I listened with keen interest to your opening statement, and the Swiss delegation agrees with everything you have said.

We have taken note of your initial statement today, and we wish to assure that we shall participate in the four sessions that you have indicated for the weeks ahead.

I think that your statement was a very important one, especially when you remind us that the passivity in this chamber is nothing but a reflection of insufficient political willingness in a number of capitals to negotiate treaty law.
