UN General Assembly
1965

96. I should like to reaffirm that one of the most important functions of the United Nations is the maintenance of international peace and security. Therefore, we believe that it is most significant for the future of the Organization that Pope Paul VI has made his "pilgrimage for peace" to voice his appeal for the elimination of war and the achievement of a lasting spirit of brotherhood in the world. The delegation of Kuwait sincerely hopes that this appeal will be heard and that all men of goodwill will make every effort to attain this noble aim of world peace — a peace based on right, justice and understanding; a peace that is prefaced by the emancipation of those still struggling for their freedom; a peace that promotes genuine international co-operation for social and economic development and eliminates the flagrant differences between the developed and under-developed countries. For it is only when such a peace prevails that we can look with hope to a world where every man and woman would enjoy a better life in freedom and dignity.
