What we envisage is not a way of life imposed upon us, but rather a world in which men can live together in dignity and justice, with freedom of thought and action, and with respect for the sovereignty of each and every country; a world in which every nation can freely develop its own system in its own particular way. We believe that these aims should inspire the efforts of this Organization and that they provide more than sufficient reason for carrying on the struggle to the point of sacrifice, if necessary. Living as we do in a period which is neither peace nor war, there must be firm determination, dedication and the will to work together, so that ultimately we shall be nations united in the common task of ensuring the welfare of all the people in the world.
