65. Turning now to the rising tide of nationalism in the continent of Africa and those parts of the earth where men are still being denied these rights and privileges by sheer means of force and might for personal gains and national aggrandizement, we are convinced of the pressing necessity for evolving some satisfactory formula to relieve this unjust situation. Until this is done, we wonder how the nations here assembled in this international Organization, whose prime purpose is to maintain world peace, can expect ever to attain that professed goal. There can be no peace without good will based upon a deep and abiding consciousness and regard for the rights of others, be they high or low, rich or poor, white or black, yellow or brown, and whether they emanate from the north, south, east or west. A willingness to safeguard and respect the fundamental rights of all men is essential to our quest for the solutions to complex problems.
