“My Government continues to support the struggle of the Korean people for the peaceful and democratic reunification of their country, without outside interference. 134. The interests of the Afghan people and those of peace in Asia call for resolute action to defeat efforts to escalate the undeclared war against the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. The constructive proposals of the Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan pave the way for a political settlement of the situation around Afghanistan created by the hostile acts of imperialist forces and their accomplices. Once again we express our hope that the dialogue between the representatives of Afghanistan and Pakistan through the good offices of the representative of the Secretary General will yield positive results. 135.”

“The Government of the Mongolian People's Republic consistently supports the proposals of Viet Nam, Laos and Kampuchea for turning Southeast Asia into a zone of peace, stability and good neighbourliness. It resolutely opposes any attempt to use the United Nations as a cover-up for interference in the internal affairs of the People's Republic of Kampuchea and stands for the speedy granting to that country of its legitimate seat in this world Organization. 133. We believe that, in the light of the present tense situation in the Far East, the proposals of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on the immediate withdrawal of United States troops and of nuclear weapons from the south of Korea and on easing tensions in the Korean peninsula and around it assume greater relevance.”

“The Mongolian People's Republic fully supports the stand of the Lao People's Democratic Republic, set forth in the statement of its Ministry for Foreign Affairs issued on 13 June 1984, as well as in the White Book of the Government of the Lao People's Democratic Republic published last month. The crux of the matter and its root causes were exposed with great lucidity in the statement of Mr. Phoun Sipra-seuth, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Lao People's Democratic Republic, here in the General Assembly last week . 132. We continue to hold the view that the problems of Southeast Asia can and must be resolved by the States of the region through constructive dialogue without any outside interference.”

“The so-called parallel actions of the imperialist and hegemonist forces often contribute to such developments, 130. A tense situation continues to exist in Southeast Asia as a result of the intrigues of those circles, which are not willing to accept the new realities in that region. The situation is further aggravated by armed inroads by China on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, by the hostile actions of Thailand against the popular order in Kampuchea and by its recent open armed aggression against the Lao People's Democratic Republic, which resulted in the occupation of a part of its territory. 131.”

“Those lessons are most instructive. This is evidenced, for example, by the events that took place 45 years ago on the very eve of the Second World War. In 1939 Japanese militarism met with a powerful rebuff when it violated the independence and territorial integrity of our country with a view to carrying out its plan to create a pan Asian empire of Japan. Frustration of the adventurist designs of the Japanese militarists by the combined operation of the Soviet and Mongolian armed forces in the region of the Khalkhyn Gol river dealt a hard blow to the aggressive strategic schemes of the forces of fascism and reaction. 129. The existing hotbeds of tension and conflict are being further exacerbated while new ones are being created on the continent.”

“The United States has taken to turning many parts of the continent into launching grounds for nuclear missile forces. Particular danger lies in the fact that, with the participation of its Asian accomplices, Washington has begun to establish a new base for a nuclear missile first strike directed against the socialist countries and other peace-loving States of the continent. 127. Intensified efforts have been made to create new military and political groupings and alliances. The Washington Tokyo Seoul triangle is conceived of as the crux of these projected formations. 128. Overt military and revanchist tendencies are making themselves felt once again in that part of the world, especially in Japan, which is being integrated more and more into the NATO bloc. Today, some tend to forget the lessons of history.”

“Gromyko, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, for discussion at the current session of the General Assembly, is designed to prohibit, once and for all, the use of force in outer space and to safeguard mankind against the use of means of mass destruction from outer space. Early agreement on the prevention of the militarization of this vitally important area would open the way for joint efforts by States to use outer space for peaceful purposes. My delegation expresses its hope that the General Assembly will call upon all States with a large potential of space technology, primarily the United States and the Soviet Union, to open negotiations on this question without delay. 126. The situation in Asia has become increasingly complex and tense.”
1984-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 39 (1984)
“The relations between the nuclear Powers play a particularly important role in improving the international climate. The Government of the Mongolian People's Republic supports the Soviet proposal that an agreement be reached on joint recognition of concrete norms in the relations between the nuclear States and on measures to make them binding. We consider it necessary for this timely proposal to be embodied in the resolutions of the present session of the General Assembly. 125. The proposal on the "Use of outer space exclusively for peaceful purposes for the benefit of mankind" made by Mr. Andrei A.”

