text: any region today, especially if they involve not only in-justice and loss of life but friction and increased ten- sion between the major Powers, must be a matter of concern to all members of Ihe international commu- nity. Such events simply cannot be seen now as of concern only to the countries of the region or to the major world Powers themselves. 31. There are obvious reasons for that. In the first place. we are now at a stage in world affairs where the international community as a whole should show a legitimate concern to see basic rights upheld and greater justice achieved in societies that have suffered under oppressive oligarchic rule for many generations and where today in some cases an appalling toll of death and injury takes place. A people like the peo- ple of Nicaragua deserves sympathy and understanding in its effort to reconstruct after the ravages of Somoza. 32. In the second place, there is a real danger of hostilities and international conflict between neigh- houring countries in the region. It is understandable that those who have successfully challenged repres- sive and despotic rule in their own countries should show sympathy for those of like mind who face similar opponents in neighbouring countries. But if sympathy, moral support and encouragement for greater justice should go beyond that and become active and mili- tant intervention, then there would be a serious dan- ger of hostilities between the States involved. 33. Third. and more serious still, is the fact that larger global tensions and rivalries are already being superimposed on the existing regional instability, The dangers would be very great indeed if the already complex and difficult regional issues were now to become part of a global confrontation between the major Powers, 34. Those are all legitimate reasons for wider inter- 
analysis: The text discusses global and regional tensions, conflicts, and instability, highlighting the need for international community involvement and concern. It touches on themes of justice, rights, and reconstruction, particularly in the context of Nicaragua. While not directly related to economic or environmental issues, the text's focus on global tensions and rivalries suggests a broader, more abstract concern that transcends specific sectors.
