“Everyone knows that the Viet-Namese army has not landed in the United States and is not bombing New York or Pittsburgh, but that, on the contrary, all branches of the United States armed forces have Invaded South Viet-Nam, 10,000 miles away, and have unleashed, without the slightest provocation, a war against the Democratic Republic of Viet-Nam. It is the armed forces of the United States which are waging a war of extermination and committing acts of genocide in Viet-Nam, even resorting to such barbaric means as napalm and poison gas; it is they who are massacring school-children, hospital patients and nursing mothers. These are crimes against mankind which outrage the conscience of the world, and they cannot be concealed by the pacifist effusions of professional murderers. 38.”

“The United States Government, which has ruthlessly trampled underfoot the 1954 Geneva Agreements on Indo-China, which has intervened militarily In South Viet-Nam and has attacked North Viet-Nam, and which every day carries out bombing raids and savage massacres against the Viet-Namese people, is trying to create the impression that, for its part, it desires peace in Viet-Nam and that it is the Viet-Namese people, who are resisting aggression and fighting for their national independence, who want war.”

“What is at stake in Viet-Nam is the future of peace and freedom, the right of people to freedom and self-determination against the force and the ruthless intervention of the United States of America. The United States imperialist aggression in Viet-Nam is a challenge to all freedom-loving countries and peoples. The Viet-Namese people in the South as well as the North have valiantly taken up this challenge. With no thought for the sacrifices involved, they are waging a heroic struggle of world significance and are inflicting defeat after defeat upon the greatest imperialist Power, proving once again that there is no force in the world which can subjugate a people fighting for the just cause of national freedom and independence. 37.”

“The peoples of the world want to be freed and to be masters in their own home; they want to be free to establish the government of their choice, to advance as sovereign people in accordance with their traditions and their aspirations, and to make their contribution to the cause of co-operation and progress under conditions of equality and mutual respect; they want to have friends and not masters. That is why they are joining forces and are supporting each other against colonialism and neo-colonialism, against the policy of enslavement and aggression represented by the imperialism of the United States and its partners. 36. The Government of the People's Republic of Albania believes that the most disturbing problem at the present juncture is the war in Viet-Nam.”
1965-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 20 (1965)
“The old colonialism is in its death-throes, but United States neo-colonialism, which is more subtle and more dangerous, is taking its place. 35. This arrogant war-mongering policy has led to a vigorous reaction among the peoples of the world who, today more than ever before, are aware of their rights and their strength and who see in United States imperialism the worst champion of reaction, the enemy of freedom and peace and their own most vicious enemy. The peoples of the world ardently love peace, but they do not want the peace of slaves or the peace of the dead. There cannot, moreover, be any peace without freedom.”
1965-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 20 (1965)
“Nevertheless, it attempts to dictate to other countries, in the name of freedom, what kind of Governments they ought to have and to impose on them its own policy and its hegemony. It fiercely attacks the peoples who are struggling for freedom in the Congo and elsewhere. It intervenes against the Dominican people, who are fighting for freedom and democratic rights, in order to oppress them with large military forces. It occupies South Viet-Nam and bombs the Democratic Republic of Viet-Nam day and night. It has established a vast network of military bases all around the world. It has given gunboat diplomacy and international brigandage the status of an institution and has made violence its guiding doctrine.”
1965-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 20 (1965)
“Against this new world and the States and peoples who are fighting for these principles, we see ranged the masters of the old world, the imperialists and colonialists who are vainly trying to turn aside the onward rush of history. 34. The standard-bearer of this crusade against the people has been the United States of America, in whose eyes every independent State and every people aspiring to freedom is an enemy, and every progressive and democratic movement is subversive. The United States Government, which carries on noisy propaganda for freedom and democracy, has in reality suppressed freedom in its own country by denying its negro citizens their rights, by oppressing them and by massacring them in Los Angeles and elsewhere.”
1965-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 20 (1965)
“The great concepts of freedom, democracy and social progress have, in the hands of the peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America, become the instruments for throwing off the imperialist and colonialist yoke and blazing the trail of national and social emancipation. A new world has been born, a world free of oppression and exploitation. Colonial empires are crumbling. Independence, national sovereignty and equality among all States, whether large or small, are the great principles underlying the international relations that have been established by peoples and countries which abominate the oppression and exploitation of imperialism and colonialism.”
