UN General Assembly
1954

94. Times have changed and a new Asia has risen, but this misunderstanding remains unchanged. Today we, the peoples of Asia, are disenfranchised in the Security Council and only those of us who belong to another so-called geographic unit, namely the British Commonwealth, can be elected to the Security Council. Neither Indonesia, nor Burma, nor Thailand, nor my own country have the right to be represented in this organ of the United Nations which, according to the Charter, has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of peace.
