UN General Assembly
1958

136. My country has not participated in the general debate during the past few years. We have listened with interest to all those who have had anything to offer towards the solution of any of our many world problems or had some guidance to give to a bewildered and frightened world. Our delegation has generally chosen to make its voice heard during the handling of the different problems in the committees, well knowing that a small nation like ours has little to contribute to the actual and factual disposal of the world's troubles and to the elimination of the great and imminent dangers hanging like the sword of Damocles over all mankind. Such great problems are for the biggest Powers to settle. They are often caused by the great Powers, and they alone can and must solve them. All the world, all the peoples of the world, look to the great Powers and demand that they settle their differences so that men can live and breathe peacefully and enjoy freedom from fear of annihilation.
