UN General Assembly
1946

I should now like to point out that the members of the Bolivian delegation to this Assembly were present neither at the Dumbarton Oaks Conference, nor at the San Francisco Conference, nor at that held in London. We are therefore a new team, consisting of new men. We represent a new Government, sprung from one of the most singular popular movements in history. It is the women, workers, and students who, thanks to their sacrifices, have been able to restore public liberties. This Government has recently declared that it intends to respect international conventions, private property and also all the capital invested in our country, attracted by the riches of our sub-soil, which has as yet been inadequately explored. This Government of judges and magistrates, professors and workers has announced that elections will be held on 5 January next. Thus, in one and half months’ time, the people of my country will be called upon freely to express their will by electing their constitutional government.
