第一委员会的工作是在复杂和不确定的全球安全环境中进行的。我们再次非常遗憾地注意到，关于极为重要的裁军和国际安全问题的谈判仍然停滞不前。核裁军和不扩散仍然远未得到实现。下面这句话我们再怎么经常说都不为过：我们只有遵守这方面的国际义务，才能实现我们如此盼望的无核武器世界的理想。
The work of the First Committee is taking place in a complex and uncertain global security environment and, once again, we note with great regret that the standstill in the negotiations on key disarmament and international security issues continues. Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation are still a long way from being realized. We cannot say it often enough: only respect for our international obligations in that area will enable us to achieve the ideal of a world free of nuclear weapons, to which we so aspire.
