Resolution 35/147
(December 12, 1980)
The thirty fifth session of the United Nations
General Assembly was no different than previous ones, in passing a series
of anti-Israel resolutions, whose authors were fully aware that they would
not be implemented and would carry little if no moral value. Another
resolution dealing with the establishment of a nuclear-free zone in the
Middle East, also a "traditional" resolution, was adopted without
a vote on 12 December (Resolution 35/147). The following resolution was
adopted by 99 in favour, 6 against and 38 abstentions. In reality it only
placed the item on the agenda of the next assembly.
The General Assembly,
Recalling its relevant resolutions on the establishment
of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the region of the Middle East,
Reaffirming its resolution 33/71 A of 14 December 1978
on military and nuclear collaboration with Israel, and its resolution 34/89
of 11 December 1979 on Israeli nuclear armament,
1. Take note of the progress report of the
Secretary-General on the work of the Group of Experts to prepare a study on
Israeli Nuclear Armament submitted to the General Assembly at its
thirty-fifth session;
2. Requests the Secretary-General to pursue his efforts
in this regard and to submit his report to the General Assembly at its
thirty-sixth session;
3. Decides to include in the provisional agenda of its
thirty-sixth session the item entitled "Israeli nuclear
armament."
