“Each country must take measures to see that there are no foreign bases or foreign troops on its territory, that it does not give any facilities or privileges of any kind to the United States or the Soviet Union and must see to it that on its territory it does not allow any activities directed against any other country, Genuine security in Europe can be brought about only if it is not detached from the struggle to resolve disturbing problems on a world-wide scale. Europe cannot be an isle of tranquility and stability in a world fraught with turmoil and conflict. The European countries cannot be calm and safe when around them in the Mediterranean and in the Middle East and in other areas of the world the United States and the Soviet Union systematically cause tension and provoke conflicts with very dangerous consequences. 156.”

“Today more than ever before it is essential to multiply efforts to thwart and destroy the plans of aggression and subjugation of the United States and the Soviet Union, to isolate the American imperialists and the Soviet socialist-imperialists and to make it impossible for them to dominate Europe. 155. To our way of thinking, if concrete steps are to be taken in the direction of establishing an atmosphere of understanding and reciprocal confidence and sincere co-operation on a footing of equality with all European countries, it is necessary to put an end to spheres of influence in Europe and to liquidate the military aggressive blocs of NATO and the Warsaw Pact.”

“The People's Republic of Albania and the Albanian Government respect all those countries and Governments that pursue independent policies in accordance with their interests and sovereign rights and with the interests of peace and general security. We are prepared to build good relations with all countries respecting the rights of Albania on the basis of the principles of complete equality, respect for independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-interference in the internal affairs of others, good-neighborliness and mutual advantage. 154. We are firmly of the opinion that the question of genuine peace and security in Europe will inevitably be resolved when the European people themselves take the matter in hand, as they should.”

“The People's Republic of Albania has struggled, and will continue to fight, together with other peoples of Europe to bring about peace and security in that continent; and with determination we will adhere to our policy of safeguarding and strengthening our national independence and respect for the independence of other countries. We will never allow the peoples of neighboring countries or of other countries in Europe to be wronged in any way on our territory. We have stubbornly fought and will continue to do so every hostile act against our freedom and independence. We will thwart and expose courageously and without any hesitation the aggressive policies of hegemony of the United States and the Soviet Union and whatever efforts they might make to capitalize on the documents of the Helsinki Conference.”

“Every State and people has the right freely to express its own views and to oppose those of others when it disagrees with them, just as others have the right to oppose its views when they disagree with them. It would be completely wrong to remain passive and silent when some are acting to the detriment of other peoples or States, or to accept, as some would wish, that just because a State or a people is small it is pretentious for it to speak out to defend its rights and those of its friends, or to express its views in the presence of the 'major' Powers. False modesty and the opportunist way of thinking of a slave are alien to the policies of the Albanian State and the rule of the proletariat." 153.”

“Our Government has openly and frankly expressed its views on the problem of security, and from the very beginning had declared its opposition to the convening of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Indeed, we did not even participate in it, convinced as we were that that position was in accordance with the interests of the Albanian people and of the peoples of Europe at large. As the much beloved leader of the Albanian people, Enver Hoxha, has said: "The People's Republic of Albania has its own views and develops its own constructive policies openly, in broad daylight. No question is alien to us, and no one can silence us.”

“Through its own efforts but at the price of the blood shed by its youth, the Albanian people threw off the Nazi Fascist yoke and created the new independent and socialist Albania, which it has been defending against the constant threats of the imperialists and social-imperialists. Hence we have a vital interest in seeing the establishment of lasting peace and genuine security , in Europe. The Government of the People's Republic of Albania fully understands the concerns and preoccupations of the peoples of Europe over the dangers threatening them, as well as the justified desires of many European countries to eliminate those dangers.”

“What guarantees will the European peoples have that they will no longer in the future be victims of aggression, as was the Czechoslovak people in August 1968?" Today we see even more clearly what we already knew: Europe remains one of the main areas of rivalry and bargaining between the two imperialist super-Powers an arena where there are many bitter contradictions which themselves pose a potential danger of major conflagrations an arena in which the problems handed down from the Second World War remain, and where new and complicated problems are arising amidst increasing tension. 152. The Albanian people is small in number. Throughout its history it has experienced more suffering and misfortune than any other European people as a result of foreign exploitation and occupation.”

