“Peace and the national reconciliation that had eluded Cambodia for so long has been restored to this land of ancient civilization. Landmark agreements on the prohibition of chemical weapons and on the reduction of nuclear armaments have been concluded. In the meantime, it is clear that old, deep-seated problems still await solutions and new ones, once held in check by the circumstances of the time, are emerging. Indeed, no tangible progress has been registered in addressing the issues of poverty, external debt, drugs, organized crime, the widening gap between the affluent and the poor, and environmental crises. Though the cold war is over, the "hot wars" have multiplied. Suffice it to mention the continuing tragedies of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Somalia, Nagorny-Karabakh and Abkhazia.”

“The new democracies are making headway in the face of the formidable difficulties of transition. Recent events in Russia are ample evidence of this. We are confident that the democratic forces, led by President Yeltsin, will overcome the present ordeal and succeed in their endeavours. The significance for the region and the entire world of the success of Russia’s reforms can hardly be overemphasized. Furthermore, solutions are being found even to the most protracted regional conflicts. The recent historic act of mutual recognition between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the interim peace agreement are a case in point. We hope that this will lead to a just and comprehensive solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. An important breakthrough towards democracy and a multiracial society in South Africa has been made.”

“At the outset, permit me to offer to you, Sir, my delegation’s sincere congratulations on your unanimous election to the presidency of the forty-eighth session of the General Assembly. Your professional experience as your country’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations will undoubtedly be an asset in our important deliberations. We pay tribute to your predecessor, Mr. Stoyan Ganev, for his dedicated service. We applaud the Secretary-General, Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, for his bold and tireless efforts to strengthen the world Organization. We warmly welcome the new Members and wish them well. A retrospective look at developments since the end of the cold war reveals the complexity of advancing towards a new fabric of international relations. On the one hand, the spirit of cooperation and interaction is becoming prevalent.”

