UN General Assembly
1991

Understandably, there are great expectations as we look to the prospect of a new world order. The political and economic structures of many countries, and the nature of relations between countries, have evolved in ways that could not have been contemplated a few years ago. However, the prevailing sense of euphoria should not lull us into complacency. We still have a number of hurdles to cross. If we are to seize the opportunities beckoning us on the horizon, the leaders of this generation need, for their part, to have-vision and a high degree of statesmanship. But they also need the attention and the support of the international community.
