UN General Assembly
1960

5. We have gathered here from all parts of the world, all seeking one paramount objective: peace. We had hoped that the great nations of the world, which have conquered space, would teach us here how to conquer our passions and our vanities so that we may live in peace without fear. Though but a few days have passed since we came full of hope, we already witness disillusionment. We had thought that it was a manifestation of the new strength of the United Nations that great nations, which among themselves commanded the strength to destroy, had come here to ensure peace. But to our dismay we find that this great house of peace, to which are committed the aspirations of all nations, has itself become a target of attack. This can only bring disappointment to all of us who look to the United Nations as the instrument which man has forged to control his ambitions and his anger.
