3.  Credentials of representatives to the thirty-ninth session of the General Assembly (conclude4):* (a) Appointment of the members of the Credentials Committee; (b) Report of the Credentials Committee I. The PRESIDENT: I invite members to turn their attention to the draft resolution recommended by the Credentials Committee in paragraph 13 of its second report [A/39/574/Add.1]. The Credentials Commit- tee adopted that draft resolution without a vote. May I take it that the General Assembly wishes to do likewise?

The draft resolution was adopted (resolution 39/3 B).

143.  Inadmissibility of the policyof State terrorism a..~ llny actions by States aimed at undermining the socio- political system in other sovereign States 2. Mr. KESSELY (Chad), Rapporteur of the First Committee (imerpretation from French): I have the honour to present to the General Assembly the reports of the First Committee on its work under item 66, on Antarctica, and on the questions of international security, under items 67, 68, 69 and 143 oftheagenda. They are contained in documents AJ391156 to 759 and 761. 3. The First Committee considered the question of the Antarctic from 28 to 30 November and adopted a draft resolution. This is a very complex and sensitive subject because of the interests involved. Neverthe- less, the general debate on this item demonstrated once again, the peaceful and universal character of that continent. Delegations which spoke in the discussion all reaffirmed that Antarctica must be free from the arms race and from political rivalries. They renounced all claim to ownership and any territorial claims. On the other hand, international co-operation in the area of scientific research, peaceful exploita- tion of the resources and protection of the environ- ment were stressed by many delegations. 4. The report of the Secretary-General [A/39/583 (Part I) and Corr.I andA/39/583 (Part I1)and Corr.I, vol. 1 to UI]prepared in accordance with General Assembly resolution 38177, was widely appreciated, and this appreciation is expressed in the draft resolution adopted, on this item. 5. I submit to the General Assembly for adoption the recommendation ofthe First Committee found in 'paragraph·7 of the report [A/391756]. 6. " Regarding the questionsofintemational security, the Committee considered the items under this heading from 3 to 7 December 1984. The exchange of views occurred in a climate of relative detente, perhaps because international security had not been spectacularly challenged, this year or because there has been'a beginningofa softening of the relations between the two major Powers, and perhaps, also through lassitude, because we have come to regard existing sources of tension as part of our daily lives. Nevertheless, these points of tension were ,hot ne- glected. On the contrary, they served as specific examples on which to base denunciations of the lack r~que!lt of the Soviet Union, and,was allocated to the '., In favour: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Firs!