“We join in the words of gratitude that the representatives of many countries have addressed to the Secretary-General, Mr. Javier Perez de Cuellar, who will before long have accomplished his mission in that office. His activities in that post have been marked constant and visionary search and by creative initiative, and are truly deserving of our high commendation.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“I should like to mention here that on my country's initiative important documents on such issues as the right of peoples to peace. Disarmament Week, to foster the objectives of disarmament, and International Literacy Year, as well as on a number of other issues relating to social and economic development, have been adopted by the United Nations and the organizations in its system. It is important to emphasize here that for us the United Nations is no longer an arena of ideological rivalry and confrontation. We see in it a genuine centre for harmonizing and coordinating the actions of nations in the attainment of common goals. The Mongolian delegation holds that the proposals put forward by the representatives of various countries in favour of improving this Organization merit the most careful and thorough consideration.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“We will further strengthen our solidarity with the developing countries and continue to cooperate with than in resolving our common tasks and problems. It is precisely for this reason that Mongolia recently joined the Non-Aligned Movement. In so doing, we also ware proceeding from the premise that the historic mission of the Movement is far from being completed and that its positive role in international affairs will continue to endure. This year will mark the thirtieth anniversary since the admission of the Mongolian People's Republic to the United Nations. During these years, Mongolia has endeavoured to make its contribution to United Nations efforts towards maintaining peace and strengthening international understanding and cooperation.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“Today Mongolian foreign policy is completely cleared of the ideological components that until recently had a strong impact on it. The Mongolian People's Republic is willing to develop equal, mutually beneficial relations with all countries, on the basis of respect for sovereignty, free choice of social development, and non-interference in the internal affairs of each other. We shall exert every effort to further strengthen our all-round close ties with our two great neighbours - the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. Mongolia is open to expansion of its relations with the developed countries in various fields. Today we can say that a good start has been made in certain directions. In general, a lot has to be done to reveal and take advantage of mutual opportunities to develop relations.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“In the near future, credits will be provided by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, which Mongolia joined this year. Such assistance and credits will be of great help in solving pressing problems. But that is not the end of the matter. We also regard this as an expression of effective support for our democratic reforms. In this context, I should like, on behalf of the Mongolian Government, to express deep gratitude to all those who have given our reforms firm moral, political, material and other support. While tackling the urgent tasks of today, we are at the same time laying down the foundations for tomorrow's development. From this point of view, the development of cooperation with other States is of great importance, and our foreign policy is directed towards this end.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“All these factors have slowed down production, have led to an increase in unemployment and excessive inflation, and have had other negative consequences. The country is experiencing an acute shortage of financial resources. In particular, this gives rise to serious difficulties in supplying the population with food and consumer goods, and industry with raw materials and spare parts. A near-total lack of the qualified personnel required to carry out economic reforms both in management and in organization, as well as in technology, poses a very serious problem. Unfortunately we are not in a position to solve these problems on our own; we have to seek outside assistance. I should say that we are already receiving such assistance from Japan, the United States and other countries.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“The Government is taking energetic steps to put the country on the rails of a market economy. A great many acts have been drafted and enacted for the purpose of securing the legal basis for the development of market relations. The process of privatising State property is gaining momentum. The prices of goods and services have, in general, been liberalised. A new banking system has been introduced. A stock exchange is being established. Favourable conditions are being created for the private sector - private enterprise, and so forth. However, the resolution of economic problems is facing enormous difficulties of an objective as well as a subjective nature. The old system of economic relations is collapsing, but the new one has not yet been shaped. The same is true of our foreign economic relations.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“In that context, the forthcoming United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, to be held in Brazil in 1992, should clarify many issues. Mongolia is one of those countries where the Communist experiment has failed. For the second year now, the country is advancing along the path of profound political and economic reform. Significant progress has been achieved in the cause of democratisation and the liberalization of social life in all its aspects. At present, the main task boils down to consolidating the democratic achievements and creating the legal and other prerequisites for ruling out the possibility of the revival of the old order. In this respect, great importance is being attached to the drafting of a new constitution, whose adoption is scheduled for November this year.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“Protectionism and other unjust conditions of trade, as well as difficulties in gaining access to advanced technology: all these problems are putting a heavy burden on the overwhelming majority of developing countries. In the light of the need to resolve these problems, we see the importance of intensifying the efforts to give new impetus to the North-South dialogue. In our view, the Declaration of the General Assembly at its eighteenth special session and the International Development Strategy for the Fourth United Nations Development Decade serve as an important basis for achieving the objective of establishing just and truly equal economic relations. Today the problem of environment protection rightly occupies pride of place on the world agenda. We fully share the view that this problem cannot be divorced from that of development.