“We welcome, of course, the peaceful outcome of the struggle of these peoples for their independence and freedom. But here we should like to state categorically that to advise the oppressed peoples to search for areas of common interest and agreement with colonizers is tantamount to calling for non-resistance to the arbitrary outrages and acts of violence committed by the foreign oppressors. Those who give such counsel pretend to be the friends of the enslaved people, but they are nothing but proponents of colonialism. 86.”

“At present the colonizers are trying to maintain at all costs their domination over the last remaining small colonies, and they are resorting to various subtle tricks in order to disguise their expansionist policy of enslaving the colonial peoples. The colonial Powers under the pretence of giving "assistance" to the developing countries pursue the policy of neo-colonialism. 84. It is not surprising that now and then one hears voices, even from this rostrum, counselling the colonial and dependent people not to practise "undue haste" and take "extreme actions", and even urging them to find "common interest and agreement" with the colonizers. In this connexion, a saying springs to one's mind: "An insincere counsellor is more dangerous than an open foe". 85.”

“We also support the demand of the African countries that similar sanctions be applied against the Government of Portugal, which persistently opposes granting independence to its colonies in Africa and carries on brutal reprisals against the indigenous population. 82. Three years have elapsed since the General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples, but the shameful colonial system has yet not been obliterated from the surface of the earth. Today, more than 50 million people of our planet are still suffering under the yoke of the imperialist colonizers who have grossly ignored the provisions of that historic Declaration. 83.”

“The Conference adopted measures for rendering assistance and support to the African people still suffering under colonial oppression. In this context, the Conference itself represents a new stage in the national liberation movement of the people of this continent. 81. The Government of the Mongolian People's Republic insists on strict implementation of the decisions of the General Assembly and other United Nations organs which condemn the policy of apartheid of the racist regime of the South African Republic and which provide for application of political, economic and other sanctions against that regime.”

“At present, the heroic struggle of the people for national liberation is flaring up with fresh strength in the last remaining colonies —in Angola, so-called Portuguese Guinea, Mozambique, both Rhodesias, Nyasaland and other colonial territories and possessions. The liberation movement of the Latin American people against foreign imperialist domination is gaining momentum. 80. The Mongolian people, resolutely condemning colonialism in all its forms and manifestations, together with all peace-loving forces, consistently stand for the most speedy elimination of the disgraceful colonial system. As we indicated before, we attach great importance to the decisions reached at the Summit Conference of Independent African States in Addis Ababa.”

“This attitude has also been maintained with respect to the participation of the German Democratic Republic in' international treaties concluded through United Nations participation and we equally deplore it, since such abnormal acts in one way or another encourage those who are attempting to infringe upon the legitimate rights of this sovereign State. We consider that an end should be put to such an irregular practice which clearly runs counter to the principle of universality of the United Nations Charter. 79. The disintegration of the colonial system is entering its final phase under the impact of the national liberation movement of the peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America. More than four fifths of the peoples of Africa have broken the chains of their colonial slavery.”

“The unbending efforts of the German Democratic Republic, directed at the solution of the German question in the interests of the entire German people, at preserving peace and security in Europe and all over the world, strengthen its international prestige as a peace-loving socialist State adhering to the principles of the development of friendly co-operation between States. 78. In this connexion our delegation notes with regret the discriminatory attitude towards the German Democratic Republic, which has been in evidence up to the present moment with respect to this nation's membership and attendance at international forums held under auspices of the United Nations and of its specialized agencies.”

“The ruling circles in Bonn, who pursue the aim of altering by force the border lines established after the Second World War and who attempt to assume the right to speak on behalf of the whole of Germany, obviously do not want to accept it. The revenge-seeking claims of the ruling circles of the Federal Republic of Germany, their policy of blocking the peaceful settlement of the German question and the provocative actions of the Federal Republic of Germany against the German Democratic Republic constitute one of the main sources of difficulties which aggravate international tension in Europe. 77. The external policy of the Government of the German Democratic Republic is based on quite different principles.”

“President, I should like to comment briefly on another important problem, the positive solution of which will bring about a favourable atmosphere for preserving peace in Europe and the world over. This is the German question. 76. The position of the socialist countries on this question proceeds from the recognition of the present realities obtaining in Europe: the existence of the two sovereign German States, namely, the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany. Therefore, we strongly believe that the conclusion of a peace treaty with both German States and the solution of the West Berlin question on this basis would put an end to the vestiges of the Second World War in Europe and thus would help maintain peace and the security of nations.”

