GENERAL A/40/680 s/17495 2b September 1985 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH GENERAL ASSEMBLY Fortieth eeealon Aqonda item 72 REVIEW OF THE IMPLbEMENTATION OF THE DECLARATION ON THE STRENGTHENING OF INTERNATIONAL SECURITY SECURITY COUNCIL Fortieth year Letter dated 25 September 1985 from the Permanent Representative of Ethiopia to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General Reterrinq to the letter dated 20 September 1985 from the Permanent Representative of Somalia to Your Encellency (A/40/671-5/17484), and upon instruction from my Government, I ehould like to make the followinq remarke: I. No act ot aqqreeaion has been committed aqainst Somalia by Ethiopian air or land forces on 15 or 16 September or indeed at any other time, I, therefore, totally and uneauivocally relect the unfounded charqea contained in the above-mentioned letter from the Permanent Representative of Sorlalia. 2. The international community is aware, on the other hand, that the people nt Somalia who are opposed to the dictatorial r6qime of Siad Barre have, tor several years now, heen enqaqed in armed rebellion aqainst tyranny. That the Moqadicio r6qime indulqeR in all typefi ot manoeuvres, particularly prior to or durinq the course ot mnlor international or reqlonal conterencef!, with a view tn divertinq world attention tram its internal ditticultles arisinq out ot the onqoinq civil war, is eaually known. The reasons tar the present haseleRs allcqations by Somalia aqainot my country, too, can be understood only in that context. 3. Socialist Ethiopia has always steadtastly adhered to the principles enshrined in the Charter ot the United Nationf? and the Charter ot the Orqanization ot Atrican Unity as well as to thoRe enunciated by the Non-Aliqned Movement while strictly ohaervinq the letter and sprrlt ot their decisions, declarationfi and resolut LonR. She wi 11 continue to do so. 
analysis: The text appears to be a diplomatic response to a previous letter, likely in the context of a conflict or dispute between two countries. The language used is formal and diplomatic, with a focus on denying allegations and justifying actions. The text does not mention specific economic, social, or environmental issues, but rather focuses on the political and international implications of the conflict.
