UN General Assembly
1956

86. I should like to remind those who try to blame the United Nations for the crisis, that a generous correction of a mistaken policy needs no excuse and that we should not attribute to the Organization defects which are our own. We should like to remind the sceptics who want international problems solved boldly and instantaneously that their pessimism would soon vanish if they only paused to think what the consequences of each of these crises would have been if our Organization, with its great moral strength in the eyes of the world, had not existed.
