UN General Assembly
1951

155. This statement does not mean that my country is blind to reality or that it refuses to recognize flaws and to admit mistakes. On the contrary, it is aware that this sixth anniversary of the United Nations which we have just celebrated, has been viewed by many with mixed feeling of disappointment and hope; disappointment because it is felt that much less has been done than was expected, and hope because, all things considered, the United Nations clearly affords the only possible means of avoiding war and disaster. 156. In view of past experience, and also considering the future of the grave international problems looming on the horizon, my country believes that, the United Nations being a social and political means for avoiding war and ensuring peace, it is essential that its various organs should be strengthened and that its work should be intensified in the economic and social sphere.
