UN General Assembly
1980

48. I have just set forth the views of my Government on the most important political aspects of the crisis of our time, which could at any moment plunge mankind into confrontations with unforeseeable consequences. But to those threats to international peace and security represented by more or less limited regional conflicts we should add those which stem from the persistence of injustice and inequality in international economic relations. Indeed, as is stressed by the Secretary-General in his excellent report on the work of the Organization, "peace is as much at stake in the discussions on economic questions as prosperity and a decent standard of living for all humanity".
