UN General Assembly
1960

145. Should we, then, accept aggression; should we abide by violation; should we bow to colonialism as a political reality? We cannot accept a situation which is the culmination of injustice and aggression. We cannot accept a situation which is the fruit of aggression or a flagrant denial of inherent rights, God-given rights. This is too dangerous a stand to accept or to defend. 146. We must warn all the small nations, from this rostrum, they must be on their guard, on the lookout, lest they fall victim to political realities. We, the small nations, survive not through our might, but through our right; we exist by justice, not by convenience or expedience. Let us not waver, let us not defeat the very principle that gave rise to our being. This is a world of wonders and surprises. A small nation, any nation represented here in this Organization, could fall victim to political realities. Its peace may be endangered, its territory may be threatened, its political independence usurped.
