UN General Assembly
1958

7. The United Nations has many functions, many of which have done a great deal of good in the nonpolitical fields. But it can be said with truth that 95 per cent of the real purpose of the United Nations is to ban the use of force for territorial ends. We have to ask ourselves if the world can continue to run the grave risk of another world conflagration that may well arise from this cause. 8. The most pressing and urgent task facing the United Nations today is to build up throughout all nations an effective recognition that the use of force to settle territorial issues will no longer be tolerated by the world community. Nothing would do more to allay the fears of our generation, and to improve the prospects of peace in the future.