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“We believe that closer attention and better understanding are needed if the correlation between these common dilemmas is to be grasped and, on that basis, the search for new forms of wider and closer cooperation between the countries of Asia is to start. There have been rapid changes for the better in the political climate of our planet, but we cannot say the same about international economic relations. Regrettably, there is no evidence of any substantial changes in that area. The gap between "rich" and "poor" countries is growing. The problem of external debt is far from being resolved, although some limited steps are being taken in this direction.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“In particular, my Government put forward the possibility of regular dialogue between the countries of the northern part of Asia and the Pacific for the purpose of exchanging views on ways and means of finding optimal solutions to existing problems. There are many military-political, economic, ecological and other problems. One can say that the atmosphere in the region is far more conducive to the promotion of ideas in this field, including the idea concerning the establishment of a new world order. In spite of the diverse mosaic of the Asian continent, with its many ethnic, religious, cultural and other differences, the Asian countries have many things in common. The solution of urgent problems of economic and social development and the degradation of the environment, as well as many others, requires active joint efforts.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“We express the hope that this important step will facilitate the peaceful reunification of Korea, in accordance with the aspirations of its people. New, positive developments have taken place in the solution of the Cambodian problem. It is our hope that the forthcoming Paris International Conference in Paris will be crowned with success. In tune with the times are the ongoing efforts to resolve the protracted Afghan crisis. In our opinion, the recent agreement between the Soviet Union and the United States to discontinue the supply of weapons to all Afghan sides has strong positive potential. Mongolia attaches great importance to the strengthening of mutual understanding and trust in Asia, and has in the past offered some ideas towards this end.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“We welcome the emerging consensus on the convening of the Middle East peace conference, with the participation of all parties concerned. The time has come to put an end to the sufferings of the Palestinian people. Justice should be completely restored in all its aspects, taking into account the legitimate interests of all the countries of the region. It should be borne in mind that the events in the Persian Gulf have again clearly shown the danger of the unresolved situation prevailing in the Middle East. As we see it, the tension on the Korean peninsula is somewhat lessening. There is a desire on the part of both sides to seek mutually acceptable solutions. This is evidenced by the simultaneous admission of the two Koreas to membership of the United Nations.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“Thus, in the main, healthy trends dominate the political landscape of the planet, and the tendency of these processes is such that it leads us to believe that they are irreversible. This will certainly prove to be true under appropriate conditions and if efforts are made. For many years now the Asian continent has been a region ridden with the most dangerous hotbeds of tension and conflict. However, the situation of late is being redressed. Recent dramatic changes in the world and the turn of events in Asia itself offer grounds for hope in the possibility of eliminating these hotbeds. An active search by the parties concerned, with the participation of the United Nations, is yielding tangible peacemaking results.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“Therefore, practically the entire world community has a vested interest in its success. This is amply evidenced by the unanimous and almost universal condemnation of the August putsch in the Soviet Union. The putsch was a serious test both for the Soviet perestroika and for the still fragile trend towards accord on a global level. Perestroika withstood the test, and the cause of democracy and freedom has been defended through common effort. Perhaps this is one of the main lessons of the August events in the Soviet Union. How that perestroika has embarked on a qualitatively new stage, even more encouraging prospects open up for global cooperation on all the pressing problems of today.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“Encouraging progress has been made in the negotiations on the prohibition of chemical weapons, which, we hope, will lead to the elaboration of an appropriate agreement as early as next year. The Third Review Conference on the biological weapons Convention demonstrated the necessity to reaffirm and strengthen this important instrument. Furthermore, the improvement in the international atmosphere in recent years is to be credited to a large extent to the Soviet perestroika and its policy of new thinking. Under its impact, events of historic significance have taken place, particularly in Eastern European countries. In the final analysis, they have brought the cold war to an end. Further improvement in international relations and solutions to urgent global problems will depend to a certain extent on the pace of Soviet perestroika.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“It was not long before the Soviet-American agreement on the elimination of medium and short-range nuclear missiles was concluded. And today it is already fully implemented. Moreover, both sides have worked out a new agreement on the substantial reduction of offensive strategic armaments. This is an important step along the path towards the complete elimination of nuclear weapons. The new initiatives by the President of the United States of America, George Bush, on the further reduction of nuclear weapons, in our view, open up far-reaching vistas in this area. We welcome the decision by China, France and some other countries to accede to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.”

