“It was 60 years ago that the Great October Socialist Revolution emerged victorious and ushered in the era of fundamental changes in the life of peoples, changes that marked a radical turnabout setting in motion the inexorable process of moulding the shape of a new world. With this great anniversary drawing near, I extend, on behalf of my Government, warmest greetings to the delegation of the Soviet Union and hope that the Soviet people will score further brilliant successes in building communism and fighting for stronger peace and security. The people of my country, which was among the first to respond to the message of the Great October, has remained and will remain true to the ideals of the revolution and lives in indissoluble bonds of friendship with the peoples of the Soviet Union. 28.”

“As I wish the delegation of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam every success in its activity, may I also voice my firm conviction that the active participation of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam in the work of our world Organization will be a significant contribution to enhancing the effectiveness and authority of the United Nations. 26. I should also like to welcome the delegation of the Republic of Djibouti and to wish that newly independent State every success in its activity within the world Organization. 27. In November of this year one of the greatest events in human history will be commemorated throughout the world.”

“24. Mr. President, on behalf of the Hungarian delegation may I warmly congratulate you on your election as President of the General Assembly during its thirty-second session. I am particularly happy to see our present session presided over by an outstanding representative of a neighbourly and friendly country—Yugoslavia. 25. I take this opportunity to extend, on behalf of my Government and of the entire Hungarian people, heartfelt congratulations to the delegation of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam on having finally assumed its rightful and legitimate place in the United Nations.”

“Kurt Waldheim, of my Government's high appreciation of his noble activity and of its readiness to lend him continued support. 108. I should like to conclude by assuring the President that the Hungarian delegation will also at the present session do its very best to ensure the successful conclusion of the work of the General Assembly. 109. We believe that this session of the General Assembly can also make an effective contribution to solving the important questions on the agenda.”

“During the past 30 years the Charter has withstood the test of time and its application has contributed to the maintenance of peace and security, to the development of relations among nations, to the solution of economic, social, cultural and humanitarian tasks, and to the expansion of international co-operation. Hence there is no need to amend the Charter. 107. During the last five years our world Organization has furthered the settlement of several international issues and has taken a number of initiatives. For the results achieved thanks are due also to the Secretary-General, Mr. Kurt Waldheim, who, with foresight and inexhaustible energy, has promoted the cause of friendship, co-operation and peace among the peoples. I should like to assure the Secretary-General, Mr.”

“Nevertheless, we are also of the view that the fundamental guarantees for the economic advancement of the developing countries lie in progressive socio-economic measures to be carried out at national levels. The correctness of this approach is also vividly shown by the accomplishments of socialist Hungary in the rapid increase of industrial and agricultural production, the flowering of cultural life, and the marked improvement of living standards. 106. An important basic condition for increasing the effectiveness of the activity of our Organization lies in a more consistent practical application of the spirit and letter of the Charter.”

“We deem it necessary that the principles laid down in the Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States should be implemented as soon as possible. 103. It is our conviction that any notable progress in the economic prosperity of the developing countries can only be made under a favorable international climate. We take satisfaction from the fact that the resolutions adopted at the Fifth Conference of non-aligned countries in Colombo also reflect a growing awareness of the interrelationships existing between detente, disarmament, and the economic advancement of individual countries. 104. We attach great importance to the provision of international assistance to the developing countries. We ourselves are trying to contribute our share, commensurate with our means and possibilities, to the development programs of these countries. 105.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“My country attaches great importance to the international activity of the non-aligned countries. We warmly welcome the positive results of the Colombo Conference and are convinced that the implementation of the Colombo resolutions [see A/311197, annex IV] will result in stronger co-operation between the socialist and the non-aligned countries. 102. We understand and support the endeavors of developing countries to bring about mutually advantageous international economic relations free from discrimination and based on equality. The position of Hungary on the establishment of a new international economic order was extensively explained by the Hungarian delegations to the sixth and seventh special sessions and the twenty-ninth regular session of the General Assembly.”

“There is ample evidence to show that the rightist, Fascist Governments, which assumed power through conspiracy, are no advocates of detente but, on the contrary, direct their activities against peaceful coexistence and co-operation among peoples. 99. Hungarian public opinion follows with unflagging attention and firmly condemns the terror by the Fascist junta in Chile. The Hungarian people, at one with the other progressive forces, demands the release of Luis Corvalan and all Chilean patriots. 100. Good relations between the socialist and the developing countries are an important factor of the world situation today. Accordingly, the Government of the Hungarian People's Republic is striving to have its relations with the developing countries become more substantial. 101.”

