UN General Assembly
1965

4. The delegation of Mali is happy to note that common sense and our mutual will to continue to work together towards the realization of the lofty ideals of the Charter have enabled all parties to overcome their passions, national chauvinism and considerations of pride, so that the United Nations might continue to exist in the best interests of all mankind. We are convinced that this crisis and its consequences have demonstrated clearly enough not only that the United Nations survives, but also that its authority must he strengthened so that it can be more effective. We hope that each State has learned some useful lessons and that those States whose attitude and demands precipitated the crisis are now convinced that if it is not to be destroyed, the United Nations can no longer be used as the docile tool of any policy of domination.