“Implementation of the proposal for a quantitative and qualitative freeze on the nuclear weapon arsenals of all nuclear States would constitute an important step in that direction. In this connection, the Mongolian People's Republic has expressed its support for the Joint Declaration of Heads of State and Government of Argentina, Greece, India, Mexico, Sweden and the United Republic of Tanzania, in which they appealed to the nuclear Powers to begin limiting and reducing nuclear weapons. 123. The Soviet United States talks on the limitation and reduction of strategic weapons are of extreme importance for lessening the danger of a nuclear war. The United States should withdraw the first strike nuclear missiles deployed in some Western European countries so that the negotiations on this vitally important issue may be resumed. 124.”
1984-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 39 (1984)
“Of special importance is the proposal for the renunciation of first use of nuclear weapons by all the nuclear Powers that have not yet done so. As urgent as ever is the proposal for the conclusion of a treaty on the mutual non-use of military force and the maintenance of peaceful relations between the States Parties to the Warsaw Treaty and the States Parties to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO]. The Moscow Declaration of the States Members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance places special emphasis on the importance of maintaining military and political parity at a progressively lower level and of pursuing constructive negotiations on the limitation of the arms race and on disarmament, on the basis of strict observance of the principle of equality and equal security. 122.”

“Constructive measures for overcoming the dangerous situation in the world have been proposed in the Political Declaration adopted by the Political Consultative Committee of the States Parties to the Warsaw Treaty at Prague on 5 January 1983, and in the Declaration adopted at the high level Economic Conference of the States members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, held in Moscow from 12 to 14 June 1984. 121. These documents contain a whole set of measures for the prevention of a nuclear catastrophe and for the reduction and ultimate liquidation of nuclear weapons. Proposals have also been made with a view to creating favourable conditions for the adoption of such measures and for the promotion of confidence among States.”
1984-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 39 (1984)
“The ranks of the forces fighting for peace are becoming ever wider. The overwhelming majority of States throughout the world, among them the nonaligned countries, are actively in favour of relaxing international tension and against the use of coercion in interstate relations. The mass anti-war and anti-nuclear movement continues to grow in scope and to intensify in different parts of the world. It is important that realistic statesmen and political leaders in the Western countries are increasingly speaking out against preparations for war. 120.”

“The Government of the Mongolian People's Republic proceeds from the premise that, however complex the international situation may be, it is possible to prevent war through concerted action on the part of the peace-loving forces. 118. Mr. Jambyn Batmunkh, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and Chairman of the Presidium of the Khural of the Mongolian People's Republic, has stated that: "The constructive initiatives and the concerted foreign policy activities of the Soviet Union and other socialist countries inspire in the peoples the confidence that peace can be safeguarded. The guarantee of this is the further strengthening of the economic and defence potential of the socialist community and the consolidation in every way of efforts of all the peace-loving forces." 119.”

“Imperialist forces, in collusion with the racist regime of Pretoria, step up their intrigues against the independence and territorial integrity of the People's Republic of Angola, the People's Republic of Mozambique and other frontline States in Africa. All this clearly testifies to the timeliness of the proposal submitted by the Soviet Union for the inclusion in the agenda of the present session of an item entitled "Inadmissibility of the policy of State terrorism and any actions by States aimed at undermining the socio-political system in other sovereign States" . The General Assembly is duty-bound to pronounce itself resolutely in favour of the cessation of the policy of State terrorism as a method of dealing with other countries and peoples. 117.”
1984-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 39 (1984)
“The independence of Grenada has been crushed only because the people of that small country wish to have a social order that is not to Washington's liking. For the same reason, the United States Administration thinks nothing of resorting to gross interference in the internal affairs of the Republic of Nicaragua, or of committing open aggression against it. It was with strong condemnation that the world community learned about the latest preparations for an armed attack against that country, made in total disregard of the constructive attitude of the Sandinist Government and the peace efforts of the Contadora Group. 116. Threats, blackmail and subversion against the Republic of Cuba persist, and attempts are being made to destabilize its socialist order.”
1984-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 39 (1984)
“Similar measures are being taken in Asia, especially in the northeast, in the immediate vicinity of the frontiers of the socialist community. In the Pentagon, the "Star Wars" scenarios are translated into practical policy, and measures to implement the notorious concept of "protracted nuclear war" are being developed. 114. All this is followed by actions aimed at undermining the foundations of the post war settlement and disrupting the agreements on limiting the arms race and on disarmament. 115. In its attack on peace, national independence and the social progress of peoples, the United States nurtures and exploits the forces of militarism, revanchism, zionism and racism everywhere. State terrorism and brute force go hand in hand with direct armed aggression.”
1984-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 39 (1984)
“Effective measures are needed to safeguard the right of peoples to peace and the right of States to security. 112. The extremely grave situation prevailing in the world is characterized by the mounting threat of a nuclear war. The most aggressive imperialist circles, and primarily the United States Administration, have taken a course of confrontation vis-à-vis real socialism and are bent on mounting an open offensive against the forces of national and social liberation. 113. Washington seeks to achieve military superiority over the socialist world. The deployment of United States first strike nuclear weapons in some countries of Western Europe constitutes a dangerous step towards material preparation for a war against the socialist countries.”

