UN General Assembly
1959

65. In my previous remarks I have laid a heavy stress upon the need for a better understanding and closer co-operation among the Great Powers. It is, I think, self-evident that every step in that direction will increase the effectiveness of this Organization and will advance the cause of peace and security. It is however, far from my intention to imply that the special position of the Great Powers in any way diminishes the responsibilities of the United Nations or each Member State.
