UN General Assembly
1963

108. Kuwait has, on more than one occasion, expressed its full approval of the resolution of the United Nations [1514 (XV)] recognizing the necessity of granting independence to all nations who still groan under the yoke of colonialism. I refer to the resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 14 December 1960. Kuwait avails itself of this opportunity to confirm its policy of giving its support to these nations in the struggle for their natural right to self- determination. Kuwait would also like to express from this rostrum its hope that the General Assembly will take the practical steps necessary to implement this resolution and give effective help to these nations in order to enable them to realize their legitimate aspirations. We believe that this is the only way to avoid the dangerous clashes which are now disturbing the peace and security of the world.