“The outcome of the crisis, logical by all ethic and moral norms of inter-State relations, significantly reinforced the faith of nations in the feasibility of bringing into being a just world order. And this is very important, since in the world of today the weak outnumber the strong by far. It is not diktat that the weak need, but assistance and just and equitable cooperation on the part of the strong. This certainly does not diminish the significance of other legal norms and principles of inter-State relations. Such fundamental values as democracy, human rights, freedom of opinion and choice, among others, must be seen as basic criteria. Secondly, the year 1991 has brought about promising results in the field of disarmament.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“We sincerely congratulate the representatives of these States. Yet another year marked by the strengthening of positive trends in the world has passed - a year that stands out for events which will long serve us all as both a lesson and an impetus in the steady march towards a new world order based on general acceptance of universal values. First of all I should like to allude to the Persian Gulf crisis. The aggression against Kuwait was undoubtedly a challenge to the entire world community, and it reacted to it in a fitting manner. The aggressor was stopped. In our opinion, the major lesson to be learned from the crisis was that the strong cannot defy with impunity the will of the weak and that the United Nations will no longer tolerate similar actions which flagrantly violate its Charter.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“Sir, it is indeed a pleasure for me to extend to you my warm congratulations on your election to the high post of President of the forty-sixth session of the General Assembly, which is destined to play an important role in further improving the activities of our Organisation. We pay a tribute to your predecessor, Mr. Guido de Marco, the representative of Malta, for his dynamic leadership of the work of the last General Assembly session. The Mongolian delegation expresses its deep satisfaction at the admission to the world Organization of seven new Member States, namely, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania and the Republic of Estonia.”
1991-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 46 (1991)
“I believe that this is in keeping with the task of ensuring the primacy of law and the objectives of the United Nations Decade of International Law proclaimed last year. In conclusion, the Mongolian delegation expresses the hope that this forty-fifth session of the General Assembly will make its own contribution to the solution of the pressing issues of today and to the consolidation of positive trends in the world. We wish to pay a sincere tribute to the Secretary-General, Mr. Javier Peres de Cuellar, for his untiring efforts and outstanding public service in enhancing the peace-making role of our Organisation. We wish him all further success.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“We are taking steps to join the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and other international financial and economic institutions. The country's foreign policy has been freed from ideological prejudices, a policy of non-alignment, a policy of maintaining friendly and equitable relations with any country, is being actively pursued. We advocate the principle of the non-deployment of troops and military bases on foreign territories. In accordance with a bilateral agreement, the withdrawal of the remaining part of Soviet troops from Mongolia will be completed by the summer of 1992. We have undertaken the work of bringing our national legislation into conformity with our international obligations and of withdrawing reservations made earlier in regard to some multilateral treaties and conventions.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“The first democratic and free elections have been held, a permanently functioning parliament has been set up. The presidential form of government has been introduced. Freedom of the press is being ensured. The right to emigrate freely and the right to freedom of religion and the performance of religious rites are being guaranteed. Many lost traditions and customs are being revived. In its economic policy ray Government is placing primary emphasis on the social aspect, a programme is being drawn up for the transition to a market economy. The equality of various forms of property, including private property, will be guaranteed by law. An open economic policy is being pursued, a law has been adopted on foreign investment. Mongolia has recently become a member of the Asian Development Bank.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“The Mongolian People's Republic hopes that the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, to be held in Brazil in 1992, will become an important landmark in the efforts of States to preserve the ecosystem of our planet. Mongolia welcomes the outcome of the World Summit for Children held recently at the United Nations. In our country appropriate measures will be taken to translate into practical action the spirit and provisions of the World Declaration on the Survival, Protection and Development of Children and its Plan of Action for the 19908, as well as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Mongolia today is experiencing a dynamic period of democratisation in its political, economic and spiritual life, a multiparty system has been established and is functioning.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“One important task is the creation of an international environment for accelerating economic growth and securing the sustained development of the developing countries. In this context I should like to underline the importance of giving the developing countries broader access to the achievements of scientific and technical progress. An early settlement in a spirit of justice and solidarity of the problems of external indebtedness and international trade would greatly help the developing countries to overcome the economic crisis. The Mongolian delegation shares the conclusions and recommendations contained in the report of the South Commission of the Group of 77. The deterioration in the world ecological situation constitutes a serious international problem, one that requires close co-operation on both a global and a regional level.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“We favour, above all, the intensification within the United Nations of a global dialogue on all the main components of world trade and economic relations. The convening this year of the special session of the General Assembly on economic issues and of the Second United Nation, Conference on the Least-Developed Countries we, of great importance. In our opinion, the Declaration adopted at the special session and the global consensus, reached thereby on way, and means of developing international economic co-operation lay the foundations for a constructive dialogue with a view to the solution of world economic problems, above all those problems confronting the developing countries. The International Development Strategy for the Fourth United Nations Development Decade should greatly facilitate the solution of the problems outlined above.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“We believe that this anniversary gives the entire international community a timely opportunity to sum up the activities of the United Nations on decolonisation. Positive changes are also taking place in South Africa itself. He hope that the negotiations between the South African authorities and the African National Congress of South Africa will lead to positive results and to the ultimate elimination of the system of apartheid and the creation of a new democratic, non-racial State in the southern part of Africa. The Mongolian People's Republic shares the deep concern expressed in the report of the Secretary-General on the work of the Organisation in regard to the difficult economic situation in the overwhelming majority of the developing countries.