UN General Assembly
1948

All that did not mean that the delegation of Czechoslovakia agreed with the conception of Mr. Bevin that the basis of real world co-operation was to be found in regional structures.

The Czechoslovak Government, on the contrary, was of the opinion that regional activities must and should be parallel with the activities within the United Nations.
