UN General Assembly
1947

In the name of the whole nation, the Polish delegation appeals to all the peoples whose representatives are here assembled. It exhorts them to rise above the special interests of selfish groups, to consolidate and develop the splendid ideas contained in the United Nations Charter, to implement the Charter by measures requisite for the creation of a durable and indivisible peace, to raise the general standard of living while respecting the rights of peoples great and small, regardless of race, religion and social ideology. That will be the guiding force in the work of the Polish delegation during the present session, and that is the hope cherished by the Polish people with regard to the results of our deliberations.
