UN General Assembly
1967

57. The recent crisis in the Middle East, as well as the prolonged operations in Cyprus, have shown the limits but also the usefulness of United Nations peace-keeping operations. In our opinion it is regrettable that this aspect of United Nations activity has become so controversial and that at this moment no agreement on the peace-keeping function of the United Nations appears possible. I should like to stress in this respect that Austria continued to support the concept of such operations carried out by the world Organization, We hope that through continued negotiations a satisfactory and generally acceptable solution to this problem will be found.
