national co-operation in the peaceful exploitation of outer space under conditions of its non-militarization.’ We are in favour of preventing the appearance of arms in space and of opening it up for the joint constructive endeavours of States. A decision to this effect should be adopted without delay, before the arms race breaks out into space. 36. In accordance with the Charter, all Members of the Organization should contribute to the achievement of dis- armament. Of course, that applies above all to the nuclear- weapon States, particularly since all of them are permanent members of the Security Council. 37. The Soviet Union has unilaterally ceased nuclear explosions. In view of the presence in this Chamber of the representatives of the other nuclear Powers, we once again urge them, particularly the United States, to consider that initiative most seriously and to follow our example. As for verification, that problem is raised artificially. Today a nuclear explosion cannot be concealed, and those who make assertions to the contrary are also well aware of that. 38. Our country proposes that agreement be reached on the entire complex of issues concerning the removal of the nuclear threat, from freezing to completely eliminating nuclear arms. In limiting and reducing arms of any kind, the Soviet Union will go as far as its partners are prepared to go. 39. For the world to become a better place, it has to be freed from hotbeds of aggression and armed conflict. Today this means putting an end to the interference in the internal affairs of Nicaragua and other countries of Cen- tral America, the undeclared war against Afghanistan and the aggression against the Arab States; giving the Arab people of Palestine an opportunity to establish a State of its own, and terminating the illegal occupation of Namibia by South Africa’s racist regime.
