UN General Assembly
1966

4. My delegation shares the great regret, voiced by other delegations, at the failure of the Special Committee of thirty-three nations to find a satisfactory formula for our guidance in the conduct of future peace-keeping operations, I wish to pay tribute to the perseverance and sincerity, of which there is abundant evidence, with which the members of the Committee addressed themselves to their task. Nevertheless, the depressing fact remains that, after almost two years, the ingenuity and devotion of our most talented and experienced representatives have not been able to devise a means of avoiding a repetition of the constitutional and financial debacle we have already once experienced.
