UN General Assembly
1965

126. My Government notes with regret that the Viet-Nam crisis has escalated dangerously close to a general war in South-East Asia by the United States intensified military interference and the regular devastation of the country through aerial bombardments and combat action on the ground. It is believed on good evidence that the United States is using Viet-Nam as a testing ground for newly devised American weapons of destruction. If the United States hopes to bring pressures to bear on North Viet-Nam to settle the crisis "peacefully'' by military offensive, it is certainly displaying a shortsighted policy. How can one talk of peace in one breath and carry out aggressive military activities in the next? How can one talk of peace and friendship with a gun in one's hand? How can one create an atmosphere conducive to peaceful negotiations when behind the back of intending negotiators deliberate and sustained attempts are made for the physical obliteration of the State apparatus of the so-called enemy?
