     ABDULKARIM AL-ERYANI, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Yemen, said
     the United Nations should be supported in the maintenance of
     international peace and security as it was the best alternative
     available and the sole authority to solve international
     problems.  The recent positive developments in the world had
     been promoted, in large measure, by the United Nations and its
     Secretary-General, he added.  The ideology of confrontation and
     hostility were happily being replaced by new relations of
     co-operation and negotiations.

     He reiterated his country's support for the proposed elimination
     of nuclear weapons by the end of the twentieth century.  Yemen
     also endorsed the proposals for the banning of all nuclear
     tests.

     The situation in the Middle East, he then said, was still fraught
     with danger.  The aggressive policies of Israel against the Arab
     Palestinian people were the root cause of the problem.  Israel's
     "murderous and expansionist policies", he stated, had resulted
     in violations of human rights and international law.  A
     super-Power which abstained on resolutions denouncing the
     Israeli practices was not helpful to the situation, he added.

     The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), he went on, had
     shown great flexibility in its bold moves towards peace, but
     Israel persisted in its acts of aggression and rode roughshod
     over United Nations resolutions calling for it to desist.

     He called for the immediate withdrawal of Israel from all Arab
     territories occupied since 1967 and to sit at the negotiating
     table with the parties concerned particularly the PLO.  The five
     permanent members of the Security Council bore the primary
     responsibility in bringing about a solution to the Middle East
     problem and the ultimate establishment of a free and independent
     state of Palestine in its homeland.  "The responsibility for the
     fire lay not only with those who lit the fire, but also with
     those who fanned its flames", he said.

     He also urged Member States to support the efforts of the
     Tripartite Arab Committee to end the crisis in Lebanon.  The
     zionist entity should also be made to withdraw from all Lebanese
     territory.