1965-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 20 (1965)
“I wish, however, to stress that despite the present grave situation, the Government of the People's Republic of Albania believes that it is upon the will and determination of the peace-loving countries and peoples of the world that the responsibility rests for barring the way to this dangerous course of events. The peace-loving countries and peoples are more numerous and more powerful than the monopolist groups and the war-mongering circles which dream of spreading their régime of oppression and pillage throughout the world. 33. Mankind has entered an era of profound and revolutionary changes.”
1965-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 20 (1965)
“Despite the artificial efforts made by certain speakers at the beginning of this session to becloud the realities of the tragic events taking place in our planet, the international situation is too grave not to arouse concern among the peace-loving Member States and to make them aware of their responsibilities. 32. This year, the General Assembly is meeting at a critical time, a time when, in various parts of the world, the flames of aggressive war redden the sky and many peoples are bearing great sacrifices for the cause of freedom and national dignity against the retrogressive forces of imperialism and reaction.”
1965-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 20 (1965)
“30. The delegation of the People's Republic of Albania expresses the hope that, in view of the total failure of those who paralysed the last session on the pretext of the so-called financial crisis, the present session of the General Assembly will function normally. The Assembly must obviously be on its guard lest similar attempts should be made during the present session, and it must not be content merely to abide by the rules of procedure. What is essential, and what all people rightly expect, is that the United Nations should take the right course, that it should cease to be an instrument for the foreign policy of a great Power, and that the General Assembly should act effectively in the interests of peace, the freedom of all people and international co-operation. 31.”
1965-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 20 (1965)
“The delegation of the People's Republic of Albania hopes that the General Assembly will soon find a way out of its present deadlock and that, through the decisions it is called upon to take on the important problems awaiting its consideration, it will strengthen the United Nations and do useful work for international peace and security, the maintenance of which, according to the Charter, is the primary purpose of the United Nations.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“On this basis, our Party and oar Government are always ready, as in the past, to strengthen their ties of friendship and co-operation with all other countries, including neighbouring countries." 110. Adhering to this just policy, which has preserved its independence and inviolability, which has won it friends and sympathy among the peoples of the whole world, the People's Republic of Albania is making its contribution to the struggle against imperialism and colonialism, to the struggle to maintain peace and to free peoples from all oppression, exploitation and discrimination. 111.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Comrade Enver Hoxha, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Labour Party of Albania, said, among other things: "In the future, too, our Party and our Government will steadfastly follow a policy of peace, a policy of friendship and close fraternal co-operation on a Marxist-Leninist basis and a policy of the principles of proletarian internationalism with the peoples of the socialist countries, a policy of friendship and solidarity with the peoples who are fighting for their freedom and independence, in particular with our brother Arab peoples, with the peoples of black Africa, Asia and Latin America, and with all anti-imperialist forces. Our people defend their sovereignty, freedom and independence with resolution and vigour. They show the greatest respect for the sovereignty, freedom and independence of other peoples.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The Albanian people dearly love peace, but above everything they love freedom and their popular system of government and that is why they are devoting themselves with all their energy to building a happy life, while at the same time remaining vigilant. 108. The People's Republic of Albania is making a sincere effort to ensure that among the countries in the region of the Balkans and the Adriatic, to which it belongs, there are good neighbourly relations of benefit to both sides, that imperialist aggression and the threat of a new world war are everywhere frustrated and that international peace and security are safeguarded and consolidated. 109. Speaking on 28 November 1964, on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the liberation.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Our position is that relations between States, regardless of the fact that some are large and others small, must be based on the principles of equality, non-interference, respect for each other's national sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence between countries with different social systems. The fact that a country is small is neither a sin nor something to be ashamed of, just as the fact of being large does not give large countries the right to be arrogant towards small countries and trample on their rights. 107. We are in favour of normal relations with our neighbours and other countries, but Albania has not accepted and never will accept inequality, the "Diktat" or imposed conditions in its relations with other countries.