Resolution 34/89
(December 11, 1979)
This resolution was another example of the use of the
General Assembly by the automatic anti-Israel majority for the adoption of
mischievous statements, which, as all those who voted for them knew very
well, had no chance of being implemented, let alone taken seriously. The
following resolution was adopted by 97 in favor, 10 against, with 38
abstentions.
The General Assembly,
Alarmed by the increasing information and evidence
regarding Israel's activities aiming at the acquisition and development of
nuclear weapons,
Recalling its resolution 33/71 A of 14 December 1978
concerning military and nuclear collaboration with Israel,
Recalling its repeated condemnation of the military and
nuclear collaboration between Israel and South Africa,
Reaffirming its resolutions 3263 (XXIX) of 9 December
1974, 3474 (XXX) of 11 December 1975, 31/71 of 10 December 1976, 32/82 of
12 December 1977 and 33/64 of 14 December 1978 on the establishment of a
nuclear-weapon-free zone in the region of the Middle East,
Convinced that the development of nuclear capability by
Israel would further aggravate the already dangerous situation in the
region and further threaten international peace and security,
1. Appeals to all States to put an end to any
co-operation with Israel which may assist it in acquiring and developing
nuclear weapons and also to dissuade corporations, institutions and
individuals within their jurisdiction from any co-operation that may result
in providing Israel with nuclear weapons;
2. Calls upon all States to take all necessary measures
to prevent the transfer to Israel of fissionable material and nuclear
technology which could be used for nuclear arms;
3. Calls upon Israel to submit all its nuclear
facilities to inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency;
4. Strongly condemns any attempt by Israel to
manufacture, acquire, store or test nuclear weapons or introduce them into
the Middle East,
5. Requests the Security Council to adopt appropriate
measures to ensure the implementation of the relevant resolutions
concerning Israeli nuclear armament;
6. Requests the Secretary-General, with the assistance
of qualified experts, to prepare a study on Israeli nuclear armament and to
report to the General Assembly at its thirty-sixth session;
7. Further requests the Secretary-General to submit a
progress report on the work of the group of experts to the General Assembly
at its thirty-fifth session;
8. Decides to include in the provisional agenda of its
thirty-fifth session the item entitled "Israeli nuclear
armament."