“Sir, allow me to congratulate you sincerely on your unanimous election to the high post of President of the General Assembly at its thirty-ninth session. It is our confident hope that your vast experience in the diplomatic service and in United Nations activities will surely contribute to the success of the work of the present session to the benefit of peace, security and the progress of nations. 110. The Mongolian delegation warmly congratulates Brunei Darussalam on its admission to the membership of this world body. 111. The United Nations, which came into being in the aftermath of the most devastating war in history, has declared as its main objective "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war". Today, this vital task of ensuring the peaceful advancement of mankind has assumed particular urgency.”

“In the same spirit the Government of the Mongolian People’s Republic reiterates its stand in favour of stimulating the activities of the United Nations and its principal organ the Security Council, which bears the main responsibility for the maintenance of collective security on the basis of strict observance of the provisions of the Charter. My delegation will be guided by this policy in its participation in the work of the present session.”

“We resolutely reject any actions and deals directed towards arbitrary utilization of the world’s oceans and their resources in evasion or in violation of the provisions of that Convention. In conclusion, the Mongolian delegation wishes to emphasize once again the urgent need to adopt measures on the implementation of the Declaration on the Strengthening of International Security enhancing the effectiveness of the principle of renunciation of the use of force or the threat of its use in international relations.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“The Government of the Mongolian People’s Republic condemns the attempts of imperialist Powers to use trade and other forms of economic ties as instruments of their aggressive policy. Such a course undermines the very foundation of international economic cooperation and results in increasing tension in the world. My delegation believes that the comprehensive United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea meets the interests of all countries and can contribute significantly to the cause of strengthening peaceful cooperation among States in the vast space of the world’s oceans. The Mongolian People’s Republic advocates the signing of the Convention by all States and its speedy entry into force.”

“Economic relations between imperialist Powers on the one hand and developing countries on the other are characterized by exploitation and plundering of the latter. That is the main reason for the constant deterioration of the social and economic situation in newly liberated States. The leading Western Powers disregard the just demands of developing countries for a restructuring of international economic relations, and they are preventing the implementation of progressive provisions of such important United Nations documents as the Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States and the Declaration and Programme of Action on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order The Mongolian People’s Republic is in favour of the democratic reshaping of international economic relations and of economic decolonization.”

“Moreover, it is opposed to making Micronesia a colonial possession. The Mongolian people condemns the growing intrigues against revolutionary Nicaragua and the patriotic forces of El Salvador. Imperialism’s neocolonialist strategy assigns an important place to attempts at splitting the OAU, which plays an important role in the struggle for peace, freedom and independence on the African continent. The Mongolian delegation expresses the hope that the Tripoli declaration of 8 August 1982 will promote the cause of consolidating the ranks of the OAU. The pernicious effects of neo colonialism are clearly shown in the economic policies of imperialist Powers towards developing countries.”

“There should be no artificial conditions or linkages. In that connection, the Government of the Mongolian People’s Republic most emphatically condemns Pretoria’s aggressive intrigues against the People’s Republic of Angola, Mozambique and other frontline States. The events in the South Atlantic have vividly demonstrated the danger posed to peace by the continued existence of any colonial possessions, even the smallest and remotest. At the same time, those events emphasized the urgent need to complete the process of decolonization. My delegation considers that the problem of the Malvinas Islands should be solved only through negotiations and on the basis of the relevant United Nations resolutions on the decolonization of that Territory. The Mongolian People’s Republic supports the granting of independence to Puerto Rico.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“We consider as timely the appeal to refrain from any steps likely to complicate the situation in that region. A danger to international peace is posed by remnants of colonialism and by the neocolonialist intrigues of imperialist forces. The racist Pretoria regime, relying on the support of imperialist circles, is seeking to perpetuate in one way or another its domination in Namibia, and it systematically commits acts of aggression against neighboring countries. In our view, the Assembly at this session should once again speak out in favour of the imposition of comprehensive sanctions against South Africa. Like other countries, the Mongolian People’s Republic is in favour of the immediate granting of independence to the people of Namibia through its legitimate representative, SWAPO, on the basis of United Nations resolutions.”

