UN General Assembly
1959

163. Guatemala maintains unchanged its traditional stand against all manifestations of colonialism, which it still holds should be banished from the face of the earth. In the present century, when the principles on which the United Nations is based have developed so far and won such general acceptance, any form of domination of one people by another is out of date and incompatible with the existence of human rights. There is no longer any room for the theory that there are superior and inferior peoples and that the world can be divided into masters and slaves. The world will not be deceived by the false argument that less-developed peoples need guidance and assistance from those who are more advanced, since the usual practice has been domination rather than guidance, and exploitation rather than assistance.
