UN General Assembly
1963

35. In the course of previous sessions the Libyan delegation has often expressed the hope that the United Nations will continue its laudable search for peaceful solutions to the problems confronting those countries or territories which have not yet achieved independence. While realizing that the results have thus far been very encouraging, the Libyan delegation appeals to the United Nations to spare no effort in tirelessly pursuing the aims of this historic Declaration in conformity with the desire of all people of self-determination. It would also like to congratulate wholeheartedly the United Nations organs which have been made responsible in various ways for ensuring the application of this Declaration. I make special mention of the Committee of Seventeen whose brilliant achievements deserve our deepest gratitude. We are not unaware of the enormous difficulties and serious obstacles which the Committee must face in the fulfilment of its mission. We convey to it our complete sympathy and appreciation and wish it the fullest possible success.