“We in the Mongolian; People’s Republic hope that the efforts of the representatives of nonaligned States, which deserve encouragement and support will bring about a peaceful securement of the conflict between Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Iran and create conditions for the establishment of peaceful relations in that important part of western Asia. Naturally, we realize that the implementation of cur initiative will require time and painstaking efforts. My delegation, on behalf of the Mongolian Government, wishes to express its gratitude to all Governments which support our initiative. The Mongolian People’s Republic has consistently supported the efforts of nonaligned countries to turn the Indian Ocean into a zone of peace, and we favour the convening of an international conference on this issue in 1983.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“I should like to stress here that the Mongolian proposal is not a mere repetition of the obligation not to use force undertaken by States in accordance with the Charter. It has as its aim the realistic implementation of that principle, with due regard for the multifaceted practices and the specific features of interState relations in Asia. In spite of some assertions, the existence of many unresolved problems in Asia proves that our proposal is timely. It is clear that efforts for the peaceful resolution of conflict situations between individual States or in different regions specifically require the adoption of measures to exclude the use of force.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“Against the background of the present situation in the Far East, the proposal made by the Soviet Union concerning the drafting and implementation of confidence building measures in that region is of great importance. The proposal made by the Govern ment of the Mongolian People’s Republic on the conclusion of a convention on mutual nonaggression and nonuse of force in relations between the States of Asia and the Pacific is in keeping with this and other initiatives. The very purpose of our initiative is to proscribe the use of force in interState relations, which would strengthen mutual understanding and trust in order that all disputes can be settled by peaceful means alone. We consider that dialogue and negotiations constitute the only reasonable way to solve problems of peace and the security of States.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“That calls for the active involvement of Asian States in the struggle for strengthening peace and security on that continent. My delegation notes with satisfaction that a number of Asian countries are advancing constructive ideas and proposals. The proposal made on 24 August 1981 by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan points the way to the solution of the situation which has arisen around Afghanistan on the basis of respect for the sovereignty, independence and democratic achievements of the Afghan people. In that context the Mongolian People’s Republic welcomed the meetings between the representatives of Afghanistan and Pakistan, held through the good offices of the Secretary General.”

“Those proposals and steps demonstrating good will are conducive to the creation of a spirit of mutual trust and of favourable conditions for strengthening peace and security in the region and for developing good neighborly relations and peaceful cooperation between the countries of Indo China and those of ASEAN. The Mongolian People’s Republic has consistently supported the just struggle of the Korean people for the peaceful and democratic reunification of its country, and for the withdrawal of United States troops and nuclear facilities from South Korea. At present the situation in Asia is being aggravated still further by the fact that the expansionist and militarist circles of certain major Powers of that continent are being drawn more and more into the orbit of United States military and political strategy.”

“A so calted coalition Government of nonexistent Democratic Kampuchea was knocked together and serves as a camouflage for attempts to revive the Pol Pot regime, on whose conscience lies bloody genocide against its own people. This is a new machination not only against the peoples of Indo China but also against peace and security in South East Asia as a whole. The Mongolian People’s Republic firmly believes that all the problems of South East Asia should be resolved by the States of that region themselves, through constructive dialogue and without any outside interference. The initiatives taken by Viet Nam, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and the People’s Republic of Kampuchea in July of this year at the conference held in Ho Chi Minh City are constructive and directed to that end.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“For many years the situation in South East Asia has remained highly tense. The reason for that, we strongly believe, lies in the policy and practices of the imperialisms and their accomplices, who, in pursuance of their so called parallel strategic interests, seek to alter which emerged in Indo China as a result of the triumphant struggle of the peoples of Viet Nam, Laos and Kampuchea against imperialist aggression. At the same time attempts are being made to incite the countries of the Association of South East Asian Nations to engage in confrontation against the three countries of Indo China and to have ASEAN transformed into a military political bloc. Quite recently a new manoeuvre concerning Kampuchea was undertaken.”

