text: Under the pretext of self-defence, several billions of dollars are being wasted in the building of armament stockpiles, while every day millions of people are wasting away as a result of poverty, malnutrition and disease. This is all the more so because the vast concentration of nuclear-weapon power rests in the hands of a few States. such a situation constitutes a constant threat to international peace and security. The evolving scenario increasingly causes us to worry about what the future holds for mankind. The present world political scene continues to be polarized. There is a deterioration in relations between the two major Powers and a gradual return to policies of confrontation, the use of force and the emergence of the cold war syndrome. This gloomy international situation is pushing us towards the- threshhold of a possible nuclear catastrophe. Hypotheses about the possibility of partial or limited nuclear wars are being contemplated. Despite world-wide reaffirmation of the conviction that the greatest peril facing the world is the threat of self-destruction by nuclear war and that consequently the removal of that threat is the most acute and urgent task of today, efforts to reach a consensus approach to the question of the prevention of nuclear war and all other related wars have remained fruitless. BHS/sm A/C.l/40/PV.9 34-35 (Mr. Afande, Kenya) My delegation welcomes the current resumed soviet-United States arms control talks and the forthcoming summit meeting between the united states and the Soviet Union in Geneva as a gesture which underscores the acceptance in principle of-the grave consequences that could result from their continued escalation of the arms race, and particularly the nuclear arms race on earth and in outer space.

analysis: The text primarily focuses on the threat of nuclear war and its potential consequences, discussing the arms race, the concentration of nuclear power, and the need for international cooperation to prevent such a catastrophe. While it does not explicitly mention economic development, health, education, or employment, it does touch on the human impact of poverty, malnutrition, and disease. Therefore, it is likely that the text's main concern is not directly related to the categories typically associated with economic development, health, education, or employment.
