UN General Assembly
1961

107. This leads me back to the starting point. Our guidance must be the truly international concepts of freedom and justice which are laid down in the Charter. Our aim must be to fortify the Organization, to maintain its dignity and to increase its influence. We should never allow the United Nations to become a pawn in the game between power blocs. It is against the background of this philosophy that my Government will examine all the proposals for reforms in the structure and working of the Organization and in the composition of its various organs. 108. I have been talking for a long time about my country's general views on the United Nations. If there is nothing new in what I have said, I have still thought that a renewed pledge to the idea of a strong universal organization is not out of order at a time when the very existence of the Organization is being threatened.
