“We are convinced that joint actions by all the political elements and serial forces desirous of maintaining peaceful international relations and co-operation among States can, in the final analysis, overcome the determination to seek confrontation To bring about that end my country is prepared to join with all countries who are conducting a sober, responsible policy. It is in that spirit that our delegation will act at this session of the General Assembly.”

“All this not only has an unfavorable impact in relations between East and West, but does damage to the interests of the developing world and further delays the establishment of a new, just inter¬national economic order, based on democratic prin¬ciples. 34. My Government believes that the difficulties in international economic co-operation should be eliminated and that countries of the world, both large and small, should equally, without any discrimination, enjoy the mutual advantages which result from the international division of labour. 35. Despite the more tense international situation and the unfavorable political processes taking place in the world, we believe that the possibilities of peace¬ful development have not yet been exhausted. This view is imposed by common sense and by the interests of the peoples of the world.”

“My country is very concerned about the un¬hampered development of mutually advantageous international economic, trade and financial relations. I must note with regret that the tension in the inter-national situation has long had an unfavorable influence onall fields of international economic, trade, financial and scientific and technological co¬operation. We decisively reject the policy of economic sanctions against the socialist countries, the policies of embargo, boycott and discrimination. Such policies have not been successful in the past, and at the present time no one will be able to move the socialist countries away from the path of building a new society and promoting progress. Such attempts can only lead to a worsening of the international atmosphere.”

“Nowadays we often receive news about pres¬sures and threats aimed against Cuba., Nicaragua, Grenada and other Latin American countries, about the heroic struggle of the patriots of El Salvador and of actions against the dictatorial regimes in many coun¬tries of Latin America. We believe that in this region of the world, too, we should respect the right of peoples to self-determination. 32. We believe that the non-aligned movement is an important, positive factor in international life. We were concerned that recently imperialist machinations to shatter the movement have been stepped up. We believe that the non-aligned countries can maintain and strengthen the anti-imperialist unity of their movement in this situation too, and can remain true to their well-tested principles. 33.”

“My Government supports the just struggle of the Namibian people which it has been waging, under the leader¬ship of the South West Africa People's Organization [SWAPO], its sole legitimate representative, against the South African occupiers to win genuine indepen¬dence for the country. Hungary rejects the Western maneuvers, the aim of which is to maintain foreign domination, both political and economic, and to pre¬serve the influence of the South African racist Govern¬ment. We favor the implementation of the United Nations plan. The basis for a negotiated settlement can only be Security Council resolution 433 (1978), which should be implemented without any change or distortion. 31.”

“The South Atlantic armed conflict which took place in recent months with regard to the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands also has shown how many complex and far-reaching international problems can be created by the vestiges of the colonial system and what a serious threat they can constitute for peace. We consider that that problem too should be resolved through negotiation. 30. Notwithstanding the derisions of the United Nations and all efforts made thus far by the progressive forces in the world, the South African racist regime continues to occupy Namibia. The situation which has emerged in southern Africa poses a serious threat to international peace and security. That is why one of the most urgent tasks is to resolve the fate of Namibia, to guarantee the independence of that country.”

“In this forum, I should like to reaffirm the support of the Government of the Hungarian People's Republic for the struggle of peoples for social progress, national independence aid self-determination and our opposition to colonial oppression and neb- colonialist aspirations. We are decisively opposed to racial discrimination and condemn the policy of apartheid? 28. We feel that the United Nations must adopt more decisive and effective measures than it has done so far to eliminate once and for all the vestiges of colonialism in order to guarantee the rights of all peoples to self-determination. 29.”

“My Government regards as of particular importance the restitution of the territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus and its Government's policy of non- alignment. It supports a peaceful solution to the ques¬tion of Cyprus through negotiations that would serve the interests of both communities in that State in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolu¬tions, and it supports efforts undertaken in that direction. 27. At this session of the General Assembly, many speakers will undoubtedly express their just concern about the fact that with a view to securing their interests imperialism and neo colonialism are in¬creasing their pressure on the developing countries and the non-aligned movement, and that they are trying to frustrate the success of the national liberation movement.”

