UN General Assembly
1966

71. Africa still continues to dominate the proceedings of this Assembly. The real on for this is not difficult to find. Africa is the last remaining continent where the principles of the Charter are brazenly and repeatedly flouted; where the freedom and human rights of millions are trampled under foot and where the degradation of man is made a systematic objective of state policy; where economic and political exploitation is rampant and unchecked. Africa is the last ditch of residual colonialism and rampant racism. Current events testify to all of us how dangerous the situation is for world peace and harmony.
