UN General Assembly
1967

37. We welcome the efforts male by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to render assistance to refugees. He should spare no effort not only to relieve their wretchedness but also to promote the peaceful return to their countries of origin of those who wish to return. The High Commissioner should see to it that the aid he furnishes to refugees is not diverted from its proper ends and used to provide logistic support and supplies for subversive groups. 38. Another threat to the independence and security of Africa is the type of banditry and international subversion which, if I may coin a word, I shall call "mercenaryism". The problem of mercenaries must be examined in our institutions with the proper attention due to all problems bearing on world peace. 39. Countries or organizations aiding and abetting the recruitment and training of mercenaries call for the strongest condemnation from this Assembly; but the Security Council too should consider the application of the sanctions designed for use against those who seriously endanger international peace and security.
