UN General Assembly
1954

76. I have tried to indicate lines upon which we should fashion our conduct and steer our discussions, ways by which the momentum towards real peace can be maintained and increased. I have endeavoured to speak objectively. I may have said some unpalatable things, but I have been trying to deal with real problems, about which I feel deeply, in real terms. I have tried to deal with some of the matters which have already been raised in the course of the general debate. 77. Whatever may be said about the practice and performance of the United Nations, I still believe that the only chance for permanent peace lies in a world organization such as this, endowed with the requisite authority and enabled to use that authority. We are, many of us, conscious of the force of public opinion in our own countries. One of our primary tasks here is to create a climate of world opinion. In this materialistic age let us not underestimate the moral force of the world opinion that can be generated here.
