UN General Assembly
1971

14. It is true that, in view of the universal nature of the United Nations, it would be desirable to open our doors to the People's Republic of China with the assurance that the latter would profess respect for the principles in the name of which we are met here in this Assembly. 15. But, we must also recognize that the Republic of China is a real entity, an independent and sovereign State, a founding Member of the Organization and in that capacity the Republic of China fulfills all its obligations under the Charter. Legally, to what can one refer to justify its expulsion from the Organization, to which it has always made such a positive and effective contribution? 16. These are, in the understanding of the Government of the Republic of Haiti, the principles and facts which should guide the work of the twenty-sixth session of the General Assembly if it is to arrive at fruitful conclusions which will give rise to progress in concord among men from every corner of the world.
