                                                    5 December 1986

                    Trade embargo against Nicaragua
 
     The General Assembly,
 
     Recalling its resolutions 2625 (XXV) of 24 October 1970 and 40/185 and
40/188 of 17 December 1985,
 
     Reaffirming the sovereign and inalienable right of Nicaragua and the
other States in Central America to determine their own political, economic and
social systems, and to develop their international relations according to
their peoples' interests, free of outside interference, subversion, direct and
indirect coercion or threats of any kind,
 
     Deeply concerned at the fact that the trade embargo against Nicaragua
still persists and has been extended and broadened as from May 1986,
 
     Considering the judgement of the International Court of Justice, dated
27 June 1986, by which the Court decided that the country that imposed the
embargo had a duty immediately to cease and to refrain from said act,
 
     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the trade
embargo against Nicaragua,
 
     1.   Invites all States members of the international community to
continue to promote concrete forms of co-operation in Central America, in
particular to help reduce the negative effects of the trade embargo adopted
against Nicaragua;
 
     2.   Deplores the continuation of the trade embargo contrary to General
Assembly resolution 40/188 and the judgement of the International Court of
Justice, and requests once again that those measures be immediately revoked;
 
     3.   Requests the Secretary-General to report to the General Assembly at
its forty-second session on the implementation of the present resolution.
