UN General Assembly
1946

I refer firstly to the admission of new States to membership in the United Nations, and secondly to the presence of foreign troops in non-enemy countries. These are problems of a general nature, but I wish to deal only with the concrete case of Yugoslavia and her neighbours, Albania and Greece. According to Article 4 of the Charter, “Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace-loving States which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations.” The United Nations, however, originated in the great coalition of peace-loving nations which took an active part in the struggle against fascism and succeeded in bringing about peace.
