8. The real effective practice by all of use of the principles inscribed in the Charter of the United Nations, or even the faithful notions deriving from such principles, could provide the remedies for the ills afflicting the world. In our efforts to practice tolerance toward one another, we should develop a better understanding of each other's position, as well as a badly needed mutual respect. Refraining from attempts to interfere in, or exert pressure on, the internal affairs or vital interests of others, and renouncing the use or threat of force, are inalienable parts of that spirit of tolerance envisaged by the Charter, which accepts only peaceful methods to settle differences. None of these notions is new. Yet the inability or slowness of some members of the community of nations to adhere to these principles is responsible for the steps backward which the world has been making in the question of international trust and security. It is then imperative that we revert to the simple principles of tolerance and mutual respect, before it is too late, if we are ever to attain the solid ground which will lead to a real peace, under the law, with justice for all.
