UN General Assembly
1946

I dare not criticize the combined wisdom of the nations of the world, but I am of the conviction that this great body must determine, once and for all, how it will proceed in the future against wrong. It is my opinion that you, the great nations, should be the champions of the smaller ones; you should lend them sympathetic assistance and support; you should not interfere in their internal affairs unless you find them wholly incompatible with right; even then, your effort should be to help them; and I am certain that there is not a single small nation that would not immediately accept fair friendly advice and every form of sympathetic assistance.
