UN General Assembly
1966

50. My delegation has invariably participated in the work of the United Nations with full faith in the ultimate achievement of the purposes for which our Organization was established, namely, the preservation of mankind from the scourge of war. the advancement of human rights, the expansion of friendly co-operation among States, and the promotion of social progress by raising the living standards of all peoples in an atmosphere of the widest possible freedom. 51. El Salvador will continue to make every effort to fulfill the task common to all States of defending the fundamental principles of human co-existence, without which it would be impossible for international order to subsist. Small States like El Salvador feel themselves called upon to act as it were as the world's conscience, ever ready to contribute to the more effective prevalence of the force of right, the only guarantee of peace and security for all the peoples of the world.
