UN General Assembly
1963

58. We hail the Addis Ababa Conference of African Heads of State for its important contribution to the liberation of all the peoples of Africa, to the solidarity of all the African countries, and to the struggle against imperialism and against colonialism old and new. 59. The tragic events in the Congo reveal how the colonial Powers use the name of the United Nations to keep in slavery peoples who have risen up in the sacred struggle for freedom. The Government of the People's Republic of Albania will never agree to support, even indirectly, a policy directed to such ends. It therefore states, as it has already stated at previous sessions, that it will not participate in expenditure on the United Nations forces in the Congo and in the Middle East, or on purposes contrary to the principles and provisions of the United Nations Charter.
