UN General Assembly

194. The veto may bring the proceedings of the Security Council to a halt. It cannot silence the voice of a people determined to be free. We can only hope that respect for the law, the dictates of reason and considerations of self-interest, will prevail over false notions of vanity and national prestige and persuade India to follow a policy of co-operation and friendly coexistence with its neighbours. There can be no better way to begin a year for international co-operation than for countries to settle their disputes, in accordance with the peaceful procedures laid down in the Charter of the United Nations and in fulfilment of their international obligations. We want to live in friendship with India, we want to be friends with India, if only it can be done on honourable terms.
