UN General Assembly
1959

While we know that, at times, this becomes exceedingly difficult because of the existence of two powerful political groups opposed to each other, and because of pressures which may be brought to bear, the opinions of small countries, nevertheless, are not unworthy of careful consideration, especially, for instance, in those issues such as world peace, freedom and independence, in which they are vitally interested. We therefore hope that there will not be any desire to segregate too much the bigger issues for consideration only by a section or a segment of ourselves, even if that happens to constitute the great Powers. What we have already heard from them in the course of this debate makes it clear that the smaller Powers also could make a useful contribution.