“The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic supports the proposal of the Government of the Mongolian People's Republic for the convening of an international conference of the Asian and Pacific countries to discuss questions relating to the conclusion of a convention on the non-use of force and mutual non- aggression. Among the factors hindering an improve¬ment in the international situation we should mention the problems created by the Korean question, which has remained unsettled for so long. My Government continues to support the just struggle of the Demo¬cratic People's Republic of Korea and the cause of a peaceful and democratic unification of the two parts of the country free from outside interference.”

“It welcomes and supports the proposals of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the three Indo-Chinese countries dated July 1982, which show that those countries are seeking peace and dialogue on substantive matters, as well as friendship and co-operation with their neighbors. The attempts being made through the vestiges of the former regime, which formed the so-called coalition government, to undermine the legal order of the People's Republic of Kampuchea are doomed to failure. We are convinced that recognition of the existing political realities is the only right way to guarantee peace and stability in that region. 26.”

“We support the pro¬posals of the Government of Afghanistan and the Soviet Union designed to bring about a political solu¬tion of the situation prevailing around Afghanistan. We have followed with interest the activities of the Personal Representative of the Secretary-General. We hope that the States directly concerned will find a way to resolve the problem by talks, which must include recognition of the legitimate Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan as well as guarantees for the security of that country. 25. The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic, as is well known, feels solidarity with the countries of Indo-China.”

“The six-point proposal of the Soviet Union that was put forward by the General Secretary of the Communist Party and Chairman of the Presidiums of the Supreme Soviet, Leonid Brezhnev , meets all those requirements, and we therefore believe it to be acceptable for the resolution of the problem. 24. The development of the international situation has been adversely affected by the baleful influence of circles seeking to maintain and to worsen tension and which continue artificially to support the inclusion of the so-called Afghan and Kampuchean questions OH the agenda. With regard to Afghanistan, my Govern¬ment continues to maintain its firm position that the key question is a cessation of the interference by the forces of international reactionary forces in the internal affairs of that country.”

“It firmly believes that in order to achieve this it is urgent that there be a complete and unconditional withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Arab territories that have been occupied since 1967, as well as from Lebanon; that there be a guarantee of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian Arab people, including their right to create an independent Palestinian State; and that there be international guarantees for the security and inde¬pendent existence of all States in the region. It supports the idea of convening an international conference with the participation of all parties concerned, including the Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO], in order to promote a comprehensive and just settlement.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“The United Nations should take decisive measures to restrain Israel, which has consistently disregarded Security Council and General Assembly resolutions and which regularly violates the elementary norms of international law. 23. The aggression against Lebanon is a new and premonitory proof of the fact that the policy of separate dealings and the blatant use of military force cannot lead to any real settlement of the Middle East crisis but, on the contrary, will lead to an exacerbation of the situation in that region. The Hungarian Govern¬ment will continue to advocate a comprehensive and just settlement of the Middle East crisis and the establishment of lasting peace in the region.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“That region has for many years been the source of one of the world's most tragic crises. The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic and public opinion in our country most vehemently condemn the aggressive expansionist policies of Israel and its barbaric war against the Lebanese and Pal¬estinian Arab peoples which, together with the imperialist maneuvers designed to achieve a total domination over the Middle East, has created a serious threat to peace and security for the peoples in that region and for the entire world. We express our sympathy for the victims of the terrible tragedy that has occurred in Lebanon, and we continue to support the just struggle of the Arab peoples. Our people learned of the bloody massacre in Beirut with indigna¬tion and we vehemently condemn that evil deed.”

“It may seem strange that in this context I should also mention Europe. In the past, we used to talk about Europe as a region of peace and tranquility. However, events that have occurred in recent years —the decision by NATO to station 572 medium-range nuclear missiles in Western Europe, the American refusal to ratify the SALT II agreement, the Western plan for a vastly accelerated arms build-up and the inadmissible Western interference in the events in Poland—have increased tension in our continent to a significant degree. We hope that the ongoing Soviet- American talks will ultimately yield results that will foster peaceful co-operation among the European countries. 22. The extremely tense situation in the Middle East that has evolved in recent months has created profound concern.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“The responsibility of the participating coun¬tries is particularly great, since the shaping of the international political situation and prospects for disarmament depend to a large extent on how rela¬tions evolve among the participating countries and what sort of co-operation will be established among them. 20. The growth of international tension has been fostered also by the fact that in effect no progress has been made in eliminating pockets of tension that have either long existed or recently emerged. Furthermore, in some places the situation continues to worsen, and the prospects for settlement are becoming ever more remote. My Government believes it abso¬lutely urgent to adopt specific steps speedily to eliminate pockets of tension and local conflicts and to resolve controversial issues by peaceful means. 21.”

