UN General Assembly
1976

14. Faced with these contradictions or paradoxes, my delegation cannot fail to say here that the world is in a state of crisis-a political, economic and social crisis, as well as a crisis of conscience. Yet we do not lose hope, that the United Nations, which has become a regulating organ of our society, will be able to master these calamities; that all the problems of Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East will be resolved; that a new international economic order will be established; and that the world will live in peace with more humanity, generosity and tolerance. It is therefore with this attitude that my delegation will consider with you all the disturbing problems which agitate the international community.
