UN General Assembly
1948

Such a policy was engendering a war psychosis and was sowing restlessness and fear among the great masses who strived for peace and peaceful creative labour. It was a policy which had nothing in common whatsoever with a policy of peace. As was well known, the United States Government, together with the Governments of the United Kingdom and France, had organized a military- political bloc of five States, the aim of which was not to prevent German aggression and render mutual assistance against such aggression. The bloc could not pursue such an aim because it was not directed against the danger of the recurrence of German aggression and it even intended that Western Germany, which since time immemorial had served as a stronghold of German militarism and only recently had served as a bulwark for Hitlerite aggression, should be included in it. It was quite clear that the forming of such alliance was in direct contradiction with the objectives of strengthening world peace and security.