“Our delegation to the Madrid session of the Conference, which is to resume its follow-up to questions of European security and co-operation next November, will work in the interest of guaran¬teeing a constructive spirit for the talks and the adop¬tion of a meaningful, balanced and purposeful final document. 19. The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic is anxious that the Madrid session should conclude its work successfully. We consider it partic¬ularly important that that Conference should adopt a decision to convene a European conference on confidence-building, security and disarmament. The delegations rf all countries participating in the Madrid Conference should be guided by a will to achieve agreement.”

“However, one should not underestimate the significance of the fact that at that session the overwhelming majority of the States Members of the United Nations unanimously expressed their concern at the threat of war. They clearly stated that the elimination of the nuclear threat was the most urgent task of this period. 18. The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic constantly devotes great attention to European security and co-operation. Although our country is small, still, as far as we can, we too promote the practical implementation of the recommendations and spirit of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, signed at Helsinki.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“The goal of fostering nuclear disarmament requires that in addition to efforts towards resolving the baste problems, it is necessary to use all other opportunities which directly or at least indirectly could promote a reduction of the nuclear threat. In this respect we believe that further efforts should be made to reduce the deployment of nuclear weapons, to create nuclear-free zones and zones of peace, to guarantee the security of countries which do not possess nuclear weapons and to prevent the accidental use of nuclear weapons. 17. The Government and people of the Hungarian People's Republic express regret that because of the existing unfavorable international situation and the lack of political will among certain influential Powers, the second special session devoted to disarmament did not yield the expected results.”

“It is urgent that practical agreements be reached as soon as possible in those talks, oh the basis of the principle of equality and equal security. 13. In the struggle against armaments an important role would be played by a ban on nuclear-weapon testing in all spheres. Along with many other coun¬tries, we were amazed at the recent decision of the United States Administration not to resume the trilateral talks on a general and complete ban on nuclear-weapon testing. We follow with anxiety the fact that there is an increase in the number of indi¬vidual countries which intend to become nuclear- weapon States. We consider that one of the most pressing tasks which demand tremendous responsi¬bility is the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. That is why the United Nations should also strive to bring that about. 16.”

“If all nuclear Powers were to make that commitment, in practice that would mean that the use of the most dangerous weapons of mass destruction would be impossible. Trust amongst States would be signifi¬cantly increased and we could hope for the success of disarmament talks with justifiable optimism. 13. We regret that the nuclear Powers which have not yet taken this step are adhering to their plans for manufacturing new types of nuclear weapons, and some of them are still continuing to disseminate the absurd doctrine of a limited nuclear war. 14. From the point of view of strengthening universal peace and security, relations between the Soviet Union and the United States are of decisive importance; hence their talks to limit and reduce strategic nuclear weapons, as well as medium-range nuclear missiles, are particularly important.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“Naturally, given the state of armaments today, peoples of the world and peace-loving Governments are concentrating first and foremost on eliminating the danger of nuclear war. My Government also gives priority importance to nuclear disarmament. We are anxious to see the urgent adoption of measures and the conclusion of international agreements that would reduce the arms race and at the same time be specific steps towards nuclear disarmament. 12. We consider the general and unilateral commit¬ment of the Soviet Union as being a significant con-tribution to the cause of peace and disarmament, and welcome it, namely, that in no circumstances would it be the first to use nuclear weapons.”

