UN General Assembly

168. Now, when the peace of the Middle East is in jeopardy, when there is an increasing tendency to disregard or even disparage the independent character of the nations of that region, I sincerely urge that the spirit and the resolution produced by the Bandung Conference be accepted as a practical contribution to the efforts of this Organization to resolve the problems in that region of the world. At the very least, we expect that the big Powers will not obstruct the process of consolidation begun at Bandung.
