UN General Assembly
1960

184. The purpose of the United Nations should be to solve problems. To use it as a mere debating platform or as a propaganda outlet, or as an extension of domestic politics is to pervert the high ideals which should imbue this body. 185. Colonial turbulence, the rapid development of the still technically under-developed areas, and the question of disarmament, are still suitable and urgent matters for our consideration and deliberation. However, it has become clear that these vital matters cannot satisfactorily be dealt with by the present Organization of the United Nations. The history of this body demonstrates sadly and clearly the truth of what I say. 186. It is certainly not surprising that tills should be so. The fact is that our Organization reflects the world of 1945, not the world of today. This is so within all its bodies, except this single august Assembly and in all its agencies.