“However, judging from statements of leaders of Western Powers in general, and of the United States in particular, one would get the impression that they would prefer to discuss only measures aimed at preventing surprise attack, and to push the question of disarmament into the background. Such partial measures no doubt would promote some improvement in the international situation. However, our delegation would like to stress here that the people of all countries demand not partial agreements on limited problems but the implementation of general and complete disarmament, which is the only guarantee of lasting peace on earth. 75. With your permission, Mr.”

“Positive solution of this question, in our opinion, will in its turn create a better atmosphere for measures towards the freezing and eventual cutting of military budgets of States, the reduction of foreign troops stationed in West Germany and in the German Democratic Republic, the preventing of surprise attack and so on. Now the world is anxious to see how the Western Powers will respond to these new proposals of the Soviet Union, 73. Our delegation hopes that the Western Powers, taking into account the existing realities of today's world and the interests of preserving peace and security of nations, will take positive steps towards bringing these proposals to a realization. 74.”

“This position taken by the Soviet Union deserves serious consideration. 71. As we are all aware, the Government of the Soviet Union submitted recently a number of other proposals directed at further relaxation of international tension and the creation of a favourable climate for the attainment of the main goal: general and complete disarmament. In particular, it has proposed the conclusion of a non-aggression pact between member states of NATO and member states of the Warsaw Treaty Organization. This proposal is of far-reaching significance under the present circumstances obtaining in Europe, where troops of all the big nuclear Powers of the two military groupings face one another. 72.”

“Accordingly, our delegation gives its full support to the new proposal made at the present session by the delegation of the Soviet Union [1208th meeting] to convoke in the first quarter or the first half of 1964 a conference of the Member States of the Eighteen-Nation Committee on Disarmament at the highest level. In our opinion such a meeting undoubtedly would greatly benefit the work of this Committee by paving the way towards composing mutually acceptable practical measures on disarmament, which is the main purpose of the Committee. The Soviet Government has expressed its readiness to agree to the retention by the Soviet Union and the United States of a limited number of missiles on their own territories, not only until the end of the second stage of disarmament but until the end of the third stage.”

“In the view of the Mongolian delegation the step-by-step programme of disarmament proposed by the Soviet Union in its draft treaty on general and complete disarmament, as well as the additions and changes introduced at a later stage, are of a truly constructive nature and directed toward genuine implementation of general and complete disarmament. 70. It is regrettable, however, to note that there is still no progress in the work of the Eighteen-Nation Committee on Disarmament. The Western Powers continue to adhere to their old stand in the negotiations in this Committee. People throughout the world demand that the earliest possible concrete progress be made in the accomplishment of general and complete disarmament.”

“The position of the Government of the Mongolian People's Republic with respect to the problem of general and complete disarmament was clearly expressed in the statements made by our delegations at previous General Assembly sessions. Our Government has firmly supported the proposals of the Soviet Union which provide for constructive measures for the implementation of general and complete disarmament. These proposals suggest that at the first stage of general and complete disarmament there should be the liquidation of nuclear weapons delivering vehicles coupled with the simultaneous dismantling of all foreign military bases and withdrawal of troops from foreign soil. 69.”

“Having in view these noble ends, we believe that efforts should be renewed to reach agreement on the discontinuance of underground nuclear weapon tests in accordance with the explicitly expressed spirit of the Moscow Treaty. The reaching of such an accord would represent yet another step towards the achievement of agreement on general and complete disarmament —the cardinal problem of the present time. The creation of denuclearized zones in different parts of the world, and the conclusion of an international agreement preventing further dissemination of nuclear weapons would also promote the solution of this vital problem. 68.”

“The delegation of the Mongolian People's Republic shares the view expressed by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, U Thant, in the introduction to his annual report on the work of the United Nations [A/5507/Add.l] that if the Treaty banning nuclear weapon tests is followed by agreement on other measures aimed at lessening international tension and establishing confidence among States, it may be the beginning of a new era of better understanding between nations and may create a more favourable international climate that would facilitate progress towards general and complete disarmament and the goal of stable international peace and security which remains the primary purpose of the United Nations. 67.”

“Cuba desires to live in peace and friendship with all neighbouring States on the basis of the principles of peaceful coexistence. The interests of maintaining peace and security in this region of the Western hemisphere demand that the United States of America and other States should not interfere in the internal affairs of the Republic of Cuba and should observe international obligations of non-aggression against that country. 66.”