“The Mongolian Copies Republic, like the overwhelming majority of States, advocates a comprehensive settlement of the Middle East problem with the participation of all the parties concerned, including the PLO the legitimate representative of the Arab people of Palestine on the basis of ensuring its right to create a national State of its own. Therefore my Government supports the proposal made by the Soviet Union on 15 September this year, which takes into account the latest developments in the Middle East. The Government of the Mongolian People’s Republic regards as positive the declaration of the Twelfth Arab Summit Conference, held at Fez, and regards it as a basis which would contribute to uniting the Arab world in the interest of settling the Middle East problem.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“Developments: the Middle East during the past several months prove that a delay in the settlement of so called local conflicts is fraught with dangerous consequences for the cause of universal peace. The armed aggression against Lebanon and the massacre in west Beirut are the direct aftermath of the Camp David deal and of the so called United States Israeli strategic cooperation. The Government of the Mongolian People’s Republic in its statement of 22 September this year resolutely condemned Israel’s acts of aggression and genocide in Lebanon and stated anew that the responsibility for the atrocities must be borne by Tel Aviv and its United States patrons. The Mongolian People’s Republic demands the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon and from all occupied Arab territories.”

“My Government commends the efforts by the neutral and nonaligned States taking part in the meeting that are aimed at working out a generally acceptable final document. It hopes that the meeting will succeed in adopting a decision to convene a conference on confidence building measures and disarmament in Europe and taking other towards consolidating the spirit of the Helsinki Final Act. My delegation believes that a settlement of the Cyprus problem on the basis of the relevant United Nations decisions and the principles of respect for the national independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus is of great importance for the cause of peace and stability in Europe. In Asia the largest number of hotbeds of tension and armed conflicts continue to exist.”

“Among the measures for strengthening universal peace and security, the Government of the Mongolian People’s Republic attaches great significance to the Vienna Talks on Mutual Reduction of Forces; Armaments and Associated Measures in Central Europe. The achievement of positive results in those talks would have a favourable effect on the improvement of relations between East and West and on the international situation as a whole. A realistic approach is required of the Western partners to the constructive proposals of the socialist countries so as to pave the way for achieving progress in this field. The same stand is taken by the Mongolian People’s Republic in its approach to the Madrid meeting of the participants in the Conference on Security and Co operation in Europe which was held at Helsinki in 1975.”

“The Mongolian People’s Republic is in favour of intensifying the efforts of the Committee on Disarmament so as to complete the elaboration of an international convention on the prohibition of chemical weapons and on their destruction. Actions aimed at spreading the arms race to outer space are becoming more and more ominous. The Mongolian People’s Republic is endeavouring in every way possible to bring about an early start of the work of the Committee on Disarmament on the elaboration of the text of an international treaty on the prohibition of the deployment of weapons of any kind in outer space.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“The talks between the Soviet Union and the United States on the limitation and reduction of strategic arms, as well as medium range nuclear missiles in Europe, are of decisive significance as regards a wide range of disarmament problems. Those talks, which concern the very core of the global strategic situation, will be successful provided that the two parties strictly observe the principle of equality and equal security. Attempts to evade that principle in particular, manoeuvres such as the zero option are the main obstacle to reaching mutually acceptable agreements. The problem of the elimination of chemical weapons has of late become especially acute. It stems from the decision adopted by Washington to accelerate the development and manufacture of new types of this barbaric weapon including binary weapons.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“The Government of the Mongolian People’s Republic regards as timely and important the new initiative of the Soviet Union on intensification of efforts to remove the threat of nuclear war and ensure the safe development of nuclear energy. It is essential to block firmly a new channel which could result in incidents of nuclear catastrophe. The General Assembly, in the spirit of its Declaration on the Prevention of Nuclear Catastrophe, should, as proposed by theSoviet Union, declare the destruction of peaceful nuclear facilities, even by means of conventional weapons, to be equivalent to an attack carried out with the use of nuclear weapons. Such an action, as we know, would be termed a crime against humanity.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“The same goal is then pursued by the Soviet Union, which clearly expressed its readiness to ratify at any time, on a reciprocal basis, the Soviet United States treaties on the limitation of underground nuclear weapon tests and on nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes, as well as to resume tripartite negotiations. This position of the Soviet Union is in glaring contrast to the recent decision of the United States Administration not to resume tripartite negotiations, which has given rise to concern in the world community. The carrying out of a comprehensive ban on nuclear weapon tests is of special significance in putting an end to the technological arms race, preventing the production of new types of nuclear weapons, including neutron weapons.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“We consider that the new proposal submitted by the Soviet delegation at this session rightly supplements the aforementioned initiative of historic significance. The proposal and the relevant document on the immediate cessation and prohibition of nuclear weapon tests seeks to speed up the stagnant negotiations in this field. The new draft of basic provisions of a treaty on the complete and general prohibition of nuclear weapon tests constructively reflects the views and observations of other States on this matter, in the verification issues, and thus undoubtedly improves the chances for a positive outcome of negotiations. The proposal to set a moratorium on any nuclear explosions, starting from an agreed date until the treaty is concluded, can create favourable conditions for achieving this vital goal.”