“Even now, before the ink of the signatures at the bottom of those documents has dried, a number of countries and political circles are entertaining serious doubts, openly questioning the usefulness and value of those documents; and the enthusiasm that some had about them is beginning to wane. 151. The Government of Albania has long asked the following questions: "What will become of Europe after the conclusion of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe? What will the decisions of that Conference bring to Europe?”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“Even the very few problems which were raised by certain countries but which did not fall neatly within the framework established by the two super-Powers were set aside or completely transformed as a result of the pressure brought to bear. 150. There can be no doubt that the two imperialist super-Powers will exploit the documents of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe for speculative purposes, for their maneuvers and new political plans, and that, in the guise of implementing the decisions contained in those documents, they will intensify their pressure on other countries. Those who still harbor illusions and think that the documents adopted at Helsinki nevertheless represent something concrete will be greatly disappointed.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe was not a free assembly of the countries of Europe: the United States and the Soviet Union went there and did whatever they could to gain for themselves vital decision-making powers on all essential points. It was continually seen at the meetings in Helsinki and Geneva that the European States had very few opportunities to express their concerns freely or to say openly where the dangers threatening the people of Europe were coming from or who should ensure security on the continent. The participants at those meetings constantly ran into pressure, diktat and blackmail at the hands of the two super-Powers. Undeniably, any decision about moving from one stage to another, or about reaching a compromise, was preceded by meetings of the leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The two super-Powers convened the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, not because they were anxious to bring about peace and security in Europe, but to promote their designs for hegemony, to legitimize their spheres of influence and their privileges in various countries of Europe, and to compel participating countries to recognize them as the arbiters in all European questions. Despite their alleged desire to bring about European security, what they really want is to maintain the status quo between themselves and to establish a certain balance in Europe in order to support their aggressive policies in other parts of the world. 149.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“There can be no security in Europe when, 30 years after the end of the Second World War, a number of European countries are still militarily occupied by the two super-Powers; when the European peoples are continually being threatened by the aggressive policies of those Powers; when the United States and the Soviet Union, in order to divide and dominate Europe, maintain many military bases and troops there and constantly increase their war arsenals; when they maintain and perfect the military and political structures of the aggressive blocs of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO] and the Warsaw Pact, and organize military maneuvers; 'or when they engage in large-scale political and economic pressure and blackmail, and undermine and subvert the European countries. 148.”

“The bitter past reminds the peoples of Europe that they must be ever watchful not to be misled by the two super-Powers. 147. To be sure, the peoples of Europe want peace and genuine security on their continent. But in order to achieve that noble goal it is indispensable that concrete and effective action be taken, that there be radical changes in the present situation in Europe, and that general declarations on peace and security formulations and general declarations into which the two imperialist super-Powers have injected their poison—be rejected.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The United States and the Soviet Union are now endeavoring zealously to convince us that the conclusion of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe marks the beginning of a new era: the era of peace, tranquility and stability, cooperation in all areas, and the beginning of general harmony. 146. The fact is, though, that there has been no change in Europe, however small, which might even justify such an assertion, and there is no reason to expect that such positive developments will ensue in that area simply because of a Conference such as the one at Helsinki, which began and ended as a Soviet-American plot, or because of the repeated proclamation of certain standards and principles which have long been recognized but which the imperialist Powers have never respected and will never respect.”

“Does that not mean that it truly does wish to act as it has in the past but under a different label, thus tying the hands of other countries which are anxious to defend themselves? The peoples of the world have had their fill of speeches and meetings on the subject of disarmament. Concrete results however are lacking, and there will not be any concrete results forthcoming because of the aggressive policies of the two imperialist superPowers. Confronted with the threats of the two superPowers, the peace-loving States and peoples of the world have a right and a duty to increase their power and their ability to defend themselves in order to deal with any situation and to cope with any attack or act of aggression. 145.”

