UN General Assembly
1951

173. The United Nations has entered upon its sixth year of activity. For six years this world Organization has been working under the inspiration of the ideals which led the nations to establish it in San Francisco on 24 October 1945; for six years, under the efficient administration of the Secretary-General, Mr. Trygve Lie, it has been tirelessly engaged in creating a new world order. 174. The constructive work carried out by the United Nations and its specialized agencies is evident in many fields and provides highly encouraging examples of what can be accomplished by human effort in the cause of civilization. 175. The results of technical assistance in the matter of economic development, social well-being and public administration in the various countries, and also the excellent work accomplished in the field of health and humanitarian activity, are indisputable facts which must convince the peoples of the usefulness, and indeed the necessity of the continued existence of the United Nations.
