UN General Assembly
1962

71. The United Nations is the only international body which is able, despite its difficulties, to work towards restoring confidence and stability in the world and establishing sincerely peaceful coexistence based on justice, mutual respect and brotherly co-operation. Despite its imperfections, which are inherent in its very nature and in its democratic structure, it has in large measure answered the hopes of the peoples. It has intervened directly to stop hostilities and to prevent others, and to correct situations in which international peace and security were seriously threatened. Directly or indirectly, thanks to the moral pressure exerted by its resolutions throughout the world, it has helped to promote the settlement of serious disputes or to find just and fitting solutions for problems which are often very complicated.
