UN General Assembly
1975

145. The United States and the Soviet Union are now endeavoring zealously to convince us that the conclusion of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe marks the beginning of a new era: the era of peace, tranquility and stability, cooperation in all areas, and the beginning of general harmony. 146. The fact is, though, that there has been no change in Europe, however small, which might even justify such an assertion, and there is no reason to expect that such positive developments will ensue in that area simply because of a Conference such as the one at Helsinki, which began and ended as a Soviet-American plot, or because of the repeated proclamation of certain standards and principles which have long been recognized but which the imperialist Powers have never respected and will never respect. The bitter past reminds the peoples of Europe that they must be ever watchful not to be misled by the two super-Powers.
