UN General Assembly
1964

32. It is gratifying to note that discussions on the establishment of United Nations forces on a permanent basis are at last being taken up seriously, spurred on by such moves as the Soviet proposal for the establishment of United Nations forces based on Article 43 and the provisions of stand-by forces for the United Nations by the countries I have just mentioned. I hope that United Nations forces on a permanent basis will come into being as soon as possible, and that the forces thus established will evolve into the "United Nations peace force" envisaged in the process leading to complete disarmament. To that end, all Member States, including my own, should further extend active and positive co-operation in the exploration and study of the various interdependent aspects of this problem.
