UN General Assembly
1960

44. As I said at the beginning of my statement, in this vast Assembly Hall of the United Nations, in which a session that has been described by the entire world Press as historic is taking place, where all the great world leaders speak, one after another, affirming their desire for peace and offering solutions of peace and peaceful coexistence, two voices have been raised solemnly to acclaim the right of the African peoples to self-determination, two voices which are usually antagonistic to one another, two voices which are said to be always conflicting but which today are in agreement on one issue, namely the emancipation of the peoples of Africa.
