UN General Assembly
1976

27. If the non-aligned nations have acclaimed the victories of the peoples of Viet Nam, Laos and Kampuchea in their valiant struggles against the forces of reaction and intervention, it is because their success has been a vindication of the basic principles for which the non-aligned movement has fought for over two decades. The call of the non-aligned for assistance to those countries in their task of reconstructing their war-torn economies is, on the other hand, a plea for justice which it should not be difficult for this Assembly to understand. 28. In the case of Korea, that country remains one of the very few which have continued to pay the price of territorial and national fragmentation for a world war which ended three decades ago. 29. The aim of the non-aligned in regard to Korea is to create the necessary conditions for converting the present armistice into a permanent peace agreement, in order to accelerate the self-reliant and peaceful reunification of the country -and the withdrawal of foreign troops.
