UN General Assembly
1962

33. We must still consider the case of the Powers which resist decolonization. Our attitude to them is still as uncompromising as ever. Last year my delegation demanded the expulsion of Portugal from the United Nations. This year the twelve States of the African and Malagasy Union will unanimously and persistently demand the expulsion not only of Portugal, but of South Africa. If in the best interest of the colonized people, independence is to be prepared and organized, the colonial Power must at least accept this in principle; but Portugal: rejects the very principle of decolonization. In doing so, Portugal openly violates the principles of the United Nations Charter. A member of an organization must either accept its rules and regulations or resign. We shall demand the expulsion of South Africa for the same reasons. The United Nations is a universal organization founded on respect for peoples and races. A State which does not accept these principles has no place among us.
