UN General Assembly
1971

233. During the twenty-fifth anniversary of our Organization, with its accompanying euphoria, when the flow of oratory ran unchecked, we were promised a world of peace, of freedom, of prosperity, a world would be cast in the mold of brotherhood and international co-operation. If we take a closer look, we catch ourselves suspecting the tremendous credulity which at that time appeared to affect the international community. The same problems, the same danger spots, the same aggressors, who are just as favored and unpunished as they were then, the same victims-such is the harsh reality of facts, the rude awakening of the world of today.
