UN General Assembly
1967

158. Before the revolution there was no written law of any kind to state clearly the rights and duties of citizens and their government. There were no institutions of any kind — no schools or hospitals for the public — and public service was unknown. The former Government sought every possible means to divide the people and to promote all possible feuds in order to rule them easily. Corruption in its utmost form was the dominating character of the Government. Today, the revolutionary Government, in adherence to democratic principles and loyalty to the goals of the revolution, has succeeded for the first time in establishing the rule of law.
