the triumph of an ideological system, or to proclaim the superiority of one civilization over another. What is at stake now is saving the human race as a whole, tappinq the resources of concord and the peace dividend. In this framework, aware as we are of the particular importance of the President's task, ·the delegation of the Kingdom of Morocco is happy to extend its congratulations once again to Ambassador Garba of Nigeria on his unanimous election to the presidency of the Assembly at this historic session and to his fellow officers of the Assembly on their election. We see great significance in the fact that through Ambassador Garba and his fraternal country, Africa has taken its place at the very heart of the upheavals and mutations of the present day. My delegation would like to take this opportunity to pay its respects to the Preparatory Committee and its Chairman, who for months devoted their best efforts to the start of a process of negotiation unparalleled in the history of international relations. In so doing, we reaffirm our faith in our Organization and our confidence in its Secretary-General, who have demonstrated their matchless ability to rally the international community, including the very highest political levels, around a world agenda which contains some of the greatest challenges of our time. The start of this special session, which has raised hopes in the four corners of the globe, coincides with the admission of Namibia to the United Nations family, and this is an excellent omen. On behalf of the Government of His Majesty the King of Morocco, we take pleasure in extending our best wishes and welcome to the Namibian delegation, whose presence among us marks the total decolonization of Africa and promotes the dismantling of the odious apartheid system.