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The experience of the struggle for national liberation and the peaceful construction of Albania during the last twenty years has shown that even a small people, led by a staunch revolutionary party, can gain freedom and national independence against a powerful and superior enemy if it is determined to win, whatever the sacrifice; that once free it can defend and consolidate its conquests and build a happy and prosperous life, despite the attacks of the imperialists and their lackeys, if it is united and conscious of the cause it is defending, if it keeps power and economic resources in its own hands and if it relies in the first place on its own forces; that even a small country can become a factor for peace and progress if adheres firmly to a just policy based on solid principles. 106.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“In our country a new way of life has been born and is thriving under the sun of socialism. 104. Albania is no longer, as it once was, a territory of concessions to be bartered about by the imperialist Powers, but an independent and sovereign socialist country, an active element and force for peace and progress in international affairs. The new Albania has entered upon the third decade of its existence and, under the tried direction of the Labour Party of Albania and its Government, it is advancing along the path of socialism towards peace and the certain prospect of a radiant future. Its example shows that the path of socialism is open even to small and backward countries such as Albania once was and that it is the path which leads to true independence and the building of a happy and prosperous life. 105.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“I do not want to take up too much of the General Assembly's time but I should like to mention that at present industrial production in my country is about thirty-three times greater than it was in 1938, agricultural output has more than doubled and one out of every four inhabitants is going to school. Every year, at Tirana University, more than four times as many students with higher qualifications graduate as were produced in fifteen years under the old anti-people regime. Throughout Albania a wide network of health institutions has been established to provide free services for the whole population and the standard of living is incomparably higher than before the liberation. The national income is 5.3 times greater than in 1938. The expectation of life rose from thirty-eight years in 1938 to sixty-five years in 1960.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“That is how they received and defeated the fascist and nazi invaders and how they have for twenty years victoriously resisted the imperialists and their lackeys, their ceaseless provocation, their blackmail and their blockades. That is how they have escaped from the backwardness which was their legacy from the past and have achieved tremendous results in all fields, while at the same time successfully facing attacks from outside on the territorial integrity and national independence of their country. 103. From being a backward agricultural country, Albania has now become an industrial agricultural country and is making continual progress. Poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, disease, those chronic ills of all under-developed countries, have been eliminated in Albania once and for all.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“In the history of our nation, the date 29 November 1944 marks the dividing line between two worlds, the world in which our nation was always trampled underfoot by the "powerful" and had no rights, and that in which it has raised itself to the position of all-powerful master of its own destiny. 102. At the time of the liberation, Albania, after centuries of slavery and plunder was a backward country, covered with innumerable ruins and scars left by the fascist and nazi aggressors. The course followed by our people during these last twenty years has been fraught with obstacles and difficulties. The Albanian people have always faced enemies, difficulties and obstacles with their heads held high.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The threat of a new world war remains, but in the meantime profoundly revolutionary events have occurred which have swung the balance of forces in favour of the forces of pef.ee and have aroused the courage and confidence of the peoples in their struggle for peace, national independence and social advancement. 100. On 29 November 1964 the Albanian people, who were among the first victims of nazi-fascist aggression and who suffered extremely heavy losses in life and property during their struggle for national liberation, celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the people's liberation and revolution. 101.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The delegation of the People's Republic of Albania hopes that at its present session the General Assembly will put an end to the distressing situation in which China’s seat in the United Nations is occupied by a person who represents no one and that by an overwhelming majority it will expel the followers of Chiang Kai-shek and invite the true representatives of the great Chinese people, the representatives of the Government of the People's Republic of China, to take their lawful place in the United Nations and in all its organs, 99. Nineteen years have passed since the end of the Second World War, which caused so much suffering to the peoples of the world.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Today, more than ever, it is obvious that without the participation of China, whose positive role as a great world Power is growing continually in the international arena, the United Nations cannot be effective and international problems cannot be solved. 97. The representatives of several countries have persistently asked from this rostrum that the unprincipled obstructionism of the United States in the matter of the restoration of the lawful rights of China in the United Nations should be brought to an end and that our Organization should be allowed to profit from the contribution and undeniable experience of the People’s Republic of China in the solution of the great problems of peace and in the progress of human society. 98.