UN General Assembly
1960

33. Speaking about the elementary principles of international law and sheer decency which cannot be absent in normal international relations, I cannot pass over the really unprecedented decision of the United States Government to place restrictions on the stay of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, Mr. Nikita Khrushchev, and a few other statesmen, in New York, the very city where the Headquarters of the United Nations is located. On behalf of the Czechoslovak delegation, I most emphatically protest against this act of the United States Government, which showed thereby not only a complete lack of goodwill in seeking ways to understanding, but grossly violated its obligations towards the United Nations.
