add that, having immense natural resources, the Central African Republic opens its doors wide to all public and private investments, from whatever source, provided our national institutions and our national sovereignty are respected. 295. In that regard, the Central African code of investments offers very favorable conditions, including the exemption from certain fiscal and customs taxes, for various periods of time, depending on the size and the category of investments, and the provision of land on which plants can be constructed. 296.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The Central African Republic is among these and it should therefore be given concrete help in the form of special international assistance, particularly in the spheres of agriculture, stock-breeding, mines, tourism, water and forests. 293. That is why my delegation firmly endorses the decisions taken at the Fourth Conference of Heads of State or Government of Non-Aligned Countries, held at Algiers in September 1973, and confirmed at Dakar in February 1975 by the Conference of the Developing Countries on Raw Materials, at Lima at the Conference of Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Non-Aligned Countries last August and, more recently, by the seventh special session of the General Assembly. 294.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“For some time, following the appeal of our Head of State, some international financial organizations and certain friendly countries, having understood the good reason for this decision of the Central African Government in this area, have been showing interest in this project. 290. I should like to stress also the very great importance that we give to the rapid building of the trans-African road from Mombasa to Lagos. This road will also serve the Central African Republic and will certainly contribute to African unity. 291. My delegation appeals to the specialized agencies for financing and development to pay special attention to the problems of the least developed countries, the land-locked countries and the island developing countries. 292.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“Faced with difficulties of all kinds the head of the Central African State has decided personally to undertake action at both the national and the international level, in order to make more clear to his people and to the international community the important place its Government assigns in its development Program to the problem of changing the landlocked situation of the country. 287. That is why Mr. Jean-Bedel Bokassa addressed a message on 1 January 1974 to all Central Africans, whether by origin or adoption, and to the world in general, declaring 1974 to be the year of overcoming the land-locked situation of the Central African Republic. 288. Thus the 1976-1980 five-year development plan for the Central African Republic makes this objective its number one priority. 289.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“There is no doubt that the construction of a railway which would make transport easier in the Central African Republic would have a very healthy impact which would enable us to achieve the development objectives fixed by our Organization for the establishment of a new world economic order. 284. But, to be truthful, it must be stressed that the efforts undertaken by Mr. Jean-Bedel Bokassa since 1966, when he acceded to this highest office of the country with a view to starting this process for our land-locked country encountered the strong and hidden resistance of powerful interests with the sole aim of boycotting the project and crystallizing the existing situation. 285. However, the building of the railway continues to be our highest priority because it must be the backbone of our economy. 286.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“Then it would be possible to create in the various regions a group of units of forestry production which would include saw-mills, and factories for woodworking, wood peeling, making paper pulp, and so on; to develop new agricultural crops in these same regions; and to increase the existing production throughout the country, thanks to the stimulus provided by the decrease in the cost of transport. 282. Furthermore, the large volume of traffic by rail would favor the supply of imported products at reasonable prices, and the benefits to the purchasing power of the consumers and would lead to a general rise in the standard of living of the population. 283.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“Because of this, the Central African Republic has been fighting for 15 years for the construction of a railway which, in addition to correcting its landlocked situation, would allow us to develop additional forest production corresponding to annual volume of felled trees of 500,000 to 600,000 cubic meters, and therefore promoting new agricultural production, the export of which would benefit from advantageous tariffs. With this railway network it would become possible to define a genuine policy of development, the more operational conditions of which would make the economy of the Central African Republic much more dynamic. 281.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The irony of destiny has also made the Central African Republic, a country of contrasts in which floods and drought alternate, subject to the influence of two important seasons: a rainy season with violent storms which devastate plantations and cause floods, and a long dry season which has harmful effects on crops and causes a maximum lowering of the waters. Thus, for many months the traffic on the river Ubangui is hindered. This is the only important waterway which now allows us access to the sea. 280.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The interest that the Central African Republic has in all the questions that I have just mentioned does not make it lose sight of the importance of specifically economic problems and the problems with which it is directly confronted. 278. In fact, a developing country, one of those which are least advanced economically, the Central African Republic, on account of its land-locked situation in the heart of Africa, occupies an exceptionally difficult position which deserves to be studied with great attention. 279.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“the General Assembly successively affirmed that the Republic of South Korea was fully qualified and should be admitted as a Member of the Untied Nations' South Korea with a population of over 34 million inhabitants, represents two thirds of the total population of the Korean peninsula and is a member of almost all the specialized agencies and bodies of the United Nations. It has diplomatic relations with a great majority of the States Members of our Organization. 276. In view of all these considerations, the Central African Government unreservedly supports South Korea's application for admission to the United Nations. 277.”

“The Central African Republic is in favor of the admission of both Koreas to the United Nations, although reuniftcaiKKv which has to be peaceful and independent ihouId continue to be the ultimate objective for these countries, taking into account the joint north-south communique published simultaneously on 4 July 1972.'* We believe that application for admission to the United Nations is the sovereign right of a State and that this should be examined in conformity with Article 4. paragraph ! of the Charter. 275. Is it necessary to recall that the first request was made on 19 January 1949 and that in resolutions 2% (IV). 81? fIXK 1017 <XIi and 1144 (XII).”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“As regards the question of Korea, the Government of my country continues to believe that the most realistic means for a peaceful solution is. and continues to be, the continuation of the dialog and the broadening of exchanges and co-operation between the two Korea with a view to activating an independent and peaceful unification of the country in conformity with the text of the consensus adopted by the mem-ben of the General Assembly it its twenty-eighth session." 273. By sponsoring draft resolution A,;C. 1/L.708, on the urgent need to implement fully tire consensus of the twenty-eighth sexton of the General Assembly on the Korean question and to maintain peace and security on the Korean peninsula, my country only wishes to contribute to the maintenance of peace and security in the region. 274.”

“Thus, the advisory opinion that the International Court of Justice is to give on the situation prevailing in this Territory will no doubt guide our Organization in taking a decision. 266.
