UN General Assembly
1951

17. Seventeen months ago the United Nations decided to repel communist aggression in Korea in the first collective military action ever undertaken by an international organization. Totally improvised and developed from scratch, the United Nations effort in Korea has today become a magnificent field demonstration of the potentialities of a system of collective security. Full credit must be given by all impartial men to the United States which has borne the brunt of the struggle. For our part, we in the Philippines are proud to have contributed our modest share to this historic undertaking. For what has sustained our men and the men of fifteen other nations in Korea has been the determination that aggression, shall not go unrepelled and that potential aggressors shall draw the appropriate lesson from the action of the United Nations.
