UN General Assembly
1957

50. The Soviet delegation has submitted to the General Assembly a draft declaration on the principles of peaceful co-existence between States [A/3673]. The principles of peaceful co-existence are well known; they are the basis of the foreign policy of a large number of countries and have become recognized principles of international law. It is to be hoped that the General Assembly will adopt these principles, thus helping to relax tension and creating a useful tool for the solution of controversial questions and the strengthening of co-operation among States.