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Its great achievements in socialist construction of the country, the tangible results of its just policy of good neighbourliness, the support it gives to peoples struggling for their national liberation, its international relations that are constantly expanding, its leading role in the formulation and application of the five principles of peaceful coexistence, its contribution to the maintenance of world peace, its efforts to bring about the peaceful settlement of international problems and differences and the restraint it has shown with regard to the ceaseless provocations and aggressive actions of the United States are the best evidence of its peaceful policy.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“We wish to express our hope that in the end the Government of India will make a positive response to the goodwill of which the Government of the People's Republic of China has so often given proof and that together they will arrive at a negotiated settlement of their border problem, in the interests of those two great Asian countries themselves and of world peace. 95. The People's Republic of Albania maintains relations of close friendship with the People's Republic of China. We know very well and intimately the new China and its marvellous people, who are advancing along the path of socialism, adding splendid new pages to their glorious history. 36. The peaceful policy of China is well known to many Members of the United Nations, whether or not they have relations with that country. It is known to all peoples.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“It is common knowledge that before and after the events of autumn 1962 the Chinese Government made untiring efforts to settle the border problem with India by peaceful means, ns it had done with its other neighbours, such as Burma, Nepal, Mongolia, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and that it was the Indian Government which refused; it is the Indian Government, too, and not the Chinese Government, which refuses to take the recommendations of the six- nation Colombo Conference as a basis for negotiation. 94. We have felt it our duty to correct a distortion of the truth, without going into the details, which are not unfamiliar to the General Assembly.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“It is well established that in October 1962 it was not China, as the representative of India claimed, but India which "committed a massive and premeditated aggression" against China, that it is India which is still — this is public knowledge — making active preparation, with the aid of certain great Powers, for war against the People's Republic of China, it is India which continues to occupy part of Chinese territory and which is violating the national sovereignty of China with provocative intent. 93.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“It is regrettable that the representative of India should have seen fit in this Assembly, in the absence of the parties concerned, to hurl unjust and groundless accusations against the People's Republic of China, whose peaceful policy has been acknowledged here in the last few days by several speakers, including the representatives of neighbouring countries such as Nepal, Cambodia and Indonesia. 92.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“In announcing the nuclear explosion of 16 October 1964, the Chinese Government, faithful to its policy of peace, solemnly declared that at no time and in no circumstances would China be the first to use nuclear weapons. 90. Those who are against the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations are so short of arguments that at this session they are repeating the old anti-Chinese slanders about Tibet and the border dispute with India, which no longer deceive anybody. 91.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Those who for fifteen years have tried in every possible way to keep China out of the United Nations and to isolate it have not done it any harm or hampered it in its march forward as a great socialist Power and in the steady expansion of its international relations. They 'have merely done serious harm to the United Nations and have found themselves isolated in their turn. The hopes of those who expected that natural calamities, blockades and aggressive imperialist acts would subjugate the great Chinese people were soon dashed. Not only has China not been brought to its knees but through self-denial it has surmounted all obstacles. It is having growing success in all fields and among its achievements the first nuclear explosion is evidence of the level of its economic, scientific and technical development.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The attempts by the United States to pass off the island of Taiwan, which they have occupied by force, as China and to propagate the absurd theory of the "two Chinas" or of "one China and one Taiwan" so as to sever the island of Taiwan from China and perpetuate their occupation of the island, will never be successful. China is one and indivisible; it is the People's Republic of China; Taiwan is an integral part of China and its union with the mother country is a domestic affair of China. Only the Government of the People's Republic of China is competent to represent China and to assume and discharge obligations on China's behalf. 89.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Today there is no gainsaying that the struggle for the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China concerns all Member States which are anxious to make the United Nations a true instrument for peace and international cooperation, in accordance with the Charter, and which are seriously interested in settling the great problems of our time. 88. Nobody can claim that the United Nations is universal without China, or that China is represented in the Organization because its seat has been usurped by the Chiang Kai-shek clique.