REPORT ON U.S. PARTICIPATION
IN THE WORK OF THE UNITED
NATIONS-MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Mc-
INTYRE) laid before the Senate a mCSSagC
from the President of the United States,
which, with the accompanying report,
was referred to the Oommittee on For-
eign Relations. The message is as fol-
lows:
To the Congress o1 the United States:
I am pleased to transmit to the Con-
gress the 27th annual report on United
States participation in the work of the
United Nations during calendar year
1972.
This report reflects the' increasing
range of 'global concerns with which
United Nations agencies are dealing. It
highlights not only the opportunities but
also the limits of operating through the
United Nations system during an era of
growing international interdependence.
In recent years, United Nations agen-
cies have came to deal increasingly with
the economic and technical agenda of
the world ixi addition to the long-stand-
ing agenda of peace. and security ques-
Lions. Indeed, as this account makes
clear, these agencies are now engaged in
some manner in virtually every govern-
mental activity that crosses national
lines.
The United States participated ac-
tively in these cooperative effalfis to help
safeguard peace and lessen world ten-
sions, to foster economic and social.
progress, and to cope with a wide array
of legal and technological problems.
Three themes characterized our par-
ticipation during 1972:
(1) Even though we recognized the
limitations of the United Nations
in salving or even abating many.
political disputes, we supported
its participation where appropri-
ate to reconcile such disputes, to
curb international terrorism and
outbreaks of violence, and to de-
vise workable arrangements far
peacekeeping operations. In order
to serve the long-term interest of
the international community, we
worked in the Gezleral Assembly,
the Security Council, and subsid-
iary bodies to have the United Na-
tions deal evenhandedly and
pragmatically with such politi-
die East, decalanization, and
human rights.
We took the lead in seeking new
arrangements and institutions to
deal with worldwide social and
technological concerns. Although
we encountered some resistance,
we pressed forward toward the
goals of assuring the safety of civil
aviation, protecting the environ-
ment, checking the illicit flow of
We stressed the importance of
having the United Nations act re-
spoxlsibly, equitably, and eflicient-
ly in ordering its. financial and
administrative affairs so that it
could carry out its tasks more ef-
foctively. Progress was mado in
holding dawn the budgets of some
agencies, budgeting procedures
were improved, and the principle
of a lower maximum ceiling for
the Uluted States assessment was
endorsed. Nevertheless, the under-
lying financial problems were not
solved and further administrative
and procedural reforms are
needed in the United Nations.
This report shows that, despite polit-
ical and administrative shortcomings,
multilateral agencies connected with the
United Nations offered practical re-
sponses to worldwide problems of press-
ing concern to the American people.
Given the fast pace of political, social,
and technological change in recent years,
it is not surprising that the record of ac-
complishments was uneven and there
were setbacks as well as successes.
During 1972 developments at the
United Nations were affected by certain
-long-term trends which both hold prom-
ise and pose problems for effective
United Nations aetioil.
-The loosening of old antagonisms,
the entry of the People's Republic
. of China into the mainstream of
United Nations work, and the grow-
ing importance of powers such as
Japan could in the long run enable
a neal?-universal United Nations to
become a more effective instrument
for dealing with serious world polit-
ical and security problems.
-However, we also have to recognize
.that the continuing tendency to use
the United Nations for propaganda
advantage and to pursue political.
rivalries makes accommodation more
difficult. For the- near term, where
the interests of its strongest mem-
bers are engaged, the organization
can deal only in a limited way with
highly contentious political ? issues.
-The emergence in United Nations
bodies and conferences of an active
majority led by a number of the
developing nations continued to
make for some distortions in deter-
mining the areas of greatest United.
Nations attention. While we fully
recognize the inherent right of all
member nations to be heard, the
voting weight of this maiority, with
its sometimes narrowly defined pre-
occupations, has tended to create
imbalance and to place strains on
the effective functioning of the
Orgarilzatl0n.
This report reflects the growing co-
hesion which has taken place among the
third world countries, notably with re-
spect to colonial. issues and to demands
that rules of international trade and aid
be altered in their favor. We were par-
agreed to. world pofzulatiom growth, pressure of bloc votin8, the organization
