UN General Assembly
1963

113. The Romanian delegation is in favour of strengthening our Organization, which should become an active instrument for world peace and co-operation. The efficiency and prestige of the United Nations are seriously weakened, however, by the fact that the principle of universality, upon which this Organization is built, continues today to be disregarded. As it has done previously, the Romanian delegation firmly supports the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China, a founding Member of the United Nations and a permanent member of the Security Council, and the immediate removal of the Chiang Kai-shek usurpers. The refusal to allow the People's Republic of China to take its rightful place in the United Nations greatly limits the Organization in its task of promoting co-operative and friendly relations between States and maintaining international peace and security.
