UN General Assembly

6. Whether it was a question of the war in Viet-Nam, the fratricidal struggles in Africa, or the problems in the Middle East and it is always with emotion that we recall the deep understanding shown by the Secretary-General and the entire Organization each time that it was necessary during these last 14 years here to debate such matters as the defense of the sovereignty and integrity of the Republic of Haiti. Whether it was a question of the defense of the human dignity of peoples who are victims of colonialism or racial discrimination, or whether it was a question of the economic and social development of the under-developed countries, impartial history will recall, Mr. Secretary-General, your many initiatives as a proof of manifest goodwill and devotion to the cause of international peace.
