UN General Assembly
1963

57. The Albanian people and its Government firmly defend the fundamental right of peoples to self-determination, and their right to freedom and sovereignty. There can be neither lasting peace nor solid international co-operation so long as peoples still suffer under foreign domination. That is why we consider that the total and final elimination of colonialism is the main task of our age. That is why we salute and shall wholeheartedly support until victory the heroic and sacrificial struggle of the peoples of Oman and Zanzibar, Angola and Mozambique, Portuguese Guinea, Southern Rhodesia, North Kalimantan, and others. We support the incontestable right of British Guiana to full and immediate national independence. We condemn the savage oppression and the war of extermination waged against the people subjugated by colonial Powers like Portugal, the United Kingdom and South Africa, and also by the United States of America, which is doing everything possible to support the colonial Powers in this criminal undertaking and striving to substitute its own colonial and neo-colonial rule for the former colonial system.
