68. Is it not a fact that the temporary boycott by the Soviet Union of the United Nations has strengthened and encouraged all the enemies of the universal character of this Organization and of peaceful international; co-operation among States with different social systems? 69. We must also adopt a critical attitude towards the point of view of the Soviet Union on the role of the great Powers and the mode of co-operation among them. We consider that such an attitude fails to take into account the necessity of co-operation among nations on a basis of equality, and that it overlooks the necessity, of consistent respect for democratic principles in the relations between large and small States. Peace does not depend on the great Powers coming to an agreement by any means whatsoever. Such a peace might mean war against the small nations. The example of the Soviet Union policy towards Yugoslavia has given us a practical idea of what a world based on the legalized hegemony of the strong over the weak would look like.