“That parity is an historic victory for the countries and peoples which are fighting for socialism, progress and peace; they therefore advocate maintaining it, and strive to ensure that it is maintained at the lowest possible level. 10. Hence the socialist countries, together with other peace-loving countries, in the United Nations and in all other international forums, are making constant efforts to curb the arms race which has reached senseless proportions and to achieve tangible, sub¬stantive results in the field of disarmament. That goal is served by a number of proposals and draft treaties submitted at this session of the General Assembly which prescribe specific commitments. 11.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“The Hungarian People's Republic is a staunch champion of disarmament and of the limitation and reduction of armed forces and armaments. My Govern¬ment takes active part in various international disarmament forums and also seeks in its bilateral relations to promote the cause of disarmament. We are convinced that none of the pressing problems of peace can be solved by armaments. Stockpiling weapons will not result in more stable, guaranteed security or peace, even for the countries which possess those weapons. 9. Today's balance of military power in the world is characterized by parity between the Soviet Union and the United States, and between the Warsaw Treaty countries and the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NAO]. There is now approxi¬mate parity in both nuclear and conventional weapons.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“We constantly advocate this in international forums and in bilateral relations. We consider that every opportunity should be seized to expand international co-operation and that increased efforts should be undertaken to find constructive solutions to the problems that stand in the way. Thus, we attach particular importance to the maintenance of the bilateral relations which have evolved during the past decade on the basis of the principle of the peace¬ful coexistence of countries with different social systems. Moreover, we deem it necessary to intensify political contacts and dialogue and to broaden eco¬nomic and other relations which serve our mutual interests. 7. In order to achieve these goals, we must continue to strengthen the role of the United Nations so that it can be more effective in bolstering the cause of peace, 8.”

“It is promising to note that more and more countries and larger and larger masses of the people are op¬posing the unbridled arms race, the policy of force, sabre-rattling and measures aimed at creating tension. 6. My Government decisively condemns the attacks launched against detente and the attempts that are being made in poison the international atmosphere and to step up the arms race. We consider that our most important foreign policy task in the present situa¬tion is to make the greatest contribution we can to the safeguarding of peace throughout the world, to the improvement of the international atmosphere, to the strengthening of international security, to the promo¬tion of the cause of disarmament and to the strength¬ening of friendship and multilateral co-operation among States and peoples.”

“The extremist imperialist circles are systematically seeking to impair relations between the socialist and the developed capitalist countries, and to destroy the results which have been achieved in the development of East-West co-operation on the basis of mutual interests. In order to attain their goals, they are exerting growing pressure on the developing countries and on the liberation movements. They have been launching campaigns of slander and propaganda against the socialist and other progressive countries and have been ceaselessly attempting to interfere in their internal affairs on various pretexts. 79 5. We are convinced that it is in the interest of the peoples of the world to put an end to these processes.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“The main reason for the deterioration in the international situation is that extremist imperialist circles are striving to upset the balance if power which has emerged between the two world systems. They are striving to attain military supremacy, and to that end have started to arm themselves on an unprecedented scale. They are seeking to establish international conditions in which they can impose their will on other States. I could give many examples of the way in which existing crises have worsened and in which new crises have emerged, aiding and abetting the reactionary forces. 4.”

“On behalf of the Hungarian delegation, Sir, I offer you heartfelt congratulations on your election as President of the thirty-seventh session of the General Assembly. We are pleased at your election to that high post, for it is an expression of international recognition both of socialist Hungary's peace-loving foreign policy and of its activities in the United Nations. It is our sincere hope that under your guidance the General Assembly will carry out the tasks of this session successfully and in a constructive atmosphere. 2. The thirty-seventh session of the General As¬sembly is taking place in an international situation full of controversy and fraught with dangers. Since last year, subversive activities threatening peace and security have been stepped up; tension connected with certain specific events continues to grow. 3.”

“It is true that the processes which are now at work in world politics give little ground for optimism. However, our hopes are based on our conviction that the forces which are interested in maintaining peace and co-operation among States will ultimately prevail over attempts at confrontation. It is our belief that the prevailing situation of tension is temporary in character and that the community of. nations will find itself able to return to fruitful relations and International co-operation for the benefit of all. lb that end my country is willing to combine its efforts with those of other countries which pursue realistic policies.”

“The Hungarian People's Republic regards developing countries as Important economic partners enjoying equal rights in every respect. We are ready to participate in the vigorous development of economic, commercial, scientific and technological co-operation with them on a mutually advantageous and long-term basis. At the same time, I believe it is important to stress that we are also striving for a universal solution to the problems of the world economy, including the elimination of those factors which hinder the development of East-West economic relations. . 35. I have attempted in this way to present the views of my Government on certain questions relating to the current international situation and to Indicate our priority concerns in foreign policy.”

