UN General Assembly
1965

17. At a time when there was a relative easing of tension in international affairs following the Moscow Treaty on the partial banning of nuclear tests, and other developments before and after the Treaty, the United States, in violation of obligations solemnly assumed under the Charter of the United Nations, embarked upon a war of aggression against the heroic people of Viet-Nam. It has recently expanded its military strength in that country to more than 140,000 men — there is now talk of 150,000 — without counting the detachments of the Seventh Fleet and the naval aviation attached to it. Official circles in the United States foresee a further increase in American strength, which would reach 200,000 men by the end of this year, and there is even a possibility, according to current Press commentaries that their number will rise to a million. Recently the United States has even tried to legalize and get world public opinion to accept the use of gas in Viet-Nam.
