UN General Assembly
1948

That did not mean that the world should have no common faith. All the Members should indeed subscribe to the fundamental ideas of the United Nations Charter, in which all should have faith, but the Charter also laid down that tolerance ought to be practiced. If world peace was to be preserved, the present ideological warfare would have to give way to tolerance and every effort would have to be made to strengthen the authority of the United Nations, whose Charter had been solemnly accepted and signed by all. If any Member State, and particularly a permanent member of the Security Council, were content with a weak United Nations, that State could not be sincere in declaring its desire for world peace.
