UN General Assembly
1968

49. Belgium’s contribution to the general debate of the General Assembly’s twenty-third session has had but one object, to state what we consider essential: that is, to set up the machinery for economic and social exchanges to ensure the development of the still less favoured nations; to restore international order based on the equal and sovereign rights of all States; to accept the strength of the largest States and their special responsibility when their actions embody the spirit of the Charter and take the form of projects beneficial to distressed regions; to reinforce the search for peace, and to start building it where we should start — in Europe.
