UN General Assembly
1953

119. I do not want to reopen this problem in any great detail, or to anticipate the discussions in committee. But I would submit that the bringing in of new States — more especially when the particular composition and character of the States in question does not alter the balance even of blocs in the General Assembly — would be of great advantage. There again the Assembly could take a hand and leave the splitting of hairs upon the technique of it to other people. If it were possible to make a beginning — I do not say that this is a perfect end, because there are still large States that would be outside the Security Council and the General Assembly — it would still make a breach in this wall of opposition to the newcomer. The exclusiveness like that of a club, and the psychology of blackballing, would begin to disappear.