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“Such meetings would help, in our view, to identify the problems existing in the region and would suggest ways and means of resolving them. We view the implementation of our idea in the context of other initiatives put forward by other countries of the region and we will be glad to co-operate with interested parties. The proclamation of a new and independent Namibia bas undoubtedly been one of the most important event, of this year. This was a major achievement of the United Nations and of all democratic and anti-colonialist forces. It is symbolic that the elimination of the last major colonial stain on Earth coincides with the thirtieth anniversary of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and People, which will be celebrated at this session of the General Assembly.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“The establishment last year of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation Organisation with the participation of 12 States was, in our view, a very important step in the development of Asia-Pacific integration. Mongolia is most interested in participating in the activities of that Organisation. Believing in the importance of a regional approach to the solution of common problems, Mongolia last year made a proposal that, together, we should seek a mechanism for dialogue among the countries of the northern part of the Asia-Pacific region. I would emphasise here that we are not talking about the establishment of any kind of new organisational structure. We are merely suggesting the organisation of periodic meetings of representatives of the countries of the subregion at various levels.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“Here, we should like to express our support for the Soviet idea of holding a widely representative forum of Asian States. The resolution of a specific problem would, apparently, call for a specific approach - a specific group of participants and so on. Meanwhile, it is important to have a general, constructive background based on mutual confidence and understanding on a regional scale and, in our view, this involves mutual confidence and understanding on a regional scale. This would call for a display of good will and the development of broad co-operation on both a regional and a subregional basis. 9fe therefore welcome the emergence of various regional structures for co-operation. It is important that they should be open-ended.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“Apart from specific regional problems, there are a number of regional issues of common concern in Asia. There is a great disparity in the level of the development of the countries of the region. The process of integration among them is uneven and is, to a great extent, underdeveloped. Many countries of the Asia-Pacific region suffer from economic backwardness and from ecological and other serious problems. The existing problems and conflicts can be resolved, first, through joint efforts on the part of interested parties and States of the region. In our view, therefore, it is highly important for the countries of the Asia-Pacific region to formulate their owe pattern of interaction, while taking into account the positive experience of other regions.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“To our great regret, the situation in another area of the Asian continent - the Middle East - has been seriously aggravated by Iraq's open aggression against Kuwait. Mongolia fully supports the measures taken by the Security Council and a number of States to restore justice and the rights of the Kuwaiti people, which have been trampled upon. We consider that this problem should be resolved exclusively by political means. The current explosive situation in the Persian Gulf has again clearly shown the need for an early settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East. A just and comprehensive settlement of this problem can be achieved only on the basis of the recognition of the rights of all the peoples and countries of the region to exist and the implementation of the relevant resolutions of the United Nations.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“Certain encouraging signs can be discerned on the Korean peninsula as well. We are hopeful that the inter-Korean dialogue, launched at the level of Prime Ministers, will create favourable conditions for enhancing mutual confidence, reducing confrontation on the peninsula and attaining the ultimate objective of the reunification of Korea. Mongolia continues to favour the earliest possible solution of the Afghan problem. An immediate end must be put to the continuing bloodshed in that country and international efforts to that end should be intensified. In our view, the policy of national reconciliation and unity pursued by the Afghan Government paves the way for the opening of the inter-Afghan dialogue.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“This is reflected, in particular in the growing willingness of the countries of the region to engage in dialogue and co-operation, and in the increasing trust and mutual understanding among them. In other words, the times when ideological and other differences stood in the way of greater co-operation are fading away. New and earnest steps are being taken to resolve some of the regional conflicts. Mongolia welcomes the steps taken towards a final settlement of the Cambodian conflict, namely, the agreement reached by the five permanent members of the Security Council on the framework for its settlement, the acceptance of relevant documents by the Cambodian parties, and the formation of the Supreme National Council of Cambodia. In this regard, the efforts made by the United Nations and all the countries concerned are highly commendable.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“The Mongolian delegation shares the concern over the lack of progress towards an agreement on the complete prohibition of nuclear-weapon tests. The strengthening of the non-proliferation regime and the cessation of the technological arms race are assuming ever greater importance. The Mongolian Republic believes that disarmament measures, including those relating to conversion, should be carried out in close conjunction with development efforts. The Asia-Pacific region has been attracting increasing attention from the world community, especially of late. Though the development of events is quite complex, we view the general political situation in the region as positive.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“We expect that one of its most important results will be the conclusion of an agreement on the reduction of conventional armaments on the European continent. The successful advancement of the all-European process and the changing nature of the relations between the two largest military and political groupings are bringing about an improvement in the overall political climate and are helping to prepare solid ground for new and concrete steps towards disarmament. We are encouraged by the recent statements of the leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States to the effect that they will put forth new efforts with a view to completing, as early as this year, the agreement on the reduction of strategic offensive armaments. Mongolia would also like to see the early conclusion of the convention on banning chemical weapons.”