“The African patriots can count upon the solidarity and support of the Hungarian people in their just struggle against the illegal minority governments and the policy of apartheid. We are convinced that the circles obsessed by the ideology of racial superiority will not be able to prevent much longer the people of Zimbabwe from the exercise of its rights. We are confident, too, that the people of Namibia, now under occupation by the South African racists, will accede to real independence in the near future. 98. The actions that are encouraged from abroad to turn back the clock of history in Latin America induce world public opinion to be vigilant.”

“We deem it necessary that the relevant resolution adopted by the United Nations last year [resolution 3390 (XXX)] should be carried out. 96. Further changes of importance have taken place in Africa since last year's session of the General Assembly. The proclamation of the People's Republic of Angola, the victory of the Angolan people over foreign intervention and internal reaction, has been an event of historic significance in the disintegration of the colonial system. The Hungarian people is in sympathy with and gives support to the Angolan people in its efforts to rebuild the country, revive the national economy, and establish a progressive society. In common with the overwhelming majority of Member States, we stand for the admission of the People's Republic of Angola to the United Nations. 97.”

“My Government welcomes the active participation of the Lao People's Democratic Republic and of Democratic Kampuchea in international political life. 94. My delegation feels that the United Nations and the specialized international organizations should assume their appropriate role in the reconstruction of Indochina. The States bearing primary responsibility for the suffering caused to the peoples of Indochina should comply with their obligations undertaken in international agreements, and should provide assistance in healing the wounds of war. 95. The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic continues to support all efforts by the Government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to reduce tension on the Korean peninsula, consolidate the peace of the region, and attain the peaceful reunification of Korea.”

“We maintain that the internal problems of the island country are for the Cypriots alone to solve, taking account of the interests of the Greek and Turkish communities. 92. Turning now to Asia, my delegation is pleased to note that the conditions for a lasting relaxation of tensions in that part of the world are gradually emerging. This process is largely enhanced by the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, which, established in July last, is a stable factor of peace and security in South-East Asia. Unfortunately, the admission of that country to the United Nations has so far been blocked. The interests of international peace clearly demand that the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam should, at this very session, occupy its rightful place among the States Members of our Organization. 93.”

“The tremendous losses in human lives and the devastation in consequence of the armed clashes only play into the hands of the enemies of the Arab countries and the Palestinian Arab people. Further delay in having the situation settled is likely to conjure up the danger of an escalating conflict. We continue to hold that the Lebanese crisis can be solved only by the Lebanese themselves and that any foreign intervention cannot but aggravate the situation. My Government stands for preserving the territorial integrity of Lebanon. 91. My Government invariably supports guaranteeing the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Cyprus and eliminating all kinds of foreign intervention.”

“They have only resulted in the perpetuation of Israel's occupation of the Arab territories, the division of the Arab forces seeking a just settlement, the strengthening of the positions of Israel and its supporters, and the postponement of a solution to the crisis. 89. My Government maintains that a comprehensive settlement is possible only if the Israeli troops are withdrawn from all the Arab territories occupied by aggression in 1967; if the rights of the Palestinian Arab people, including the right to establish a State of its own, are enforced; and, lastly, if the security of all States in the Middle East and the inviolability of their frontiers are guaranteed under international safeguards. 90. My Government is deeply concerned over the developments in the Lebanese crisis.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“The Middle East crisis, the tragic events in Lebanon and the delay in finding a solution to the Cyprus problem are all fraught with the danger of a broader conflict. 87. The liquidation of the Middle East crisis is a primary task to be solved in strengthening international peace and security. My Government deplores the increasing complexity of that situation. 88. It is now evident that secret talks, separate agreements, and the slackening of relations between the socialist community and the Arab States obstruct the achievement of a durable peace in the Middle East. The unilateral attempts have not achieved their publicly stated purpose of stabilizing the situation in the region.”

