40. At the national level, problems are viewed from the standpoint of the immediate interests of each State and in the light of its main concern to safeguard its national sovereignty. At the international level, the search for solutions to the problems and conflicts under consideration proceeds from a broader interpretation of our responsibilities; it is directed towards a less selfish goal. Here, we act, and are in the habit of acting, as representatives of the different members of the community of mankind, and our first concern should be to safeguard peace and to ensure that individual interests are adjusted to each other without the use of force.
