UN General Assembly
1959

33. We live at a time when mankind is making vast strides forward, and we are witnessing not only the swift development of industry, science, and technology, but also rapid changes in the political patterns of large areas of the world. Once backward peoples are freeing themselves from colonial dependence, and new, independent States are arising in the place of former colonies and semi-colonies. Permit me with all my heart to address the warmest greetings to the representatives of such States present in this hall. 34. At the same time it must be recognized that not all the peoples who are entitled to be represented at the United Nations have representatives here yet. The Soviet Union like all freedom-loving nations warmly wishes success to the peoples who are still in a state of colonial dependence and are fighting resolutely for their national liberation from colonial oppression.
