UN General Assembly
1958

142. In respect of securing a more peaceful future, it is our opinion that a United Nations peace force could play a major role. We do not consider it necessary that a special United Nations force be established on a permanent international basis, and we consider that a contingent of military personnel could be kept available within many different nations, to be called upon in cases of emergency by the decision of the United Nations. Thus, the new peace force of the United Nations would function as a kind of international fire brigade to prevent minor disturbances and local fights from turning into a world conflict. We must always bear in mind that any hostilities, wherever they arise on the globe, are in our present condensed world likely to spread into a major war.
