text: outer space but also in the thinking of mankind about international security. It could become a key in a new approach to the prevention of an arms race in outer space. Such an arms race can be prevented not only by bans and prohibitions but also by international co-operation, taking into account the security interests of all States. At the same time, such observation and monitoring arrangements, internationally created and managed, could complement and strengthen the structure of the United Nations collective security system, making its activity more efficient and the international environment more secure. Mr. President, the main purpose of this statement was to emphasize the need for new thinking in disarmament and security issues. Without new bold ideas and fresh approaches, it would be difficult to solve many of the existing problems in our negotiations. There is a danger that orthodox views on security and traditional approaches to disarmament may impede our work and limit its results despite much more promising conditions at present. The Cold War impoverished our thinking on international security. It did not allow the implementation in practice of the collective security mechanism provided for in the United Nations Charter. It hampered serious discussion on ambitious plans for the internationalization of atomic energy and ensuring that it would be used for peaceful purposes only (the so-called Baruch Plan). It brought instead the nuclear arms race. CD/PV.571 21 (Mr, Towpik. Poland) Today when the Cold War seems to be over, it is time to consider all possible options for creating conditions of security. This applies in particular to outer space, which is a relatively new domain'of human activity. If we do not find new approaches to this activity, then there is no reason to believe that outer space will be exempt from military competition, with all the possible consequences which we know from recent history.
analysis: The text primarily focuses on international security, disarmament, and the prevention of an arms race in outer space. It highlights the need for new approaches and thinking in these areas, and suggests that international cooperation and collective security mechanisms can help achieve this goal. The text does not explicitly discuss economic development, natural resources, or other specific sectors, but rather addresses the broader issue of international security.
