UN General Assembly

146. We extend a hand of welcome to the many new Members already admitted, or to be admitted in the future, to this Organization — and especially to those States which have recently gained their independence. It is to be hoped that we shall give them our sympathy and encouragement in their endeavours at nation-building. We also hope that the old and experienced nations will not view their mistakes or shortcomings through the magnifying lens of the telescope, and their achievements through the opposite end.
