UN General Assembly

162. The western hemisphere is giving the world an example worthy of emulation. No element of discord exists between the nations comprising it, the relations between them being governed by the principles of the Organization of American States inspired by the statutes of the United Nations Charter. Recently, the Charter of San Salvador was signed which, inspired by the same principles, constitutes an instrument of harmony and spiritual union between the five sister Republics of Central America. There exists between all the countries of the hemisphere a close spirit of co-operation and an ever-present desire to make of the American continent a source of wealth capable of mitigating the suffering of the world and a factory which would work unceasingly in the service of mankind.
