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

Summary/Abstract: The twenty-sixth session of the United Nations General Assembly was held in New York from September 21 to December 21, 1971.1 There were 106 items on the agenda which were discussed either in Plenum or in the main Committees of the Assembly. The session began in a favorable atmosphere thanks to the many important changes that had taken place in international relations in the course of 1971. The general debate in which 112 foreign ministers and other heads of delegations took part, was dominated by positive developments in the world situation, especially the further relaxation of tensions in Europe and improved conditions for cooperation on this Continent, the continuation of negotiation among the Great Powers, but even more by the intensive contacts between many countries, the increasing emergence of the People’s Republic of China on the international stage, the American-Chinese dialogue, and in particular the pending visit of President Nixon to Peking.
