UN General Assembly
1967

141. We have all subscribed to the high ideals of the Charter. In doing so we have agreed to be led by certain principles. But we have not committed ourselves to preconceived immutable methods in achieving our aims. If the aim of self-determination of all peoples, or peaceful coexistence, or the promotion of well-being of less developed peoples is to be achieved, should we not first agree to show respect for the different methods employed by different States in striving to achieve those aims? Should we not be slow in passing judgement involving the good faith of fellow States simply because we differ politically? And in our deliberations in this Assembly, would it not be wise at least to make the experiment of practising respect and tolerance in our relations with one another?
