UN General Assembly
1960

206. In this connexion I cannot help referring to the question of the representation of China, which stands in a class by itself. In our opinion, the United Nations can neither become universal nor can it reflect the political realities existing in the world today until the People1# Republic of China is given its rightful place in the Organization. The United Nations will not be able to fulfil effectively some of its most important purposes and functions until the People's Republic of China is brought in. The United Nations Charter speaks of "the peoples of the United Nations", and it cannot be fully representative of the peoples of the world when 630 million people have been deprived of the beneficent and constructive influences of the various activities of the United Nations. In questions like this that are vital to the effectiveness and growth of the United Nations itself, I feel that greater imagination and foresight are needed than the United Nations has thus far shown. In this connexion we feel that the Mongolian People's Republic too has a rightful claim to membership of this Organization.