“Real headway in implementing the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, solving certain problems of disarmament and achieving still closer co-operation among peoples cannot be made unless the requirements of peaceful coexistence between countries with different social systems are met to the fullest in international relations. Therefore, my Government regards the non-use of force in international relations as being of outstanding importance. We are convinced that the adoption and practical implementation of the draft treaty submitted by the Soviet Union in its memorandum of 28 September would greatly increase confidence among peoples. 86. The acute hotbeds of tension in the proximity of our continent are a source of particular concern for the Hungarian people engaged in peaceful, creative work.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“My Government places great emphasis on adoption of the Soviet draft agreement on the prohibition of the development and manufacture of new types of weapons of mass destruction and new systems of such weapons [see resolution 3479(XXX), annex]. We are gratified to see a growing number of countries showing interest in having that problem solved. 84. The Hungarian People's Republic invariably favors the earliest possible convening of the World Disarmament Conference, but it would have no objection to such interim stages of the consideration of the problems of disarmament as the convening of a special session of the General Assembly on this question. 85.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Such proposals and their implementation would serve to reduce the danger of nuclear war. 81. We welcome the fact that the Geneva Conference of the Committee on Disarmament has drawn up a draft convention on the prohibition of military or other hostile uses of environmental modification techniques, and we are hopeful that it will be given final shape and be approved by the General Assembly at its present session. 82. As far back as the twenty-first session of the General Assembly in 1966, my country was one of the initiators of action to ban chemical weapons.' Today, with 10 years behind us, we believe the time has come to take a concrete stride towards the conclusion of a convention banning chemical weapons. 83.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“We hope that, instead of trying to gain unilateral advantages, the NATO countries will in future seek a mutually acceptable arrangement by engaging in an activity similar to that of the socialist countries. 79. My Government has warmly welcomed the Treaty on Underground Nuclear Explosions for Peaceful Purposes, signed between the Soviet Union and the United States of America last May. That is another step towards nuclear disarmament. The Soviet-French agreement on the prevention of accidental or unauthorized use of nuclear weapons" is an added contribution to the reduction of international tensions. May I express my hope that similar agreements will be reached between all nuclear States? 80. The initiatives for the general and complete prohibition of nuclear weapon tests equally enjoy the support of my Government.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“We hope that the conditions will soon emerge for reaching the SALT II agreement, which would exert an exceedingly positive influence on both the relations between the two great Powers involved and the international situation in general. 78. In the context of disarmament, reductions in military forces and armaments in Central Europe are a question of the greatest timeliness. The proposals of the Warsaw Treaty countries seek to ensure that none of the countries concerned will see its security prejudiced by a mutual reduction of armed forces and armaments and to preclude the possibility for either side to obtain unilateral military advantages.”

“Military and economic circles in some countries are exerting growing pressure on their Governments to keep military spending soaring, justifying this intention by phrases culled from the time of the "cold war". We believe the United Nations cannot remain inactive in the face of such developments. 76. I should state that my Government fully shares the view, expressed by the Government of the Soviet Union in its memorandum of 28 September submitted to the General Assembly on ending the arms race and disarmament [Aj31/232]. We think that the implementation of the ideas contained in that memorandum would largely contribute to the solution of that important set of problems. 77. The Soviet-American Strategic Arms Limitation Talks [SALT] are followed by the Hungarian Government with due attention.”

“That meeting, should, in our view, be prepared in such a way as to allow it to accomplish constructive work, strengthen mutual understanding and good relations among the participating countries and make for continued advancement in the implementation of the Final Act and the expansion of co-operation among the countries of Europe. My Government wishes to work in this spirit. 74. The requirements of international peace and security call for the extension of political detente to the military field as a matter of increasing urgency. Some steps have already been taken in this direction, but it is now time to make still greater progress. 75. A central issue of present-day international life is that of curbing the arms race.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Multilateral co-operation could be an important vehicle for the implementation of the Final Act. My Government agrees with the idea of holding congresses to discuss questions relating to environmental protection, transport and energy. The implementation of this Soviet proposal would considerably enhance the cause of pan-European co-operation. Similarly, we actively support efforts to establish an institutional framework for relations between the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and the European Economic Community. 73. We consider that the consultative meeting to be held in Belgrade next year will be an important landmark in the promotion of peaceful co-operation in Europe.”