“Everybody knows that in making those proposals the Soviet Union, just like the United States, has carried out the largest number of nuclear tests, and did so precisely after the conclusion of a treaty on their partial cessation. The two super-Powers, whenever they make a proposal on the testing of nuclear weapons, do so solely to gain superiority or monopoly in that area. The present Soviet proposal in no way lessens the danger of the use of the great nuclear arsenals which the two super-Powers have created for themselves. Nor does it make it impossible for them to increase those arsenals or to perfect weapons. Why then does the Soviet Union, while banning the nuclear tests, try to legalize underground tests for so-called peaceful purposes?”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“It is not only impossible but also dangerous to think that general and complete disarmament can be brought about by a world conference, as the Soviet social-imperialists would have us believe, or by carrying out other plans which the two superPowers propose out of sheer demagogy. The representatives of the Soviet Union singing their old refrain have submitted a new proposal to the Assembly this year, that of a treaty banning all nuclear tests. In the course of this session also, as happened in previous sessions, they are trying to promote sterile and vain debates and to use those debates to boast about the major contribution they are making to "limiting the arms race", to "detente", and to the beginning of "general and complete disarmament".”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“For their part, the Soviet Union and the United States are armed to the teeth, but they recommend that others disarm. On the question of disarmament, the Soviet social-imperialists wish to play the role of standard bearer. They have grown accustomed to delivering, year after year and in all international bodies, all manner of speeches and proposals on the subject of the limitation of weapons, a 10 per cent reduction in the military budget of the permanent members of the Security Council, and on general and complete disarmament and so on. 144. Of course, the peoples of the world will not fall into such traps laid for them by the two superPowers under the guise of disarmament. They cannot agree to disarm when their enemies are constantly arming themselves.”
1975-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 30 (1975)
“The two super-Powers have today become the largest manufactures and traffickers of weapons in history. They are involved in an unbridled arms race and they constantly increase their arsenals and perfect means of mass destruction, as part of their efforts to bring about war and aggression, to intimidate and frighten the peoples of the world, to force other countries to shelter under the American or Soviet umbrella and to accept Soviet-American domination in the world as something inevitable. The American imperialists and the Soviet social-imperialists have sold arms to the four corners of the world, but they do so in the interests of their own policies of aggression, in order to support and maintain reactionary regimes, in order to make those countries which receive weapons bow to their policies and to incite others to wage war.”

“The United States and the Soviet Union, in order to camouflage the dangers which their rivalry and bargaining entail, in order to expand and establish their hegemony, their militarization and constant preparations for war, are doing what they can to instill a sense of euphoria, a sense of false peace by constantly repeating their demagogic references to "detente", "co-operation and security", "general and nuclear disarmament" and so forth. In this way they are trying to propagate a feeling of demobilization among the peoples of the world, to slacken the vigilance of others, to weaken and stifle opposition to imperialism, social-imperialism and reaction. But the sovereign peoples and States of the world judge according to deeds and not words. 143.”

“experiencing boasting ever more noisily of their power and their leading role in the world. In order to conceal their frenzied "heEemony" they spare no praise for their so-called policy of "peace", "friendship" and "international co-operation". 141. The two parties the Soviet Union and the United States are trying stubbornly to gain recognition for their right to determine what is happening in the world, and they are trying to have others believe that there is no political, economic or social problem of our times which can be solved without them. And if their policies and solutions are not accepted, if one objects to their diktat, their control and hegemony, then great dangers shall threaten mankind. 142.”

“After the serious defeat which they suffered in Indo-China, the American imperialists are doing their utmost to regain control, to maintain their well-known pretensions to "grandeur" and to America's "leading role" in the world, pretending to be more "reasonable" more "peace-loving", more "humanitarian and more "tractable" in their dealings with other countries, and more "accommodating" with their allies While pretending to "review their policy they are, in fact, regrouping their forces and planning further adventures and attacks on freedom and on the independence of sovereign States and peoples. 140 The Soviet social-imperialists, also victims of megalomania and guilty of great-Power arrogance, are also taking advantage of the difficult moments which their rival, the United States, i?”

“They continue to occupy, and to grind under their iron heel, those countries, and the peoples of those countries, they consider to be allies. 138. In order to overcome the serious situation in which they find themselves, the two imperialist superPowers are making a feverish effort to modify the course of history. They have intensified their policy of aggression, expansion and hegemony and are perfecting methods of blackmail, aggression and violent intervention in the internal affairs of others. They have practiced duplicity and demagogy and are constantly plotting against peace-loving peoples, thereby creating sources of tension and of potential war throughout the world and endangering international peace and security. 139.”

“Unemployment has acquired new proportions and, in many countries, has reached the highest levels that it has ever reached since the end of the Second World War. Contradictions within their alliances and political, economic and military groups have become ever more serious. The United States is no longer able to bridge the numerous gaps in these alliances and in these groups and they are encountering increasing opposition on the part of their allies and partners. The Soviet Union and the other revisionist countries are also undermined constantly by a great number of difficulties, by contradictions both internal and external. The Soviet social-imperialists are oppressing the peoples of the Soviet Union, and are instilling in them a spirit of aggressive nationalism and "Great Russia" chauvinism.”

