UN General Assembly
1962

106. Among the items to be considered at this seventeenth session is one entitled Consideration of principles of international law concerning friendly relations and co-operation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations". We are not too sanguine as to the effectiveness of such an investigation as a real means of establishing friendship and co-operation between nations. It is not enough for men to know the truth; they must also will it, and to seek and operate truth must become a habit, a second nature, so that thought and action become one, instead of being, as seems to be characteristic of the spirit of our times, permanently dissociated.
