Dr. Salim Statement to the 37th Session of the UN General Assembly

"We are presently witnessing one of the most disturbing periods in the post-war era. The delicate balance so painstakingly fashioned out over the many years through the process of international dialogue and detente is giving way to tension and confrontation. The mechanisms for settlement of disputes which were so laboriously created have almost lost grip over the trend of international relations." - Dr. Salim, October 12, 1982
