• Armed Israeli aggression against the Iraqi nuclear installations and its grave consequences for the established international system concerning the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, the non- proliferation of nuclear weapons and international peace and security: report of the Secretary-General I. The PRESIDENT: (interpretation from Spanish): I should like to propose that the list of speakers in the debate on this item be closed this afternoon at 5 p.m, If I hear no objection it will be so decided. It was so decided. 2. Mr. AL-ZAHAWIE (Iraq): The item before us, on the armed Israeli aggression against the Iraqi nuclear installations. conunues to be included in the agenda of the General Assembly because of the aggressor's intransigence in refusing to comply with the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council. 3. In spite of the fact that Security Council resolu- tion 487 (1981) concerning the Israeli attack still stands unimplemented, certain Western delegations have argued that the issue should no longer be pursued by the Assembly. It has even been alleged that since the Security Council arri ved at a satisfacto- ry conclusion-a unanimous vote on resolution 487 (1981)-no useful purpose would be served by continuing the debate in the Assembly. 4. Similar arguments will no doubt be reiterated during the present debate. The fallaciousness of such arguments and their grave consequences for the Organization as a whole have been admirably ex- posed by the Secretary-General himself in his report on the work of the Organization 10 the thirty-seventh session.' The Secretary-General stated: "There is a tendency in the United Nations for Governments to act as though the passage of a resolution absolved them from further responsibili- ty for the subject in question. Nothing could be further from the intention of the Charter. In fact resoturions, particularly those unanimously adopt- ed by the Security Council, should serve as a springboard for governmental support and deter- minaiion and should motivate their policies out- Side the United Nations. This indeed is the essence of the treaty obligation which the Charter imposes

The PRESIDENT: Next, I should like to draw the attention ofthe General Assembly to a note of21 March 1985 contained in document N39/867, in which the Secretary-General informed the Assembly that the United Nations Conference on Conditions for Registration of Ships had requested him to seek the approval of the General Assembly at its resumed thirty-ninth session to resume the Conference for a period of two weeks in July 1985. May I take it that the General Assembly has no objection to reopening consideration of item 80 (c) in order to consider at this resumed session the request submitted by the Conference? It was so decided.
