UN General Assembly
1960

153. Take the General Assembly. A few years ago less than seventy nations were represented in it. Tell me how many delegations of non-socialist countries dared at that time raise objections against the foreign policy of the United States? And when a representative nevertheless dared, though timidly, to criticize some aspects of United States policy, he was humiliated and forced to apologize. Look how greatly the situation in the United Nations has changed. See how many delegates of new nations have taken their legitimate place in the United Nations. The imperialists used to look down upon the colonial peoples, they considered them second-rate people, draught animals. But today, although some may not like this fact, they are sitting in this hall side by side with the representatives of the African nations which have just won their independence.