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Disarmament can only be achieved if a united front is established among all peace-loving States and peoples in order to expose and isolate the foes of disarmament and force them to accept it. 87. The Albanian delegation fully agrees with the other delegations which have pointed out that one of the basic causes of the weakness of the United Nations is the absence of the People's Republic of China, a country of 700 million inhabitants, a founder Member of the Organization and a permanent member of the Security Council.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The emergence of the People's Republic of China as a nuclear Power has dealt a serious blow to the policy of monopoly and nuclear blackmail pursued by United States imperialism. We regard this development as a positive factor in the defence of the peoples and of peace, and we sincerely support the proposal by the Government of the People’s Republic of China that a conference of Heads of State of the entire world should be convened to discuss the question of banning and finally eliminating nuclear weapons. 86. The Government of the People's Republic of Albania considers that in the disarmament problem the time has come to move from closed and erratic negotiations to practical measures.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The countless military bases of the United States on foreign soil and its warships equipped with nuclear weapons and operating on the seas and oceans constitute a permanent danger to international peace and security. We consider the liquidation of military bases abroad, including the abrogation of unfair treaties imposed on certain countries in order to transform their territories into military bases, to be a condition of overriding importance and immediate urgency for world peace and security. Consequently, the Albanian Government whole-heartedly supports the Governments which rightly demand the liquidation of United States military bases on their national territory and the abrogation of the unjust treaties relating to them. 85.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The rulers of the United States boast that in the past four years it has greatly increased its investment in military preparations, that it is the strongest country in history and that by 1970 it will have two and a half times as many nuclear warheads as at present. 82. It is understandable that a Government which proclaims such a programme should not be in favour of disarmament. 83. The Government of the People's Republic of Albania reaffirms its unswerving opposition to the United States plan to establish what is called the multilateral nuclear force, which would provide West Germany with nuclear weapons and which constitutes a very serious threat to the security of Europe and to peace in general. 84.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Current events in various parts of the globe are proving once again that imperialism pays lip service to pacifism in order to hoodwink the peoples of the world and to conceal its aggressive acts. 81. Similarly, the so-called agreement on the limitation of the production of fissionable material is a hoax. Since the United States has an excess production of such material, it is interested in slowing down production. The agreement in question in no way affects existing stocks or the manufacture of nuclear weapons; it does not ban their use nor does it in any way reduce the danger of a nuclear war.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The facts have shown — and this point has been stressed in many statements from this rostrum during the current session — that the treaty has not slowed down the arms race at all but that on the contrary it has given the United States of America legal sanction to continue the underground tests which it requires in order to develop the production of new nuclear missiles to the full and to continue the policy of atomic blackmail. It is noteworthy that on 5 August 1964, the very day on which the United States Government made a peaceful statement to mark the first anniversary of the signing of the Moscow Treaty, that same Government launched an unprovoked attack on the Democratic Republic of Viet-Nam in the Gulf of Tonkin.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“We cannot ignore the fact that, while disappointing negotiations are taking place in Geneva, the Western Powers, and first and foremost the United States of America, are intensifying the arms race and taking further steps along the path to war. 80. The illusions that were so loudly propagated last year with regard to the Moscow Treaty have not lasted long. At the last session of the General Assembly the Albanian delegation denounced the fraudulent and dangerous nature of the treaty, which was heralded as a great success on the road to disarmament.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“As we maintained at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development we consider that international trade, too, should develop on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, and should further the progress of the recently liberated countries and not the neo-colonialist interests and designs of the former metropolitan countries and industrialized countries. 79. The Government of the People's Republic of Albania has never slackened its efforts towards the achievement of general and complete disarmament, that just demand of peace-loving peoples and countries. We must draw attention to the fact that the negotiations of the Eighteen-Nation Committee on Disarmament at Geneva have so far led to no results.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“We consider that the recently liberated countries need foreign economic aid, too, but such aid should be fair and fraternal and should be used for the consolidation of the national independence of the recipient countries, for the cause of the liberation of peoples and their progress, and for the struggle against imperialism and colonialism. The small developing countries of Africa and other continents rightly reject aid to which conditions are attached or which is given as alms or used to rob them of their natural resources, to exert pressure upon them or to plan intrigues against them.