UN General Assembly
1991

In short, global and regional developments in the last four years have produced salient features of historic significance to the structure and texture of the international system. They provide the international system with a distinctive emerging order based on universal democratic values. My country has always stood for greater human freedom and development, as demonstrated by our opposition to colonialism, apartheid and all forms of racism, as well as our support for all efforts for development, disarmament and the protection and preservation of the environment. It is for these reasons that Tanzania values its membership in the United Nations, the Organisation of African Unity, the Non-Aligned Movement and the Group of 77. The existing complex International environment sets the context within which my delegation would like to reflect on the challenges to the international community.