“In their fight they enjoy the friendship and the support of all their friends. They enjoy the support ot that great country, the People's Republic of China, a powerful socialist country which has been sincerely and disinterestedly helping the peoples of the world in their efforts to develop and progress, in their opposition to imperialism, social-imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism. 137. Under the unceasing blows of revolutionary forces and national liberation forces, of the forces of denaocracy and social progress, the imperialists, social-imperialists and all other reactionaries have sustained continuous assaults. The general crisis of capitalism has undermined the entire system. Production has gone down in many principal sectors. Inflation has increased.”

“The seventh special session, as well as a number of other international activities which were organized before this session, testify to the fact that the developing countries will not allow others to toy with their rights; nor can the imperialist Powers derive profits by undermining their interests and imposing on them unfair and unjust economic and trade relations. 136. In the future as in the past, the People's Republic of Albania, with all its strength, will support the just struggle and just claims of the developing countries, the measures that they have adopted and will adopt to gain control over their national wealth and raw materials. We welcome the continuing strengthening of solidarity and co-operation among the developing countries in their struggle to enjoy their rights.”

“The two imperialist super-Powers, which are the greatest exploiters and plunderers of the developing countries, the main parties responsible for the poverty and backwardness of those countries and for the injustices of which they are the victims, under the cover of "friendship", "aid" and "co-operation" have striven to weaken their struggle and break their will for development and progress. But, whether the two super-Powers like it or not, the developing countries have shown increasing strength and ability to resolve their development problems themselves in complete freedom and independence, in accordance with their national interests. 135.”

“The course of events always brings out more forcefully the important role of the developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America and their ever-increasing weight in international life. The peoples of those countries are standing up with even more courage in their fight against the policies of aggression and economic expansion, against plundering and imperialist exploitation, to defend their freedom, independence and sovereign rights, to obtain their economic independence and to exercise their full sovereignty over their natural wealth and raw materials.”

“Thanks to their struggle for liberation, the peoples of Mozambique, of Cape Verde, and of Sao Tome and Principe have thrown off the age-old colonialist yoke of Portugal and have set themselves up as young independent States. We welcome the admission of these young States to the United Nations and we wish them every success in their struggle to consolidate the victories which they have won, in their free, independent and democratic development, in their struggle against the neo-colonialist maneuvers and tactics on the part of the two super-Powers. We express our full solidarity with the determined struggle that the peoples of Namibia, Azania and Zimbabwe are conducting against the ferocious policies of racial discrimination and apartheid, against colonialism and neocolonialism. 134.”

“This victory shows that a people, no matter how small, if it fights to the end and is determined to receive its rights, can conquer any enemy and can even defeat an imperialist super-Power. That is concrete proof of the triumph of the war of the people over the aggressive strategy of imperialism and forces of reaction. In Viet Nam and in Cambodia it was demonstrated once again that freedom is not something that can be given as a gift, but is won; that it is not weapons that determine the fate of war but man; that people can conquer and defend their rights not by haggling, not by compromise, but by their struggle, their determined efforts, their courage and determination, and their revolutionary spirit and spirit of sacrifice. 133.”

“The heroic peoples of Viet Nam and Cambodia have conquered on the battlefield the American imperialist aggressors and their lackeys, and they inflicted on the United States a most overwhelming defeat. The American imperialists, regardless of all the means and methods for waging war and aggression that they used, in spite of the constant support received from the Soviet social imperialists, who constantly acted as traitors and tried to undermine the just struggle of the peoples of Indo-China, were not able to bring those peoples to their knees and were forced, in shame, to leave Cambodia and Viet Nam. 132. This victory of world-wide historic significance of the Vietnamese and Cambodian peoples offers valuable lessons for all peace-loving peoples.”

“128. Allow me, Mr. President, to extend to you my sincerest congratulations on your election as President of the thirtieth session of the General Assembly. 129. The events which have taken place since the twenty-ninth session testify to the fact that time works in favor of the cause of peoples and revolution, that revolutionary struggles and national liberation have been brought to a higher level. 130. In the present year, sovereign States and peoples have won important victories in the struggle against imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism, first and foremost against American imperialism and Soviet social-imperialism, in the defense of their freedom, their independence and their sovereign rights, and for their free and independent development. 131.”

“In conclusion, I should like to express my delegation's conviction that Member States which have at heart the interests of national independence and freedom and general peace and security will firmly oppose the pressures and intrigues of the two super-Powers, that they will reject their secret diplomacy carried out through this Organization and outside it, and that they will not allow them to prevent the present session of the General Assembly from looking objectively and seriously at the important problems confronting it. With that goal in mind, the delegation of the People's Republic of Albania will spare no effort, in the course of this session also, to make its modest contribution towards that end.”

