text: Each of the five consecutive resolutions adopted annually by the United Nations General Assembly as from December 1980 contained appeals to the three depositaries, to whom I have already referred, which are worded as follows: "The General Assembly, "Calls upon the States depositaries of the Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in the Atmosphere, in OUter Space and under Water and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, by virtue of their special responsibilities under those two Treaties and as a provisional measure, to bring to a halt without delay all nuclear-test explosions, either through a trilaterally agreed moratorium or through three unilateral moratoria;" (resolution 38/62, para. 7) The last of the elements I am listing here is that, in the light of these appeals, we no doubt found a source of satisfaction in the announcement made on 29 July last by the Soviet Union in a statement which, inter alia, stated the following: "In an effort to help end the dangerous competition in the build-up of nuclear arsenals and wishing to set a good example, the Soviet Union has BHS/ve A/C.l/ 40/PV. 3 22 (Mr. Garcia Robles, Mexico) decided that it will unilaterally discontinue all nuclear explosions, starting from 6 August 1985.

The language used is formal and diplomatic, suggesting a focus on international relations and security.
