UN General Assembly
1960

155. At a time when the United Nations is going through a difficult period, which some have even called a United Nations "crisis”, Libya feels it more necessary than ever to proclaim its undying faith in the United Nations. The Libyan people's devotion to the international Organization which found a just and equitable solution in Libya's own case, is now strengthened by its firm conviction that this Organization is an essential instrument for the maintenance of peace and Security and for the establishment of world understanding, harmony and co-operation. 156. The alarming and dangerous developments in the international situation over the last few months have provided irrefutable proof of the necessity of keeping the United Nations alive in the tortured world of today. One can easily imagine what would have happened after the break between the two opposing blocs, if there had been no final appeal to the conscience of the world in the Assembly.
