UN General Assembly
1962

163. As the representative of a country, which, while observing its strict neutrality, is desirous of participating in European integration, I wish to assure you on this occasions that the States which Wish to create a large common market in Europe, in which the countries of the European Economic Community as well as the countries of the European Free Trade Association would participate, are far from pursuing objectives based on power politics or military designs. 164. Occasionally we hear it said that the, United Nations finds itself in a crisis because the number of smaller States has become so great since San Francisco. It is my opinion that the principle of one State, one Member, one vote, must remain intact because it is a fundamentally democratic principle. The large States have many other possibilities of throwing their weight into the balance of world politics.
