84. When such reprehensible acts multiply it is logical to hope that countries in harmony with the aspirations of peoples that have a common heritage of freedom, morality and justice should call upon international bodies at the regional and national levels to take action to combat these evils. In the face of acts of such gravity, as stated in the Charter of the United Nations, the means of legitimate self-defence are available, both individual and collective, against the transgressors of peace, morality, justice and national culture. In these circumstances, the competent bodies of the United Nations must also take action which is appropriate so that bloodshed and barbaric violations of human rights against the Nicaraguan people will not remain unpunished or will not be repeated and so that those responsible will be called to account for their criminal conduct.