“We are of the view that the provisions of the Helsinki document should be implemented in full, bearing in mind, of course, that the Final Act offers a long-term program to work for. We look on the Final Act as an organic whole and we are not prepared to accept a selective approach to its different parts. We find it essential that reciprocity should prevail in the application of the provisions of that document. 71. The provisions of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe can be implemented most effectively in the framework of bilateral relations between the participating countries. Imbued with this spirit, we have presented concrete proposals to the Governments of many countries of Western Europe during the past, few months. 72.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“My Government believes that in the period ahead we shall be faced with major international tasks, the accomplishment of which is likely to give a new impulse to the process of detente; tasks such as that of giving full effect to the provisions of the Final Act of the Helsinki Conference, achieving further results in tackling the problem of disarmament and liquidating the still existing hotbeds of crisis. 70. The year following the Helsinki Conference bears witness to the viability of the recommendations contained in the Final Act. That document reflects the contemporary reality in Europe and corresponds to the interests of the peoples living there. The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic attaches great importance to the performance of tasks arising out of the Final Act.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Here in the forum of the United Nations let me voice my conviction that those who support peace and inter-national co-operation will be able to thwart the attacks on peaceful coexistence, uphold the achievements of detente and create the conditions for further progress. 68. Detente has emerged as the result of the joint activity of countries with different social systems. We are all aware of the outstanding role played in bringing this about by the joint efforts of the Governments of the Soviet Union and the United States. We for our part are hopeful that this constructive co-operation will continue to prevail and will make it possible to achieve still more significant results. 69.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“When we speak of progress made in the cause of peace and security we must not overlook the fact that the adversaries of detente in certain Western countries have recently come to intensify their efforts, casting absurd slanders at the socialist countries, blaming detente for specific political and economic, problems in their own countries, coming forward with trumped-up "problems" and making renewed attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of socialist countries. In a word, by using political means combined with propaganda campaigns, they are seeking to disturb the peaceful co-operation of countries with different social systems. There is mounting evidence that what the extremist circles are seeking is to destroy not only the results of the Helsinki Conference but detente in general. 67.”

“We have accomplished a great deal towards enabling our people to become acquainted with the true cultural values of the countries in Western Europe and North America. The development of personal contacts between peoples is greatly facilitated by our flexible practice in the granting of visas. In 1975 our country, with a population of 10 million, was visited by more than 9 million foreigners. In the spirit of the 10 principles endorsed in Helsinki at the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe we stand ready to develop interstate relations with other countries, broaden the scope of political, economic and cultural co-operation, improve the exchange of information and widen human contacts. 66.”

“nations as well as in further developing detente. Lasting peace and stable security are the central goal of our foreign policy. We are convinced that this policy is, at the same time, fully in keeping with the vital interests of the Hungarian people. 65. The development of bilateral relations between socialist and capitalist countries is of great importance to the strengthening of peace and security. The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic has already done a great deal in this domain. We have wide-ranging political, economic and cultural relations with capitalist countries. Exchanges of visits by statesmen are frequent. The ex-change of goods and co-operation in the field of industry are widening in scope.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Today it is clearly realized by all that the practical implementation of the principle of peaceful coexistence and the extension of detente create favorable conditions for social progress and peaceful construction, while increasing trust among peoples. That is why the foreign policy initiatives of the socialist community are directed towards extending the process of detente and making it irreversible. The proposals of the socialist countries, particularly of the Soviet Union, give constant impetus to the struggle for peace, security and fruitful international co-operation. 64. The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic, like those of the other countries of the socialist community, actively contributes its part in joint efforts for the strengthening of peace and security and for developing co-operation among peoples and .”

“On behalf of the Hungarian delegation, may I whole-heartedly congratulate Mr. Amerasinghe on his election as President of the General Assembly during its thirty-first session. I am pleased to see this high post occupied by the Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka, a country with which Hungary maintains friendly relations and which has recently acted as host to the Fifth Conference of non- aligned countries. 62. May I welcome, on behalf of my Government, the representative of the Republic of Seychelles on the occasion of his country's admission to membership in the United Nations. We wish this young State success in its pursuits within our world Organization. 63.”

“We are firmly convinced that if the efforts to revise the Charter succeeded, the effectiveness of our Organization would be greatly weakened, whereas, by making better use of the possibilities offered by the Charter, we can enhance the efficiency and authority of our Organization. 162. My Government is likewise firmly convinced that the work of our Organization has become more effective in recent years. In this a major portion of the credit belongs to the Secretary-General, to whom I take this opportunity to convey the best wishes of my Government. 163. In conclusion. 1 can assure you. Mr. President, that the Hungarian delegation v,iH. at the present session of the General Assembly, also do everything in its power to ensure the successful outcome of the work of our deliberations.”

“World public opinion is becoming evermore resolute in its demands that the peoples of Namibia and Zimbabwe be allowed to decide their own destiny and to become the real masters of their native lands. 160. In conformity with the relevant resolution of the General Assembly, my Government has transmitted to the Secretary-General its views regarding the revision of the Charter. We think that, although during the past 50 years substantial changes have taken place in the world, (he provisions of the Charter are still adequate to give effect to the aims and purposes of the United Nations. If in this area there have been, or probably still are, problems, the fault lies not with the Charter. Every Member State should pursue a line of policy consistent with the principles of the Charter, which we have all accepted. 161.”

