During the first speech madam president has recall to our memory while bad times and how the latest events of insecurity had created the need for a against a Arms Race into Outer Space.
Most of the states applauded enthusiastically the end of the speech apparently full of jokes, but the main reason is that was sooooo long and as usual in this types of congresses.
The good point is that seems that all states agree that exist a fear and need for a treaty or at least a modification or appendix of the old ones. The nuclear power still the main politic and diplomatic work to do and some countries are using it to gain international position and respect or fear depending of who speaks.

Complete Speach:
Dear distinguished delegations I declare open the 10045 plenary meeting of the Conference on Disarmament and the first part of its 2007 session.
As you will all recall on 22 December last year a massive 40 m asteroid impacted A gypsies camp killing a lot of gypsies.
In the face of this tragedy, the international community has, once again, responded quickly and generously, providing life-saving assistance on the ground, as well as pledging the necessary funds for recovery of the affected areas. But not only human lives were affected by this high energy explosion but also diverse ecosystems were damaged. Hence, it is not only humans who are risking. One should learn a lesson from nature. Humanity shall not falsely create man-made equivalents.
I would like to express, on the behalf of the Conference on Disarmament and on my own behalf, the most sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to the peoples and governments of Gypsies. Let us hope that the on going negotiations at our sister organization Un coupous will be successful in deriving near earth object mitigations strategy.
The recent test of Antisatellite missile in response to other State’s actions denying access to space is stoking world-wide political tensions. It is in international community interests to prevent proliferation of these incidents.
In terms of transforming the lives of people and changing the appearance of cities and
rural communities alike, the industrial revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was
the greatest turning point in the history of the human race. Nevertheless, when we speak of
impact on human survival, the development of nuclear weapons in the mid-twentieth century
was no less profound than the industrial revolution.
It is an honor for me to open today the first plenary meeting of the Conference on Disarmament in the year 2007. I feel very privileged to preside over the Conference.
My country’s dedication to the ideals of disarmament has been proven many times in this
Council Chamber. I sincerely hope that my work as President of the CD - extremely demanding
and responsible - will be rendered easier by your support and cooperation.
the CD - as the sole multilateral body devoted to negotiating disarmament instruments - has maintained its significance. I dare say that everyone in this room shares this opinion. During the consultations I have conducted recently, nobody questioned the importance or usefulness of the CD. On the contrary, the vast majority of my interlocutors underscored the necessity of a swift return to substantive work in the Conference. Many of them expressed their regret that the Conference remained de facto inactive as far as negotiations were concerned.
The past year was exceptional in a way. It was filled with events awaited by all of us. We witnessed the publication of the report of the United Nations High-level Panel, A More
Secure World: Our Shared Responsibility. Most of its recommendations provided adequate
answers to the global threats to peace and security. The report constituted a solid basis for taking
decisions at the September United Nations Summit in New York. Unfortunately, the issues of arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation were not adequately reflected in the decisions taken during the Summit. In the meantime, the outcome of the NPT Review Conference, conducted in May, did not live up to the expectations of the international community. Such a situation has been the cause of frustration and resulted in quests for alternatives to the CD. It was reflected during the work of the First Committee of the General Assembly, when a group of countries submitted a proposal to create ad hoc committees. This has undoubtedly put a certain amount of pressure on the States members of the Conference. In response we should focus on finding an optimal way of achieving global security without impeding national security interests. We cannot afford to waste the opportunity to reach this goal
The Conference on Disarmament has an important role to play in assuring international
security and peace. Its importance is particularly crucial today, in an era of multipolar
international relations. We are faced with diverse challenges to international security. To name
but a few: the management and destruction of stockpiles of cold-war-era weapons, non-State
actors and weapons of mass destruction.
The role of the CD during the times of the rivalry of two super-Powers was instrumental.
Today its role is substantial. Let me say it clearly - here in this Council Chamber - we can make
a difference, we can lay the foundations for a better world tomorrow. We need to make every
possible effort to break the stalemate within the CD. What we need is creativity, flexibility and
above all the political will to make this Conference live up to the challenges outside this room.
And let me stress: the world outside will not wait until the CD adopts its programme of work.
Humanity’s destiny is in our hands distinguished collegues.
And now, without further delay let’s proceed to agenda.
After listening to the address of the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Japan, I would like to welcome a new colleague to the Conference on Disarmament, Ambassador Christina Rocca of the United States of America.
Ambassador Rocca has already had a distinguished career, and I am sure that her experience and professional insight will be a major catalyst for the work of this body. I wish to assure her of our entire cooperation.
I now give the floor to Ambassador Rocca.
I thank you for your brief remarks, and I now recognize the Syrian Arab Republic.
The gypsies community has kindly shown its appreciation to the CD
By inviting you all distinguishes delegates to participate in a celebration focusing our minds on ensuring that atrocities of the past will never ever ever ever ever ever manifest again.
