UN General Assembly
1979

303. A retrospective view of the achievements of the United Nations since it was established in 1945 clearly demonstrates that this Organization has been a catalyst in solving the serious problems that have afflicted our world since the Second World War. The United Nations continues to be the only forum of peace in which nations throughout the world, large and small, have an opportunity to share their concerns, irrespective of their ideological, social or cultural differences. Although there are many problems to be solved, the United Nations has none the less made a great contribution to solving the problems resulting from the Second World War, the cold war, decolonization, the lessening of the use of force in the settlement of disputes and so forth.
