UN General Assembly
1981

148. Those countries which openly trample on fundamental human rights and torture, kill or cause to disappear their presumed or real enemies are not lovers of peace. 149. Those countries which have built an unfair world which they have held for their own benefit for generations, and which refuse to make the smallest changes to alleviate manifest injustice, are not lovers of peace. 150. As President of a peaceful and united people, I again express my wishes for peace, a true peace, a peace without pitfalls. 151. The gap between the more developed and less developed countries cannot be maintained indefinitely. 152. It cannot be assumed that the dispossessed will for long accept with resignation their gradual and irreversible impoverishment. 153. The United Nations is the proper forum for the correction of existing wrongs through negotiation. I wished to -be present at this thirty-sixth session of the General Assembly to restate Venezuela's faith in this Organization, and in peace and the hope of achieving peace.
