UN General Assembly
1956

146. May I remind the Assembly that national pride, and the right to conduct their own domestic affairs, are the prerogatives not only of the strong. The smaller States are equally jealous of their sovereignty, and of their national honour. 147. When addressing the Members of this Assembly on 15 November, I said that they should not make the mistake of assuming that South Africa’s patience is inexhaustible. In spite of that warning the Assembly for the eleventh time acted in violation of Article 2, paragraph 7, of the Charter, and in complete disregard of the sovereign rights of a Member State of the United Nations.
