UN General Assembly
1971

106. These are objectives which directly flow from the Charter of the United Nations, Like many other political objectives, most of which involve the fulfillment of justice in international relations, what they require is not a reiteration of former resolutions; what they require is political will on the part of all Member States, especially the great Powers. This will has been so far lacking. But if it is summoned and replenished by a detente between the great Powers, there is little doubt that a brighter horizon of peace will open before us. Then alone will the dream of human solidarity come nearer realization. Then alone will the United Nations reflect the oneness of the world. Without the radical reorientation of political attitudes that this requires, the world will remain as it is-a world full of grievances born of inequalities and injustices, a world in which the majority of the human race is deprived of its inheritance.
