UN General Assembly
1971

50. Those are the disturbing aspects which we believe characterize our community today to which my delegation wishes to draw the attention of the Assembly by expressing its deepest misgivings and fears. 51. The situation in the Middle East appears to us most alarming, fraught with threats to international peace and, above all, most dangerously deadlocked. 52. It is not necessary today to go into the history of this drama, nor to trace the complex path this question has fallowed in the various organs of the United Nations. Suffice it to say that our Organization has at various times taken appropriate positions and outlined the wisest course for the rapid elimination of the causes of the conflict, thereby opening the way to just and humane solutions. These international initiatives were in accordance with the broadest consensus among the Members of this Organization.
