UN General Assembly
1985

I come to this celebration in order to share with the great family of the United Nations wishes, but also fears,, hopes, but also doubts, aspirations as well as frustrations. I come so that all of us together might evaluate for decades of experience and find paths towards the solution of the many problems that still confront us. I come, in short, in order to try to help make this Organization, the repository of so many hopes, more efficient, more dynamic and more own own. This shared celebration should result in a collective act of faith in the United Nations and in an expression of political will, so that our plans shall not remain, as they have on numerous other occasions, mere words filed away together with many other good projects in the archives of this Organization.
