That is why, in the view of Romania and of President Nicolae Ceausescu , the fundamental issue of our day is the cessation of the arms race and especially of the nuclear arms race, the transition to disarmament , the elimination of all nuclear weapons , the cessation of any action to militarize outer space, and the safeguarding and consolidation of peace. In view of the seriousness of the present international situation , the President of the socialist Republic of Romania recently appealed once again to political leaders and to the peoples of the entire world to join efforts and rise above all differences between social systems and political , philosophical or religious views and, before it is too late, to stop the present dangerous course of events towards confrontation and war, and completely to renounce force and the threat of the use of force in international relations in order to guarantee to peoples the right to develop freely, and to use scientific achievements exclusively for peaceful purposes . Like many other countries , we believe that the Gordian knot, in any efforts made to achieve disarmament and guarantee the security of States, is undoubtedly nuclear disarmament , the high priority of which is almost unanimously recognized. This is not empty rhetoric but a fact which, unfortunately, some at times attempt to call into question. Nuclear weapons have brought about a radical change in military doctrines , in concepts of security and in the balance of forces. An entire body of specialized literature as well as life itself emphasize the far-reaching effects of these weapons on the political , economic, social and moral levels. Nuclear weapons have, for the first time in the history of mankind, created the dreadful instrument by which man can destroy life on our planet.
