UN General Assembly
1957

65. We would have liked the Powers most directly concerned in the situation created in Hungary to show the same respect for the Assembly's decisions and the same willingness to comply with them. 66. To return to the crisis in the Middle East, I think it may be said with certainty that our Organization won prestige and authority through the firmness and speed with which it faced this problem. For it organized the United Nations Emergency Force very promptly, and this Force was able to make an invaluable contribution to the restoration of order in the region. The organization of that Force and the efficiency with which it discharged its delicate duties encourage us to look forward to the establishment of a permanent force of this sort, whose deployment wherever danger threatened would be the best means of safeguarding the peace. Such a force, moreover, would be a first step towards establishing the international army so earnestly desired by the authors of the Charter.
