UN General Assembly
1952

Seven years have passed since the establishment of the United Nations, and we are now foregathered in our new magnificent home. Does the fact that we possess a permanent workshop indicate that we are definitely entering an era of better international relations? The Secretary-General — whose intention to resign we have with sincere regret just learned — in his opening statement [376th meeting] remarked that in 1945 the United Nations had no home except in the hearts of the people.
