UN General Assembly
1965

132. With the establishment of the Conference on Trade and Development it has become necessary to review the division of labour and to alter the structure and working methods of various United Nations organs in the economic and social spheres.. The expanded Economic and Social Council will have a particularly important role. The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic will endeavour to ensure that the work of the main United Nations organs and the specialized agencies in the economic and social spheres is appropriately and effectively directed towards the fulfilment of their main tasks. 133. The twenty years that the United Nations has existed have given us sufficient experience to be able realistically to evaluate its role and its potential in the modern world. We do not close our eyes to the serious mistakes that the Organization has made in the past or to the deficiencies from which it still suffers. However, we are convinced that these can and must be eliminated, so that the United Nations can accomplish the mission which it was given twenty years ago.