“And this year that programme was again reaffirmed in Bonn, at the highest level of the NATO alliance, during the second special session devoted to disarmament. The peace programme for the 1980s put forward by the Soviet Union and the constructive initiatives of socialist countries envisage practical measures to curb the arms race and to remove the threat of a nuclear holocaust. Under the present circumstances, the extremely far reaching and bold step of the Soviet Union is the obligation, unilaterally assumed by the Soviet Union at the second special session of the General Assembly on disarmament, not to be the first to use nuclear weapons. We believe that at the present session the Assembly should call upon other nuclear Powers to do likewise.”

“We give due credit also to the realistic approach of sober minded statesmen in Western countries who stand for the maintenance and development of mutually beneficial relations between East and West and for the preservation and strengthening of detente. The intensified mass antiwar movement in the world is an important factor that promotes the objectives of the United Nations in maintaining international peace and security. Meanwhile the following striking example reveals the attitude of major imperialist Powers these objectives of the United Nations. At the very moment that the first special session of the General Assembly on disarmament was under way in 1978 here in New York, a long term programme of an arms buildup by NATO was adopted nearby in Washington.”

“The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which celebrates its sixtieth anniversary this year, is thebulwark of all the peace loving, democratic and revolutionary forces. The peace loving policy and constructive initiative of the socialist community have a favourable and stabilizing impact on the world situation and actively promote United Nations activities for the maintenance of peace and international cooperation. Here I should like to note also the influential role played by the nonaligned movement in consolidating peace and security and in restructuring international relations on an anti imperialist and anti colonialist basis.”

“History knows such tactics. Immediately after the victory of the October Revolution, an armed intervention of 14 capitalist States under the slogan of fight against the communist threat was launched against the young Soviet Republic. And nowadays attempts to undermine the very foundations of the socialist system in the countries of socialism are not abandoned, which is evidenced by the aggressive intrigues against the Polish People’s Republic and the Republic of Cuba. But socialism has withstood imperialist assaults and invasions and has now become so strong as to exert a decisive influence on world events and to serve as a stronghold of peace, national independence and the social progress of nations. This is an historic gain of lasting importance for the future of mankind.”

“In order to conceal their expansionist ambitions, some offer assurances that their country would never become a super Power. In order to divert the attention of the public from their own country’s increasing military potential and from its reviving militarism, others assert that their country would never become a military Power. The rewriting of textbooks and historical documents in order to whitewash the past criminal acts of the militarists is another case in point. But the main thing is that the militaristic circles of imperialism are covering up their attempts to strike at the socialist community by coarse slander directed against the peaceful nature of the socialist system. The clamour about the nonexistent Soviet military threat is designed to justify the organization of a crusade against the real socialism.”

“Detente and the principles of peaceful coexistence are being renounced outright. Force and sanctions have become the principal instruments of foreign policy. Attempts are being made to undermine the very fabric of international relations. Resort to blackmail, deceit and hypocrisy have become all too common. Rhetorical statements about peace and stability camouflage the actions taken to destabilize the situation in various regions, to sow distrust and enmity among peoples and States. Under the pretext of safeguarding vital interests and national security, blatant interference in the internal affairs of States, as well as acts of aggression and even genocide by proxies, are being perpetrated. I should like to note here that such tricks are also practised by certain circles on our Asian continent.”

“At this thirty seventh session the Assembly faces the urgent tasks of lessening international tension and reducing the threat of nuclear war. The world situation has acutely deteriorated as a result of adventurist actions of the most aggressive circles of imperialism, which have set their narrow selfish aims against the onward march of history. In particular, the military industrial complex of the United States of America is seeking to impose the domination of American imperialism over the whole world and to establish everywhere an order solely to its liking. The arms race is being intensified on an unprecedented scale with a view to upsetting the existing military and strategic balance to the detriment of the interests of universal peace and security. Designs are being nurtured for waging limited or protracted nuclear wars.”
