YUGOSLAVIA AT THE TWENTY-THIRD SESSION OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Summary/Abstract: The twenty-third session of the United Nations General Assembly was held in New York from September 17 to December 21,1968.1 There were 97 items on the agenda which were discussed either in Plenum or in one of the seven Committees of the Assembly. The general debate in Plenum, in which heads of 110 delegations took part, reflected the deep concern of most delegates over the aggravation of the general international situation. Existing world crises — Vietnam and the Middle East — had been aggravated by the situation created through military intervention in Czechoslovakia the negative repercussions of which were deeply felt throughout the work of the General Assembly. To this should be added the increasingly serious position of the developing countries in international trade and the growing gap between them and the industrially developed countries.