“In voicing our pleasure and satisfaction over the progress made in the elimination of the colonial system, we must not forget that some monopolistic- capitalist circles are trying to slow down this process. 158. In Angola, heavy roadblocks continue to be built up on, the way to the country's independence and peaceful development. The intervention of Powers moved by neo-colonialist interests sows discard be-tween the liberation movements and brings fresh trials to the patriots struggling for the country's genuine independence. 159. The complete liberation of the African peoples cannot be prevented, even by the inhuman racist regimes in Rhodesia and South Africa.”

“It was 15 years ago that the United Nations adopted a Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples [resolution 1514 (XV)]. We are truly overjoyed to be able to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of this event with the attainment of independence by numerous colonial peoples. 156. Allow me, on behalf of the Government of the Hungarian People's Republic, to welcome the newly admitted States Members of the United Nations: namely, the People's Republic of Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe, and the Republic of Cape Verde. My Government has not delayed to recognize these countries as independent and sovereign States. We are convinced that their participation in the work of the United Nations will serve the cause of progress and peace. 157.”

“The socialist countries have long professed their conviction and given evidence of this conviction by putting forward initiatives and proposals that the economic advance or the developing countries and the reform of international economic relations on new and more equitable foundations are closely interrelated with the results achieved in consolidating peace and security. The gradual realization of the aspirations of developing countries mainly lies in changes in the international correlation or Forces and in the new realities that have emerged En the United Nations and in other international forums. An important stage in this process was marked at the seventh special session by the General Assembly, which, in the resolution adopted [resolution 3361 (S-VIlj] made a great stride forward in seeking the ways; and means of solutions. 155.”

“Our delegation, as one of the sponsors of that proposal [AIIQ191 and Add.I-3), hopes that a significant majority of Member Slates will support the draft resolution and thereby contribute to the settlement of a problem which has long been ripe for solution. 153. My Government is of the opinion that conditions for the establishment of a collective security system in Asia are developing in parallel to the extension of detente. I am referring to this question mainly because 1 am convinced that the establishment of a collective security system in Asia would not only be fully in keeping with the endeavors of the peace-loving peoples of the Asian continent, bul would also contribute significantly to the consolidation of peace and security in general. 154.”

“The example of socialist Cuba and other countries of this continent which are pursuing a progressive policy makes their effect increasingly felt on the region of Latin America. 152. The Hungarian People's Republic has from the very outset supported the noble efforts of the Government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to achieve the peaceful reunification of that country. My Government demands the withdrawal of foreign troops from South Korea. It was in this spirit that, together with several other States, it requested the inclusion in the agenda of sub-item 119 (a) entitled "Creation of favorable conditions for converting the armistice into a durable peace in Korea and accelerating the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea".”

“The Chilean people, however, continues its heroic struggle, in which it enjoys the support of the progressive forces and public opinion throughout the world. 150. Nor can we overlook the attempts that can be observed in other Latin American countries. Inter-national and internal reactionaries are plotting to bring about coups similar to the Fascist coup in Chile. Those attempts might dangerously aggravate the international situation, for the reactionary regimes resort precisely to an increase of international tension as a means of holding sway over their peoples. 151. The progressive forces of Latin America throw up great obstacles to the schemes of the reactionaries.”

“In our view, the most appropriate forum for solving the Middle East conflict is still the Geneva Peace Conference, with the participation of all the interested parties, including the PLO, the Soviet Union and the United States. A settlement of the question, whether it is sought at the Geneva Conference or by other means, cannot be lasting without the participation of the socialist countries, and primarily of the Soviet Union, because without it there can be no agreement guaranteeing the just interests of the Arab peoples. 149. The fact that international reaction and the imperialist forces are on the move inevitably recalls the tragedy that overtook the people of Chile two years ago. The Chilean Fascist regime continues to keep thousands of patriots in prisons and concentration camps and continues to persecute the progressive forces.”

“In principle, we have no objection to the partial results achieved by political means, but only provided that they form part and parcel of a comprehensive settlement taking due regard of the interests of all the parties concerned. In connexion with the recent agreement on the disengagement of Egyptian-Israeli forces, we do not share the optimism of those who brought it about. We are concerned because the agreement fails to solve any of the crucial problems, fails to provide for the complete evacuation of the Arab territories occupied in 1967, and fails to provide recognition of the national rights of the Palestinian Arab people and for guarantees of the security of all countries of the Middle East. 148.”

