UN General Assembly
1966

76. In regard to the new countries of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland, we rejoice to see that the first two have achieved independence; but we well know the difficulty of their situation, surrounded as they are by South Africa, Rhodesia and Portugal. We therefore ask the United Kingdom, in the first place, to do everything to ensure that their territorial integrity and independence are guaranteed. 77. No country is more anxious than Niger to see the United Nations, in keeping with its own fundamental principles, recover the universal character which the peoples of the whole world expect of it. That is why we welcome the return of the Republic of Indonesia, whose successive delegations and Permanent Representatives have always enriched our debates, to its legitimate place. We welcome with equal enthusiasm the arrival of the Republic of Guyana among us; its history of struggle, heroism and self-control is the guarantee of the positive contribution it will make to our work.
