UN General Assembly
1982

the Charter of the United Nations and that of the OAU: non-interference and mutually advantageous and reciprocally friendly cooperation; positive and dynamic non-alignment which in no way excludes our taking a position on various subjects of international interest; the implacable struggle against hegemony, whatever its source and active solidarity with all neighboring countries. We firmly state that Chad will never be a base for subversion or aggression against fraternal neighboring countries' For several years now constant conflicts have marked the relations among States Members of the Organization; recourse to the threat or use of force, political, diplomatic, economic and military pressures are common currency. This has led the Secretary- General in his report on the work of the Organization to state: "We are perilously near to a new international anarchy". These acts of insecurity are leading to the proliferation of hotbeds of crisis the world over. This applies especially to the question of Western Sahara, the situation in southern Africa, the problem of the Middle East and conflicts in Asia.
