text: point of the map, a merely regional approach would appear naïve or discriminatory and unfair. Finally, disarmament cannot be separated from the more general process of building an international society based on the rule of law, which, as has happened internally in our societies, would permit the disarming of its members. The reinforced role the United Nations has found in the solution of regional conflicts is a promising avenue in this complementarity between conflict resolution and progress in disarmament. In my statement before this Conference in February last I shared with you some of the ideas I had on the need to make this body more effective and useful in this era of fast change. I will no longer be able to participate in the day-to-day business of the CD, but I am sure that this forum will make a major contribution to the achievement of our ultimate goal of achieving peace through disarmament. I hope that the chemical weapons convention, to which you have devoted so much hard work, will be concluded soon and thus confirm the capacity of this body to help build a new order in the field of security. My thoughts and my best wishes will always be with you in your endeavours, and I hope from time to time to come back to this room and share my thoughts with you and learn from your collective wisdom and concern. Ambassador Rubens Ricupero, a very good friend and a respected colleague, will be Brazil's representative in this Conference. He is well known to most of you and requires no introduction. It gives me great pleasure that a man of his talent and ability will be our spokesman and assure the undiminished interest of Brazil in all aspects of our extremely relevant and challenging agenda .
