UN General Assembly
1952

2. Peace continues to be the basic objective of the United Nations. The Organization was certainly not: established to perpetuate the world of 1945, with its fixed groups of victors and vanquished, nor to drag out interminably the settlement of the hates, destruction and rivalries of the last war. No more than any other political organization can the United Nations remain static. As a creation of man, it must follow the course of events, endeavouring at all times to devise methods which must always vary, calculated to provide better conditions of life for the international community.
