UN General Assembly
1964

99. Nineteen years have passed since the end of the Second World War, which caused so much suffering to the peoples of the world. The threat of a new world war remains, but in the meantime profoundly revolutionary events have occurred which have swung the balance of forces in favour of the forces of pef.ee and have aroused the courage and confidence of the peoples in their struggle for peace, national independence and social advancement. 100. On 29 November 1964 the Albanian people, who were among the first victims of nazi-fascist aggression and who suffered extremely heavy losses in life and property during their struggle for national liberation, celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the people's liberation and revolution. 101. In the history of our nation, the date 29 November 1944 marks the dividing line between two worlds, the world in which our nation was always trampled underfoot by the "powerful" and had no rights, and that in which it has raised itself to the position of all-powerful master of its own destiny.
