the Fourth Committee (Decolonization) proposed in paragraph 33
of the report of the General Committee.
Item 38, dealing with a review of the efficiency of the
administrative and financial functioning of the United Nations,
was allocated to the Fifth Committee (Administrative and
Budgetary), on the understanding that the report on the United
Nations intergovernmental structure and functions in the
economic and social fields would be considered directly in

The Foreign Minister of Yemen, Mr. AL-ERYANI, then turned to the
Iran-Iraq conflict and called for the removal of all barriers
towards a durable peace. He added that Iran should be persuaded
to expedite the exchange of prisoners of war since that would be
the litmus test to determining its ultimate readiness for a
comprehensive peace.
In the Horn of Africa, he supported all measures aimed at
negotiations and respect for territorial integrity and
non-interference in the internal affairs of other States. He
urged the fraternal countries of Sudan and Ethiopia to resolve
their differences through negotiations.
The presentation of the territorial integrity of Afghanistan and
its right to self-determination without outside interference
represented the cornerstone for a comprehensive and definitive
settlement of that problem. He urged full implementation of the
Geneva Accords.
The destabilization of the front-line States in southern Africa
by South Africa, he said, was reprehensible. The international
community was duty bound to help the heroic people of South
Africa and to bring all pressures to bear on the racist regime
to end their hated policies of apartheid. He called on all
countries, particularly the major powers, to stand by the United
Nations in its plan for the independence of Namibia.
Mr. AL-ERYANI expressed support for the conversion of the
partial test-ban treaty to a comprehensive one, and for the
proposals for the non-militarization of outer space. The United
Nations must shoulder its responsibility with regard to
disarmament and the demilitarization of space, he said. He
added that the Indian Ocean should be devoid of external
military presences and be speedily recognized as a zone of
peace.
With regard to overall disarmament in the world, he said the
Zionist entity had continued to test intermediate nuclear
missiles casting an aura of anxiety over the Middle East.
Disarmament and development were closely linked. The gap between
rich and poor continued to widen and billions were still spent
on arms while the developing countries suffered from poverty and
misery. The present international economic system needed to be
amended. The new international economic order should be
established. International economic relations needed to be
rebuilt on the principles of equality and justice.
His country, Mr. AL-ERYANI said, had benefited from the
establishment of the Arab Co-operation Council by Jordan, Iraq,
Egypt, and Yemen. The Council aimed at improving the social,
economic and cultural conditions of all its members. Together
with the Maghreb Union and the Gulf Co-operation Council, that
body was helping Yemen in developing to its fullest potential.
