68. What faith can we have, however, in a Power which takes part in negotiations on general and complete disarmament yet at the same time uses not only its own armed forces and military equipment but also those of its allies in order to keep a peaceful people under its yoke? There cannot be any happy means between disarmament and domination. As long as there is a desire to exploit by force the wealth of defenceless peoples, it will be impossible to tackle the problem of disarmament sincerely and fully, for these peoples would find no protection in a disarmament that still tolerated imperialist intrigues. 69. The conflict that now confronts the United Nations in the Congo reveals the direct impact of the national liberation problem on world security, and it would be idle to deny that the efforts of the imperialists to stave off the fatal day of reckoning are not only endangering the peaceful development and the security of the young States of Africa and Asia, but are also a direct threat to world peace.
