UN General Assembly
1956

43. The General Assembly’s agenda contains items concerning a whole series of political, economic and social problems which are of great importance for the maintenance of peace and the strengthening of confidence among nations. We must patiently and realistically seek opportunities for the solution of these problems in a spirit of co-operation and mutual understanding 44. The worsening of the international situation is causing alarm among millions of people and calls for vigilance on their part. In the circumstances, it is important that the present session of the General Assembly should fulfil its duty towards the nations and contribute to a lessening of international tension and a strengthening of peace and security.
