UN General Assembly
1960

44. The Soviet hurricane we are experiencing these days, and to which I referred earlier, is like those which are now baptized with proper names and it might well be given one. It is trying to sweep away the United Nations, under the pretext of eliminating its Secretary-General, Until this imperialist storm dies down, as I hope it will, in a return to Christianity, perhaps already foreshadowed, the United Nations must inevitably be an organ standing for the respect and protection of law. The emancipated peoples owe so much to the Secretary-General that he must of necessity be the target for any attack by those who at present stand for violence. As the Assembly has shown several times by its warm applause, it is our duty to support and sustain our Secretary-General in this struggle, in which there can be no compromise solution, and not to go into more or less technical questions of organization, which are only a cover for very definite and dangerous purposes.
