  1. “It is therefore easy to understand the genuine satisfaction with which our people supports any practical proposal, any reasonable initiative, aimed at ensuring peace in Europe. 141. At the same time, our position cannot in any way be interpreted as a position based on narrow national interests. In a recent speech Comrade Shelest, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party, quite rightly pointed out, as reported in the Ukrainian Pravda of 18 April 1970, that: "The processes which are taking place in Europe to a greater or lesser extent determine the direction and nature of the development of events in all parts of the world. That is why European problems have a truly worldwide significance and European security is rightly regarded as a key issue in world politics." 142. The world is indivisible.”

  2. “Practical measures to give effect to it will be in the interests of all States, large and small. 139. The year which has elapsed since the last session of the Assembly has been marked by certain favorable changes in the international political climate. There is increasing awareness of the need to solve controversial problems by negotiation and to recognize the realities of the modern world. And when we speak of favorable trends of this kind, we are referring primarily to the European continent. 140. The special interest of the Ukraine in the strengthening of European security hardly requires explanation. Facts illustrating the truly terrible consequences of wars, for the Ukrainian people particularly the consequences of the war unleashed by Hitlerism have repeatedly been cited from this rostrum.”

  3. “This means that the United Nations must take effective steps to eliminate hotbeds of armed conflicts, to stop the use of force against national liberation movements, to put an end to the seizure and military occupation of the territory of other States, to halt the continuing arms race and to bring about agreement on general and complete disarmament. 138. The delegation of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic believes that, on the occasion of its twenty-fifth anniversary, the United Nations should approve a political document setting out a program for the strengthening of international security. We are convinced that the draft declaration on the strengthening of international security [A/C.1/L.513] submitted by the delegations of the socialist countries could well serve as such a document.”

  4. “136. The complex nature of the international situation confronts each session of the General Assembly with a multitude of problems. Many of them will have to be considered at the twenty-fifth session also. There is no doubt, however, that we must concentrate our attention on questions which are decisive for the fate of world peace and, consequently, for the future of the United Nations. 137. In this connexion we should like to recall that the Government of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, in its reply to the SecretaryGeneral on tKe question of international security [see Al7922lAdd.2] expressed the view that the development of international relations in recent times urgently required that the United Nations should intensify its efforts to solve fundamental political problems, primarily those of strengthening peace and security.”

  5. “Our purpose in evaluating the work done by the United Nations over the past quarter of a century is to learn the necessary lessons and to do everything possible to ensure that the United Nations becomes a really effective and reliable instrument for strengthening international peace and security and cooperation between States and peoples in every possible field. 134. At the time of its establishment, the United Nations proclaimed the truly democratic objectives of safeguarding universal peace and the security of peoples by all possible means. The fact that 25 years have passed without a world war does certainly do some credit to our Organization. 135. Nevertheless, we are still living in conditions in which dangerous tension exists, the arms race is still going on and conflicts fraught with dangerous consequences occur from time to time.”

  6. “On behalf of the Government and people of the Ukraine, we wish to convey our very sincere condolences to the Government and people of the United Arab Republic and to the family of the deceased. Gamal Abdel Nasser will remain in our memory as a tireless champion of the just cause of peoples fighting for their freedom and independence and as a steadfast advocate of the strengthening of friendship and the development of cooperation in every possible way between the people of the United Arab Republic and the peoples of the Soviet Union. 133.”

  7. “130. Mr. President, I should like to offer my congratulations to Mr. Hambro on his election to the responsible post of President of the twenty-fifth anniversary session of the General Assembly and wish him success in discharging this important mission. 131. Speaking from this rostrum for the first time, I should like to extend my greetings to you, Mr. SecretaryGeneral. The great efforts which you are making for the fruitful activity of our Organization are universally known. 132. The delegation of the Soviet Ukraine has learned with profound sorrow of the untimely death of that outstanding political figure and statesman, Mr. Gamal Abdel Nasser, President of the United Arab Republic.”
