7. Yet we are far from having achieved the purposes of the Charter to the extent and depth that we should have done, Heavy storm clouds continue to threaten world peace. In a number of places in both hemispheres men continue to shed their blood in defence of freedom and their native land. Mankind has not yet been able to achieve the blessings of peace and the man of the space-age, of this century of astounding and unbelievable scientific and technical progress, has not succeeded in raising his thoughts to the idea of a world in which respect for the rights of others and faith and confidence in the principles on which our Organization is based would be the motives determining human endeavour. 8. Alas! It is still often necessary for us to take up arms in defence of freedom and human dignity.