“We are glad to see that, in the spirit of the relevant resolutions of the United Nations, the Portuguese Government has taken consistent and effective steps to ensure the attainment of independence by its colonies. Certain events, however, that have occurred in Portugal in recent months give us some cause for concern. We find it inadmissible that certain Western politicians are interfering in Portugal's internal affairs. It is solely for the Portuguese people to decide on their future and to choose their way of life. No one is entitled to interfere, either overtly or covertly, in the internal affairs of the Portuguese people. 147. Turning to the Middle East region, we think that the situation there is still explosive. My Government insists on the need for a comprehensive settlement of the Middle East situation.”

“We demand the immediate withdrawal of all foreign military forces and we are strongly opposed to any plan to divide the island State into two parts. My Government believes that the time has come for the Security Council to adopt effective measures for the immediate implementation of its earlier resolutions. 145. We should like to see the talks between the leaders of the two communities in Cyprus leading to early success through the mediation of the Secretary- General. 146. The Government and people of the Hungarian People's Republic, in common with all of progressive mankind, welcome with gratification the favorable changes that have taken place in Portugal after the overthrow of Fascist rule.”

“It is important for the peoples struggling for peace and security to isolate the fanatics of the arms race and to compel them to adopt an attitude in keeping with the interests of the peoples. 143. The States Members of the United Nations have to make further efforts to solve outstanding international problems because those hotbeds of international tension which poison international life have a negative effect on further progress and may well imperil the results achieved so far in the process of detente. 144. A favorable development in the European situation and the future of the region bordering on Cyprus are overshadowed by the events connected with that island State. The Hungarian People's Republic unswervingly favors the complete independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus.”

“We hope that the draft presented by the two Co-Chairmen on 21 August will be found by the General Assembly to constitute an appropriate basis for the conclusion of the Convention. 141. My Government invariably supported as impor-tant and timely the proposals presented by the Govern-ment of the Soviet Union at the previous session of the General Assembly and widely supported by Member States. We attach particular importance to the early convening of a world disarmament conference. 142. It has never been, nor will it be, an easy task to have disarmament measures adopted. Influential circles which seek to continue and even to step up the arms race still exist in the West in defiance of their Government's officially declared foreign policy course.”

“The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction [resolution 2826 (XXVI)} entered into force on 26 March this year. The socialist countries, which made considerable efforts to achieve that Convention, will continue to struggle for the complete prohibition of chemical weapons. 140. With regard to the Conference of the Committee on Disarmament at Geneva, we cannot but welcome as a significant result of its work the elaboration of a draft convention, proposed by the Soviet Government, on the prohibition of action to influence the environment and climate for military or other hostile purposes.”

“The Government of the Hungarian People's Republic enthusiastically welcomes the Soviet proposal presented at this session for the general and complete prohibition of nuclear-weapon tests and regards it as a timely initiative of very great importance for the future of mankind. It is our hope that all Governments will ultimately comply with the demands of the peoples and will agree to the complete prohibition of nuclear-weapon tests. 138. My Government similarly lends warm support to another highly important proposal made by the Government of the Soviet Union concerning the prohibition of the development and manufacture of new types of weapons of mass destruction and of new systems of such weapons. The adoption of this proposal would be a significant step towards curbing the arms race. 139.”

“The proposals made by the Warsaw Pact countries are aimed at reaching an agreement that will guarantee the security of all the countries concerned and preclude the possibility of any of the parties gaining unilateral military advantages. It is time for the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to act on the basis of similar considerations and to show due regard for the principle of equal security. 136. Twelve years have passed since the Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in the Atmosphere, in Outer Space and under Water was signed in Moscow. Mankind pinned great hopes on achieving, on the basis of that treaty, a general and complete cessation of nuclear-weapon tests, but certain Powers for different reasons raised objections to a complete ban on nuclear-weapon tests. 137.”

“Several speakers before me have already emphasized that political detente can be durable and be broadened in scope only if it is supplemented by measures within the context of disarmament. Our delegation is pleased to note that last year some headway was made in this respect as well. 134. We continue to attach great importance to the Soviet-American Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, the results of which are bound to serve the interests not only of those two world Powers but also of each and every country in the world. Precisely for this reason, we look forward with some expectation to an eventual new agreement in this respect. 135. We are following with great attention the Vienna talks on the reduction of armed forces in Central Europe.”