“To consolidate the initial successes on the way to the improvement of the international atmosphere and to strengthening world peace is, we believe, a paramount task of the present session of the General Assembly. 65. This task is especially momentous in the light of the fact that proponents of the cold war and foes of peace and the freedom of nations are making their attempts in different parts of the world to aggravate the international situation. We cite as a striking instance of this the piratical attacks of the Cuban counterrevolutionaries, aided and abetted by reactionary forces from outside, against the freedom and independence of the Republic of Cuba, whose heroic peoples have chosen their way to a brighter and happier life. Cuba does not threaten anyone.”

“May we add at this juncture that we consider that peaceful negotiation between the parties concerned is the only correct means of solving any border dispute between States. 63. Our delegation attaches great significance to the Summit Conference of Independent African States held at Addis Ababa in May 1963. This Conference played a definite role in consolidating the unity of the peoples of this great continent. If confirmed, moreover, the aspirations of its participants to improve the atmosphere of international relations and to bring about the positive solution of burning international issues such as the denuclearization of the African continent and the attainment, on a world scale, of general and complete disarmament. 64.”

“The achievement of understanding between the USSR and the United States on the establishment of a direct line of communications between Moscow and Washington [see A/ 5488, annex 1] and on the further steps of co-operation between these two countries in the field of peaceful exploration of outer space deserve special mention. 60. The Government of the Mongolian People's Republic notes with satisfaction that peace-loving nations continue to bend their efforts within and without the United Nations toward the easing of international tension and the strengthening of mutual confidence among States. 61. In this connexion we recall the efforts of the six non-aligned countries of Asia and Africa which made the well-known mediatory proposal with respect to the peaceful settlement of the border dispute between China and India. 62.”

“The Mongolian delegation, therefore, deems it appropriate that the present session of the General Assembly should approve in proper form the Moscow Treaty, which has been signed by the overwhelming majority of Member States of the United Nations, as the first step in the direction of total disarmament. 59. In addition to the above-mentioned circumstances conducive to the lessening of international tension, I should like to recall a number of other events which were also of certain help to the creation of the atmosphere which prevails at this session.”

“The Government of the Mongolian People's Republic, whose foreign policy rests on the principles of peaceful coexistence, expressing the aspirations of the Mongolian people and realizing the importance of banning nuclear weapon tests, was among the first signatories to this Treaty, signing it on 8 August 1963 simultaneously in Moscow and in London. 57. Our delegation is of the opinion that this Treaty does not remove the danger of a thermo-nuclear war, nor does it release mankind from the heavy burdens of an arms race. Nevertheless, we hall it as an initial step toward the positive solution of one of the most crucial problems of our time: the problem of disarmament. 58.”

“What is noteworthy here is that States with differing social systems could overcome their differences and find a mutually acceptable solution to this international problem. This instance confirms the fact that in the presence of goodwill, States involved in differences can achieve success in the settlement of International disputes by way of negotiation. The acceptance of the nuclear test ban treaty by an increasing number of States testifies to the vitality of the principles of peaceful coexistence. 56.”

“It is with great gratification that we now make reference to another signal event. The conclusion of the Moscow Treaty banning nuclear weapon tests in the atmosphere, in outer space and under water by the Soviet Union, the United States and the United Kingdom, and the accession by the overwhelming majority of States of the world to this Treaty represents an important step on the way to international "détente" and to the strengthening of world peace. 55. The conclusion of this Treaty constitutes a new victory for the policy of peaceful coexistence, consistently pursued by the socialist countries, and a notable contribution to the improving of mutual trust and understanding among nations.”

“The peaceful solution of this crisis, thanks to the well-considered and reasonable policy of the Government of the Soviet Union and thanks to the efforts of peace-loving forces, was an event of great international significance which took place in the period between the last and the present sessions of the General Assembly. In this connexion, our delegation would like to emphasize here the great importance, not only of the fact that this acute crisis was itself liquidated, but also and especially the importance of that spirit of compromise and reason which was displayed in the peaceful solution of the crisis. It is this spirit of constructive approach which has opened new avenues for the further positive encounter with other burning issues of international relations. 54.”

“Allow me, first of all, Mr. President, to congratulate you warmly on your election to the high post of President of the eighteenth session of the General Assembly. 51. As many previous speakers have rightly observed, the eighteenth session of the General Assembly of the United Nations is starting its work in more favourable circumstances than the seventeenth session. 52. As we are well aware, the previous session of the General Assembly was overshadowed by the very grave crisis in the Caribbean, which brought mankind to the brink of a thermo-nuclear catastrophe. 53.”
