UN General Assembly
1956

29. I think there is a great deal to be said for having those primarily acquainted with a problem and primarily concerned with its solution sitting down together to discuss it; at least in such circumstances one might have a chance of a solution which dealt with the real facts of a situation as they impinged upon the countries principally interested. 30. What I say is particularly relevant, of course, to the new type of item which seems to be becoming more popular in the General Assembly — problems, one might call them, of acquisitiveness in which one Member State says in effect to the Assembly, “I want a piece of territory which at present is attached to another Member State, I want to ask the Assembly’s moral support in furthering my claim.”