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The Government of the People's Republic of Albania considers that every nation is entitled to take the appropriate steps to protect and consolidate its political and economic sovereignty. The big oil, copper, tin, rubber and coffee monopolies are bastions of colonialism and neo-colonialism. The efforts of the independent States of Africa, Asia and Latin America to take over and work their natural resources for their own benefit are not only legitimate but essential to the development of their national economies. 78. The experience of several countries, including Albania, shows that the national economy can be consolidated and can flourish by developing its productive capacity and relying on its own strength.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“The People's Republic of Albania has supported and will always support the struggle of the oppressed peoples and nations. This struggle has now entered the phase of complete victory and the efforts of the Powers which have a stake in maintaining the colonial system either in its old form or in the form of neocolonialism are doomed to failure. 76. The delegation of the People's Republic of Albania considers that unless we want the 1960 Declaration on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples to remain a mere wish, the General Assembly should take effective steps to make a real contribution to the struggle of the peoples for the total liquidation of the colonial system. 77.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Racism is another abhorrent form of oppression of coloured people by Whites. In South Arica the fascist policies of apartheid are applied with increasing severity, while in the land of Abraham Lincoln the Blacks are subjected to humiliating segregation and are the victims of persecution and lynching. We feel that where South Africa is concerned the General Assembly should not be content with recommendations which are not heeded by the allies and partners of the South African racists, but should declare apartheid to be incompatible with membership of the United Nations, with the attendant consequences. 74. As it has officially informed the United Nations, the Albanian Government has had no relations with South Africa and will maintain that position until the South African Government abandons its apartheid policies. 75.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Meanwhile, however, tens of millions of human beings are still suffering under the colonial yoke in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and we cannot agree with those who claim that colonialism is about to die a natural death and that, in the interests of peaceful coexistence, the oppressed peoples should endure the colonial yoke and wait until they are offered freedom by the colonialists. Events in South Viet-Nam, the Congo, North Borneo, Southern Arabia, the Portuguese colonies in Africa, Southern Rhodesia, British Guiana and South Africa prove that the colonialists and neocolonialist Powers not only are unwilling to implement the United Nations Declaration on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples but have formed a coalition, a "holy alliance" against the peoples fighting for their freedom. 73.”
1964-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 19 (1964)
“Any delay in this matter and any bargaining with the Bonn Government at the expense of the German people is a disservice to those people and to the cause of peace; it encourages the expansionist designs harboured by the vindictive militarists in power in West Germany against the German Democratic Republic and other neighbouring countries; and it precludes a just solution of the German problem itself. 71. We reaffirm our support for the simultaneous admission of the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany to the United Nations. 72. The resounding victories of the peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America over colonialism are of great historical significance. The revolutionary struggle of the oppressed independent peoples is moving rapidly towards certain and final victory.”

“In expressing the deep sympathy of the Albanian people for the Congolese people’s struggle for liberation, the Albanian delegation associates itself with the delegations of the countries which are asking that foreign intervention in the Congo should cease forthwith and that the Congolese people should be left to solve their own problems in freedom. 70. The German problem is a crucial problem for European and world security. The Albanian Government considers that the interests of peace and security require the early conclusion of a peace treaty with Germany, with the two existing German sovereign States, or even with the German Democratic Republic alone, and that the question of West Berlin should be settled on that basis.”

“Recently at Stanleyville the Congolese patriots were machine-gunned by the same aggressors in the name of the humanitarian feelings of the white race. The aim has always been the same: to crush and eliminate the national liberation movement and to retain the rich uranium, copper and diamond deposits of the Congo in the Western monopolies. 68. The attack on Stanleyville was a gross violation of international law and of the obligations incumbent on all States Members of the United Nations. It has filled all nations with indignation. It constitutes an attack directed against all African peoples and a serious threat to international security. 69.”

“Similarly, the withdrawal of the United States armed forces from South Korea continues to be the essential condition for the freedom, independence and self-determination of the South Korean people and for the peaceful unification of Korea. 66. In the heart of Africa, the heroic people of Patrice Lumumba’s Congo are still being persecuted and murdered although their only crime is that they want to be free and independent. 67. For nearly eighty years, the soil of the Congo has been drenched in the blood of the millions of its children who have been massacred by the colonialists in the name of Western civilization. During the last four years, Patrice Lumumba and his compatriots have been murdered by the imperialists under cover of the United Nations flag.”
