UN General Assembly
1959

15. Referring once more to the report of the Secretary-General, I should like to support and to underline his contention that no international policy for the future can be envisaged which does not recognize the principle of organized international co-operation on a basis of universality and, further, is not willing to give this principle adequate implementation in practice. 16. Within this context, the proper utilization of the United Nations as an added instrument for peace must mean the perfection of its integration With the other means of reconciliation and mediation at our disposal. A procedure of co-operative or complementary efforts on the part of the United Nations and the individual Member States is, indeed, the basic framework for the operation of the Organization and its specialized agencies. It is the touchstone for the settlement of problems in accordance with our Charter goals and, in the past year, we have seen it work successfully in the case of two aggravated issues.