“Because of its heroic struggle side by side with other peoples and countries of the anti-Fascist coalition, the Albanian people made a valuable contribution to the historic victory won over fascism. In proportion to the area of its territory, which is 28,000 square kilometres, and its population at the-time, 1 million inhabitants, Albania, in terms of losses in manpower and cultural and material property, is in the forefront of the countries which fought fascism. 147. The Albanian people, by its struggle and by the blood which was shed by thousands of its sons and daughters, won the undeniable and imprescriptible right to payment of the damages inflicted upon it by Germany.”

“The economy and all sectors of the life of the country suffered vast losses. Suffice it to recall that 100,000 homes or buildings were set fire to or reduced to ashes, 1,850 towns and villages out of the 2,500 which Albania had at that time were destroyed. The losses in livestock, large and small, which were killed or carried off amounted to 800,000 head. Agriculture, forests, mines, ports, roads, bridges and means of transport and communication were destroyed. Monetary treasure and great quantities of objects of art and archaeological treasures were pillaged. Estimates made by the competent State commissions after the war show that the monetary value of the loss suffered by our country because of German occupation amounts to approximately $2,000 million, calculated at the value of the dollar in 1938. 146.”

“The Albanian delegation affirms once again in this Assembly the views it expressed a few days ago, and it wishes to emphasize that the People's Republic of Albania does not give up its demand that Germany satisfy all the rights which Albania acquired as a country which participated in the anti-Fascist coalition. 145. The Albanian people was one of the first victims of Fascist aggression, and the occupation of our country by Germany during the Second World War brought it immense suffering and privation, damage and vast destruction. Because of this fact, 28,000 Albanians were killed — 3 per cent of the population of the country at that time - 12,600 were wounded, and 12,150 deported. Tens of thousands of other persons were used as forced labour by the German occupying forces.”

“In voting in favour of that decision the Albanian delegation explained [2119th meeting] the attitude of the Government of the People's Republic of Albania in connexion with certain aspects of the German problem which heretofore have not met with a just and final solution because of the failure to conclude a peace treaty between vanquished Germany and the victors of the anti-Fascist coalition, a treaty which should include the necessary clauses and obligations so that we can prevent a renaissance of militarism and German revanchism and in order to ensure that indemnities are paid for all of the damage experienced by those countries because of the occupation or aggression to which they were subjected by Hitlerite Germany. 144.”

Albania will continue always to act as a factor of peace and stability in the Balkans and in Europe and it will pursue, as always, and in consistent fashion, its foreign policy, which is unchanging and one of principle in the service of the cause of socialism, freedom, the independence of sovereign peoples and countries, and general peace and security throughout the world. 143.”

“We express our support and solidarity with the Chilean people, which at the present time is going through a difficult moment of its history because of the campaign of violence and terror which has been raging throughout the country. 141. We vigorously support the efforts of a great many independent developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America that are making efforts to strengthen their political and economic independence, to defend their national rights and national resources, to consolidate their sovereignty and to preserve their territorial integrity. 142. The People's Republic of Albania is a peace-loving State.”

“My delegation wishes to express the feelings of friendship and solidarity of the Albanian people towards peoples who are suffering from colonial oppression and the policy of genocide and racial discrimination; it denounces the bloody crimes of the Portuguese colonizers and the racist regimes of South Africa and Southern Rhodesia, it demands that resolutions and decisions which for many long years have been adopted by the United Nations along these lines should not be trampled underfoot but should be put into effect. It hails the just struggle of these peoples and is firmly convinced that they will triumph. 140. The Albanian people, like all progressive peoples and progressive public opinion throughout the world, condemns the coup d'etat organized in Chile by the rightist forces incited and supported by American imperialism.”

That is a source . of pleasure and encouragement to all peace-loving and freedom-loving peoples. 139. The People's Republic of Albania will always stand side by side with peoples and countries fighting for freedom, independence and national sovereignty against imperialism, both old and new, colonialism and neocolonialism.”

“The so-called collective security in Asia is directed against the freedom and independence of the sovereign peoples and countries of that continent, and against the national and revolutionary liberation movement in that part of the world. It is directed first of all against the People's Republic of China, which is the stalwart bulwark of socialism, the most powerful defender of the struggle of peoples for freedom and national independence, the country which most sincerely supports the effort of sovereign States for their independent development and progress, and which fights with determination against the policy of hegemony of the two super-Powers. 138. None the less, the imperialists and social imperialists and other reactionaries of all kinds and colours have failed and will continue to fail in their anti-Chinese activity.”
