UN General Assembly
1960

66. The destiny of Tunisia is inseparable from that of Algeria. Our future, like our distant or more recent past, is the same. The freedom of Tunisia would be but a reprieve, if the Algerian war continued amid the indifference of the nations or ended with the victory of brute force over justice, of might over right, of oppression over freedom. 67. The responsibilities of the United Nations in Africa have been adequately stressed. In Algeria the Organization has a great, delicate and urgent responsibility. Need I repeat what so many other speakers have said — that at this moment human beings are dying, families are being deported, homes razed to the ground and death sentences passed and executed? 68. The Government of the Republic of Tunisia has been pleased and encouraged by the many statements made from this rostrum in support of the just and rightful cause of the Algerian people.
