UN General Assembly
1970

3. On this great and memorable occasion when several Heads of State and statesmen will be meeting here to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of our Organization, it is entirely natural to examine the successes and failures of the last quarter of a century. 4. I do not want to be pessimistic and to begin with failures. On the contrary I shall begin with successes and shall try to be as optimistic as possible, for my country, in spite of everything, is still attached to the noble purposes of our Organization.
