HANS-DIETRICH GENSCHER, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the
Federal Republic of Germany, said that "Because we Germans are
aware of our responsibility for the Second World War, we
perceive it our duty to work for a better world: for a world of
peace, democracy and solidarity between nations, freedom and
human rights." The Polish nation was the first victim of the war
deliberately unleashed by Hitlerian Germany 50 years ago. He
gave assurance that that right to live in secure borders would
not be called into question through territorial claims by "us
Germans", either now or in the future.
Since the inception of the Federal Republic of Germany, he said,
it has framed a European peace policy -- as a member of the
European Community and the Atlantic Alliance and as a member of
the family of Western democracies, he said. The European
Community was heading for a European Union which regarded itself
as a factor of economic and political stability in the world.
His country agreed with its Western friends that the reform
processes in Central and Eastern Europe were in the interest of
all Europe and of the world, he said, adding that the reform
process was not a case of one side's opinion being adopted by
the other, but rather a process of self-reflection on the common
foundations of European culture and history.
The two German States had already made substantial contributions
toward d|tente and disarmament in Europe, he went on, adding
that those endeavours were founded on the Basic Treaty with the
German Democratic Republic and guided by the joint declarations
issued by Chancellor Kohl and General Secretary Honecker on 12
March 1985 and 8 September 1987.
The two German States must, each in its own fashion, contribute
towards overcoming the things that separated the Europeans from
each other, he said. His Government wholeheartedly supported
the process of European unification within the European
Community as well as the efforts of European countries aimed at
reform. The German Democratic Republic could contribute through
reforms aimed at greater openness in Europe, just as the Soviet
Union, Poland and Hungary were already doing. A policy of
reform would open up new prospects in the German Democratic
Republic for young people, he said, adding that this would
encourage people to stay in the country.
The Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and
Shorter-Range Nuclear Missiles (INF Treaty) was an important
step towards controlled disarmament, he said. Whoever had more
weapons must disarm more. The meetings between Secretary of
State Baker and Foreign Minister Shevardnadze had provided signs
of hope. Negotiations on a comprehensive, global and verifiable
ban on chemical weapons must be completed.

The Foreign Minister of Morocco, Mr. FILALI, then said that his
own region had made major strides towards union. The
establishment of the Arab Maghreb Union had become an
imperative. Around the world, the trend was towards regional
integration as a factor of peace, harmony and stability. The
treaty that established the union -- comprised of Algeria, Libya,
Mauritania, Tunisia and Morocco -- had strengthened the ties
between those States and contributed to establish a regional
peace based on justice and equality. Integration would be
sought to the fullest, and ties would be reinforced with the
Gulf Co-operation Council and the Arab Co-operation Council.
Faithful to the idea that the so-called Western Sahara problem
should be resolved through self-determination, his country had
agreed in principle to the Secretary-General's peace plan on 30
August 1988. Morocco would continue to lend its backing to the
efforts made by the Secretary-General and the Chairman of the
Organization of African Unity (OAU), he stated.
Unlike the world political situation, he then said the
international economic picture did not offer even a glimmer of
hope. The problems of the countries of the South had grown
worse: the determination in the terms of trade, growing
protectionism and low prices for exports, had been compounded by
the burden of foreign indebtedness. The widening of the gap --
indeed, the chasm -- separating North from South was liable to
have an impact on the developed countries as well. For that
reason, it was a collective responsibility to help the
developing countries deal with those problems.
A "stop-gap approach" was not appropriate for a system in crisis,
he said. The world economy must be restructured, to take into
account the concerns of both sides. He had high hopes that next
year's special session of the General Assembly on development
questions would not be a missed opportunity and that specific
measures could be designed to create a more balanced
international economic order. For Morocco, co-operation with
developing countries was an essential element, he said.
South-South co-operation was an important factor in reaching a
better equilibrium in world economic relations.
In concluding, he said the world was undergoing profound
structural changes in many areas and international solidarity
was an imperative in order to deal with such changes. The
international community was duty-bound to strengthen the United
Nations so that prosperity and peace could reign throughout the
globe.
