UN General Assembly
1968

50. We wish to convey, through the President, our heartfelt congratulations to Swaziland on its admission to the United Nations as a sovereign Member of this Organization. We wish the people of this new State prosperity and success in the contribution they will make in the international sphere. 51. At each session of the General Assembly, one concern is more pressing than others. At this session it seems to be the breaking of the so-called détente and the renewal of the cold war. This, however, is no surprise to us. At the beginning of the last session I said: “In many areas and on many levels the psychology of force has swept the minds of men and nations, and where once the virtues of peace were extolled today the efficacy of force is openly flaunted and even exalted. "... “... The cold war, we are told, is dead, but apparently its death has been somewhat exaggerated. To be sure, the cold war in the form of a nuclear confrontation and aggressive alliances, has greatly thawed, and this marks important progress.
