UN General Assembly
1976

212. In recent years the whole world has witnessed an intensification of acts of international violence. The number of hijacked airplanes, of hostages taken and of diplomats murdered has reached alarming proportions. My country, like many others, was a victim of some of those inhuman and cruel acts. We are of the view that the Assembly should devote itself to this problem even if only to consider certain aspects of acts of violence which, unless measures are taken without delay to put an end to them, could plunge us into new human tragedies.