“We believe that the right of peoples to self-deter-urination Is applicable also to the American continent and no one is entitled to Intervene in the internal affairs of other countries or to determine the course of their development. 34. The Hungarian People's Republic continues to maintain a profound interest hi the unhindered development of international economic co-operation. My Government seeks to promote the development of International economic relations, the removal of obstacles to co-operation, the elimination of unequal relations and the establishment of a just and democratic international economic order. The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic supports and encourages the lawful economic demands of developing countries.”

“We condemn the acts of aggression by the Government of South Africa against neighboring countries. Those acts pose a threat to international peace and security. We consider it to be particularly outrageous that the army of the racist regime has penetrated deep into Angolan territory, thus trampling underfoot international law and the principle of national sovereignty, The world Organization has a duty to adopt and apply sanctions against the aggressor. 33. Much disquieting news is coming in from Central America. With American assistance the military junta is out to crush the struggle of the patriots who represent the interests of the Salvadorean people; Imperialist pressures ate mounting on democratic Nicaragua also. Cuba has become to target of dally propaganda attacks by the United States.”

“guided by that same spirit. 31. We believe that the States Members of the United Nations should take much more effective measures than they have done so far with a view to the final elimination of the vestiges of colonialism and to ensuring the exercise by all peoples of their right to self-determination. One of the most urgent tasks is to ensure Namibia's accession to independence. My Government supports the Namibian people in its struggle for independence waged under the leadership of the South West Africa People's Organization [SHMFO], its sole legitimate representative, against the South African occupiers. My Government maintains that the United Nations should put its earlier resolutions into effect by immediately ending the Illegal occupation of. Namibia, and ensuring the Territorial's real independents. 32.”

“My Government is unswerving in its solidarity with the struggle of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and supports its efforts to bring about the peaceful reunification of that country. 30. My Government shares the justified concern already voiced by several speakers over the mounting economic, political and military pressure being exerted by Imperialism and international reaction on the developing countries and the national liberation movements. I should like to declare in this forum that my Government supports the struggle of peoples for social progress, national independence and self-determination, and against colonial oppression and neo-colonialist ambitions. Our position concerning the situation in southern Africa, the policy of apartheid. Western Sahara and the revolutionary processes in Latin America is.”

“We take great satisfaction in the fact that the efforts, of the Kampuchean people, which has suffered a terrible tragedy, have produced significant results in the reconstruction and consolidation of the People's Republic of Kampuchea. Keeping the so-called question of Kampuchea on the agenda of various international forums only serves imperialist and reactionary interests, The prestige of the world Organization is not enhanced by the fact that the rightful place of the People's Republic of Kampuchea is still being occupied by the Pol Pot clique which represents no one. 29. Among the factors preventing any improvement in the international situation, I should mention the long-outstanding question of Korea.”

“The Hungarian Government is in solidarity with the countries of IndoChina and supports their constructive proposals to restore tranquility in the region and to transform South-East Asia into a zone of peace and stability and multilateral cooperation among States. It is desirable that the dialog which is getting under way among the countries of South-East Asia on the basis of peaceful political initiatives by three countries of IndoChina should produce positive results. We are convinced that recognition of the existing political realities is the only correct path to follow in securing peace and stability in the area. 28.”

“The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic believes that the termination of outside intervention in the domestic affairs of Afghanistan is an indispensable prerequisite to the elimination of the dangerous situation around that country. We support the Afghan Government's proposals for a settlement of 24 August 1981 [A/36145] as providing a good basis for a political solution. Any settlement plan that seeks a decision on Afghanistan without the participation of the legitimate Government of th'U country and refuses to recognize the sovereign and Inalienable right of the Afghan people to settle its own affairs is unrealistic and unacceptable. 27. The policy of China, guided as it is by hegemonistic designs, has given rise to serious complications in IndoChina and South-East Asia.”

“We regret that the leading Western Powers reject the concrete proposals of the Soviet Union concerning a settlement of the situation and are impeding the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Indian Ocean as a Zone of Peace [General Assembly resolution 35/150]. 26. The improvement of the international situation as a whole and the normal development of inter-State relations and co-operation is being hampered by collaboration between imperialist circles, the hegemonists of Peking and other elements to keep the so-called questions of Afghanistan and Kampuchea artificially on the agenda.”

