UN General Assembly
1960

269. It is our fervent wish that our friends the nations which have just joined our ranks may be able to enjoy their independence and freedom to the full in peace and to maintain Governments based on the principles of democracy, justice, social progress and human dignity. These are among the purposes which the authors of the United Nations Charter made the cornerstone of their service to the cause of peace and to humanity, those which take precedence over all others. To put it another way, the peace of the world which all men of good will desire and towards which our highest aspirations are directed will be only an illusion unless it is accompanied by the emancipation of individuals from all restrictions on their personal freedom and by the disappearance of all regimes of oppression which subject their peoples to moral and social restraint.
