135. This freedom we seek for our independent States is something we claim even more insistently for the peoples of Namibia, East Timor and all those that in sweat and blood accept martyrdom for the liberation of their homelands. Our freedom will have real value and genuine significance only when it is extended and amplified by that of the peoples still under colonial or racist domination. 136. In the same context, we most earnestly call for a speedy solution to the problems of Western Sahara, Mayotte and the conflict between Iran and Iraq. Upon our capacity to solve those crises by dialog, and within appropriate regional or international institutions, depend our strength and credibility in all negotiations that we conduct for our survival and our collective security. 137. Security is another panel of the triptych which has always underlain all action, peaceful or, otherwise, inspired the founding States of the United Nations at San Francisco, and today remains the primary concern of all our States. And yet many great clouds are still darkening the sky of security and peace.
