UN General Assembly
1960

166. I wish to turn now to a subject which seems to my delegation to be of extreme importance. The life of the United Nations is not becoming simpler but, on the contrary, more difficult and it seems to us that there is one way only to keep this Organization, upon which the hopes of the entire world depend, alive and active. That is to live up strictly to the United Nations Charter. The Charter does not allow for a state of war among Member States; the Charter does not allow for boycott of Member States; it is not in keeping with the spirit of the Charter to bring pressure upon one Member State in order to prevent it from hawing diplomatic relations with another Member State. A propaganda of hate is contrary to the spirit of the Charter. We believe that compromising with principles does not assure the efficient functioning of the United Nations.
