UN General Assembly
1964

8. The financial crisis threatening to paralyse the United Nations is a matter of concern to all of us. Our world cannot live in peace and stability without the United Nations. We sincerely hope that a wise and lasting solution will be speedily found for this crisis, so that the existence of our Organization may not be jeopardized by clashes and rivalries between the big Powers. 9. I should like here to express the appreciation of my delegation for the efforts exerted by the Secretary- General and all those co-operating with him in finding an acceptable solution to this problem. 10. It is heartening to Libya to realize that next year we shall be commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations. In welcoming this event, we trust that 1965 will see the fulfilment of the aspirations of all those who do not yet enjoy basic rights and fundamental liberties.
