UN General Assembly
1958

21. This General Assembly has on its agenda a number of important and topical questions which must be solved. Among the outstanding international problems which are agitating the peoples of the world the most important are those of the prohibition of atomic and hydrogen weapons tests, the reduction of armaments, armed forces and military budgets, and the removal of the threat of a new world war created by the aggressive actions of the United States in the Far East. If these problems are to be solved, the United Nations must display a spirit of mutual understanding and practical co-operation, mutual respect and trust in its deliberations, for what the peoples of the world need is not a balancing on the brink of war, an armaments race and the stockpiling of atomic and hydrogen bombs, but peace mid tranquillity.
