text: staff, the various rapporteurs who studied the situation in Chile and the friendly countries that supported the resulting resolutions - I would cite as a symbolic example our sister Republic of Mexico, with which we recently re-established diplomatic relations. For all those reasons, it is today my duty and my obligation to say here in the General Assembly, solemnly and simply, "Thank you, United Nations. Thank you for never having forgotten Chile. Thank you for having stayed with us to the end. Thank you for your solidarity. What you did here was not done in vain." The eighteenth special session of the General Assembly is neeting as the post-war era is drawing to a close. It was marked by the ideological and political confrontation between the super-Powers and the frantic increase of their nuclear and military capabilities for mutual dissuasion. RM/12 A/S-18/PV. 5 47 (Mr. Somavia, Chile) That fact opens enormous possibilities for the future. Perhaps the most significant and enoouraging of those is the opportunity to promote a new system of international relations that will not, as in the past, be the result of the military victory of one oountry or group of countries over others. Today, on the contrary, we can nourish the legitimate hope of developing a new and shared commonsense that reflects the interests of a wide spectrum of international actors, governmental as well as non-governmental. We believe that it would be useful to generate oonditions that could enable us to oonsider the many kinds of insecurity, sometimes old, sometimes new - I would mention drugs and the environment -that exist in the various aspects of todav's world. That would contribute to arriving at concepts of security that respond to today's needs and to the needs of the twentv~first century as part of the emerging new international order.