“In short, today’s world is quite contradictory and an intensification of efforts to reinforce the positive trends and find optimal solutions to existing problems, still remains an urgent task of the world community. In Europe, the normalisation of international relations on the regional level is continuing. Events of historic magnitude have taken place recently. The countries of Eastern Europe have taken a decisive step towards democratisation and renewal of their societies, λ united Germany has emerged. The Helsinki process is gaining new momentum. The Mongolian People’s Republic welcomes the convening in Paris, in November, of the summit meeting of the countries participating in the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe.”

“Europe has made great strides towards unification. Positive results can be observed in the settlement of some regional conflicts, k constructive search is continuing in various areas of the disarmament process. The role of the United Nations as a major instrument of peace, collective security and international cooperation, is ever-expanding. Namibia has gained the independence for which it fought so long. Despite these radical changes, we must however note the lack of tangible progress in resolving а number of global and regional problems such as underdevelopment, the external debt ecological imbalance and the crisis in the Middle last among others. Moreover, a new and highly dangerous source of tension has emerged.”

“We warmly congratulate the delegation of Liechtenstein on the accession to the United Nations and we wish them every success in their noble work. The work of the forty-fifth session of the General Assembly has begun at a most significant moment in history. The year drawing to a close has on the whole fostered the positive breaks that have emerged of late. This year's historic events have made it a watershed. The cold war is over, a new era in international relations, based on the active, peaceful co-,existence of States in conditions of interdependence, has began, following the United States-Soviet Union summit meeting in Malta, the global confrontation between those two countries has virtually given way to an enlightened partnership. The level of confidence and Mutual understanding between East and Nest has been raised to new heights.”

“On behalf of the Mongolian delegation, I should like to offer Mr. De Marco our sincere congratulations on his unanimous election to the lofty post of President of the General Assembly at its forty-fifth session and to wish his every success in the performance of his important duties. His election is a tribute to his personal qualities as an outstanding statesman of Malta, and also to the widely recognised and active contribution of his country to the work of the United Nations. The Mongolian delegation also pays a tribute to his predecessor, Mr. Garba of Nigeria, for his skilled guidance of the work of the forty-fourth regular session and the three special sessions of the General Assembly, which dealt with very important problems of our day.”
1990-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 45 (1990)
“This problem has become so acute that it is, in our view, essential to raise the question of putting into treaty language the issue of a human right to a better and healthy environment. This question does not seem to be adequately reflected in the existing international instruments on human rights. We therefore deem it desirable to consider the question of making an appropriate amendment to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Sights. In doing so we proceed from the premise that the development of international law and the ensuring of its primacy are important elements in strengthening peace and co-operation among States. In this connection, we consider that the proposal of the non-aligned countries to declare a United Nations decade of international law a timely initiative.”

“In this context I would like to draw the attention of the members of the Assembly to the idea submitted by the Mongolian delegation at the latest session of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific on the elaboration of regional and sub regional programmes of action for the protection of the environment in the Asia and the Pacific region and on the creation of a regional centre on the environment. In our opinion, such steps would help to co-ordinate the national efforts of the countries of the region to create ecologically sound living conditions. The consequences of environmental degradation adversely affect the living conditions of many people, even of entire nations.”

“The problem of the external indebtedness of developing countries still remains acute. The ongoing dialogue within the United Nations and outside it on resolving this problem inspires some optimism. As is known, the protection of nature and of the environment has become a most important global problem and one which requires urgent international efforts. The Mongolian People's Republic therefore attaches great importance to the convening in 1992 of a United Nations conference on the environment and development.”

“we share the reasoning of the other developing countries, expressed particularly at the Belgrade summit conference of the non-aligned countries and at the Caracas ministerial meeting of the Group of 77 that the consequences of the absence of a solution to the problems of the economic development of these countries will have an increasing impact on the developed countries as well. This global interdependence should be established on an equal and collective footing with a view to ensuring social justice and economically sustainable development for all. In our opinion, this interdependence should be duly taken into account in the elaboration of the international development strategy for the 1990s and in the decisions of the forthcoming special session of the General Assembly on international economic co-operation.”

“The Mongolian delegation shares the view that the positive changes and shifts of a political nature in the world are not yet buttressed by adequate progress in resolving the problems of international economic relations. The development of economic co-operation is frustrated not only by factors of an objective nature but also by artificial barriers which, inter alia, are at variance with the overall spirit of the new detente. We deem it important to intensify the global dialogue, first of all within the framework of the United Nations, cm world trade and economic relations in all major directions - North-South, East-West and South-South.”

“Here we have in mind the prospects of concluding an agreement on the reduction of strategic offensive armaments of the USSR and the United States in the light of the recent accords in Wyoming, of banning chemical weapons and initiating the destruction of their stockpiles, as well as of achieving real progress at the Vienna talks on the reduction of armed forces and armaments in Europe. We submit that the General Assembly should renew its call for the cessation of the arms race, for the prevention of the militarization of outer space and for the complete prohibition of nuclear tests. The Mongolian People's Republic favours the convening of an international conference with the purpose of converting the 1963 Moscow Treaty banning nuclear-weapon tests in three environments into a treaty on a comprehensive banning of such tests.”

“We resolutely condemn the policy and practices of apartheid and advocate their liquidation. We are in solidarity with the struggle of the Nicaraguan people and its Government for their freedom and independence, sovereignty and national dignity. The Mongolian delegation supports the efforts of the Central American States and the United Nations aimed at the peaceful settlement of the problem. The disarmament process set in motion by the Treaty on the Elimination of Inter mediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles - INF Treaty - has of late been gaining new momentum.”
