UN General Assembly
1946

As in the case of other organs of the United Nations, it is better for the Assembly to go to great lengths to attain, or at least approach, unanimity than it is to enact resolutions over the opposition of a large dissenting group. The United Nations Charter recognizes the transcending importance to world peace of close co-operation in the economic and social field. In the Economic and Social Council, its subsidiary bodies and the specialized agencies being brought into relationship with the Council, the United Nations has already created a far more effective and comprehensive institutional structure for these purposes than the world has ever seen before.
