UN General Assembly
1966

Can one say that the Security Council as a whole has shown the sense of purpose and decisiveness which would lead to effective action? Have not others, interested in holding on to their ill-gotten gains, flouted at will the resolutions of the Security Council and the very principles of the Charter? Would it be possible for South Africa to treat with contempt the resolutions passed by the United Nations if some amongst us did not regard the resolutions of this world Organization and even solemn international agreements as scraps of paper?
