UN General Assembly
1966

77. As a non-aligned State, the Somali Republic interprets its role as calling for positive, constructive action and not merely for negative neutralism. The President of my country has defined a non-aligned State as one which so conducts its internal and external policies that it actively promotes the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and which, in particular, is opposed to arrangements whereby States organize themselves into military blocs designed to further national aims or political ideologies by the threat or use of force. It is in the light of this definition that Somalia will approach the issues before this Assembly.