“My Government is of the view that the present session of the General Assembly should contribute towards convening an international conference capable of settling the acute crisis in the Middle East with the participation of all interested parties, including the Palestine Liberation Organization [PL0]. 25. Imperialist circles have created a dangerous situation in the area of the Persian Gulf and, more broadly, throughout the entire Indian Ocean basin. In that region, where a considerable part of the world's oil resources is to be found, peace, security and stability are of particular importance. What is needed is not a show of military force, but agreements that guarantee peace and security.”

“The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic favors a comprehensive and just settlement of the Middle East crisis and for the establishment of a .lasting peace in the region. It has taken a stand of solidarity with the just struggle of the Arab peoples and considers that complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from all the occupied Arab territories, respect for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including the right to establish an independent State of Palestine and international guarantees for the security and independence of all the States of the region are absolutely indispensable. This is in keeping with the interests of the States and peoples of that area as well as of international peace and security.”

“The latest international events have once again placed renewed emphasis on the need to eliminate local conflicts, to eliminate hotbeds of crisis and to-prevent the emergence of new ones. 23. In recent years tension and the danger of armed conflict in the Middle East have become chronic. Israel’s armed aggression against Lebanon, its threats of war against Syria, its piratical attack on Iraq and the provocations of its air force against Libya are all evidence that the Government of Israel and the imperialist forces backing It ale attempting IO keep the Middle Fast crisis aIivc. It would appear that they want to exploit the complex situation then: In order to establish American military bases. All this makes it even more evident that the separate Camp David deal is totally useless for the settlement of existing problems. 24.”

“We earnestly hope that the Madrid meeting will conclude its work by adopting a meaningful and balanced final document imbued with a sense of responsibility for the destiny of the peoples of the world. We believe it to be of extreme importance that a decision be taken to convene a conference on military detente and disarmament in Europe as that would make it possible to seek sensible compromises In adopting certain confidence-building measures and solving disarmament issues. 22. One of the major reasons for the present state of international tensions is that in the recent years there has been no substantial progress towards removing the hotbeds of tensions in different parts of the world.”

“As regards the cause of security and cooperation in Europe, the Hungarian Government has consistently striven to develop its international cooperation in the spirit of the Final Act of Helsinki. Hungarian diplomacy is taking an active part in the Madrid meeting of representatives of States signatories to the Final Act and is tirelessly persevering in its efforts to contain tendencies towards confrontation and to maintain a business like spirit in all deliberations. Together with a number of other countries, the STates members of the Warsaw Treaty are working towards conducting a constructive dialog and producing mutually acceptable agreements on the basis of the Helsinki principles. 21.”

“In our view the second special session on disarmament should concentrate on the elaboration of concrete measures designed to restrain the arms race and effectively to promote the cause of disarmament: it should prevent problems of secondary significance being pushed into foreground of the discussion. 19. The Hungarian People's Republic continues to pay particular attention to the promotion of detente. Detente is not a mere expression which can be struck out of dictionaries if it is not liked, but living process expressing the will of peoples. We believe that detente should continue to play a decisive role in maintaining peace and strengthening security, consolidating peaceful coexistence between countries with different social systems and expanding mutually beneficial cooperation. 20.”

“It is our conviction that, given the necessary political will, progress in that direction is possible. 17. We regret that while the arms race is being stepped up no positive response has been received to any disarmament proposals, formulated with due regard to mutual interests, that the socialist countries have presented in various forums. A grave historical responsibility is assumed by those who no need to the proposals of the socialist countries. 18. An important task for the Assembly at the present session is the preparation of the second special session of the United Nations General Assembly on disarmament schedule for 1982. We expect that the efforts being exerted towards the intensification of disarmament talks will be encouraged by that session and even by its preparatory phase.”

“The emergence of that particularly inhumane weapon of moss destruction in the military arsenal is a consequence of the fallacious doctrine that proclaims the possibility of a limited nuclear war and brings closer the danger of a nuclear holocaust. It is destined to bring about a new wave of nuclear armament and to reduce the chances of success of disarmament talks. We therefore have every basis for demanding that the neutron bomb be outlawed.countries, 14. We warmly welcome the draft declaration submitted producing mutually acceptable agreements on ,the basis of to the General Assembly by the Soviet Union [Al36124 annex], whereby the first use of nuclear weapons would be considered a crime against mankind. We believe that the General Assembly should adopt such a declaration on the prevention of nuclear catastrophe. 15.”
