UN General Assembly
1946

It is our hope that the holding of such a conference will be approved by the General Assembly and that the appropriate agreements may soon be drawn up — possibly in collaboration with the Human Rights Commission of the Economic and Social Council — with a view to the elimination of the barriers of censorship which encourage malicious propaganda and breed distrust. Distrust is the one thing that we can least afford to cultivate at this stage of our work. I must express our extreme gratification with the atmosphere of tolerance and good will which has so far pervaded the deliberations of this Assembly. We have agreed, thanks to the gracious forbearance of the Soviet delegation, to place upon the agenda the various proposals to modify the Charter provision on the veto privilege of the big Powers in the Security Council.
