I use the word "disability" rather than "inability" of set purpose to indicate my continued faith in the ability of the Organization to serve the cause of peace, in the present crisis, as in earlier ones, were it not disabled by the failure of those on whom primary responsibility rests to respect the requirements of the Charter. What appeared in the guise of a financial crisis, capable of solution through the exercise of goodwill and wisdom, seems to have developed today into a crisis of much greater magnitude reflecting the major political and economic contradictions of our time.
