UN General Assembly
1968

173. As a Latin American country, we base our condemnation of the aggression against Czechoslovakia on our adherence to the principle of non-intervention as established within our own regional system and reaffirmed in the Charter and at several sessions of the General Assembly by the Latin American representatives collectively, and on our peoples’ repudiation of all acts that threaten the security and sovereign integrity of States. We therefore feel entitled to reject — here in our continent and in any other part of the world any intervention, and especially armed intervention, as an instrument of domination that jeopardizes the juridical equality of States and threatens to destroy the foundations of the United Nations just as the League of Nations was destroyed. 174. Neither the Charter of the United Nations, nor the principles of regional organizations, nor the Warsaw Pact, as contemporary international instruments, say anything that could entitle a Power to determine the internal affairs of another State by means of military force.
