UN General Assembly
1961

36. As regards the definitive solution, we hold to our original opinion that the person nominated should come from one of the countries outside the blocs but be less powerful, politically, than the former Secretary-General. In addition, my Government still considers that it would be desirable to flank the Secretary-General .with an advisory body of at the most five members, chosen from the different regions of the world. These proposals are based on our conviction that the authority and role of the United Nations must be transformed. The Declaration of the Belgrade Conference recommends a whole series of measures designed to strengthen this Organization, and especially to adapt its structure and aspect to the positive changes which have come about on the international scene and hence to the Organization's numerical composition, so that the bonds which unite the world may, through the United Nations, be strengthened.
