UN General Assembly
1963

64. The peace with which we all are enchanted and to which all our efforts are dedicated will be meaningless if its realities are translated only into mechanical terms. It will be meaningless if its purpose is only the elimination of the tools of war. It will be meaningless if disputes are decided by the rule of force, not the rule of law and justice. It will be meaningless if political expediency and vested interests set the norms of international relationships and conduct. Such a peace cannot rise to the hopes of my people. It cannot heal the wounds of the Arab nation, caused by the historic aggression in Palestine. 65. My country, which lives in the range of vision of the disaster of Palestine, cannot sleep with pleasant dreams. The hundreds of thousands of unfortunate human beings who are herded nowadays into camps within the border of the Jordan Kingdom represent a nation that has been ruined by the action of the United Nations at one time and the inaction of the United Nations at other times.
