  1. “Not mere words, but numerous indisputable facts bear out the assertion that the anti-Cuban campaign in the United States is not an isolated phenomenon but rather a reflection of the dangerous foreign policy of the United States consisting in the preparation of preventive wars against countries whose social system does not please United States ruling circles. It is permissible to as to who gave such people the right to prepare aggressive action against countries which refuse to bow down before the United States. Who gave them the right to encroach on the sovereignty of nations which spurn the American way of life? Nobody gave them any such right at all. 68.”

  2. “It is clear from press reports that, in addition to the armed forces stationed at the Guantánamo military base, powerful United States naval forces are assembled near the coast of Cuba and are ready at any moment to take part in military action against Cuba. A list has been published of over twenty military bases in countries such as Guatemala, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Haiti and Puerto Rico from which an attack on Cuba is planned. It is dear that the military preparations, which have been made against Cuba are also directed against the national liberation movements of all Latin American countries. 67.”

  3. “It is impossible to disregard the statements made by President Kennedy and by members of the United States Congress to the effect that the United States would make an armed attack on Cuba if it seemed to it that Cuba might threaten its interests and cause what they call the "Marxist-Leninist Cuban regime" to penetrate to any other Latin American country. Who can possibly believe that the Cuban nation of 7 million inhabitants is a threat to its neighbours in the Western hemisphere, who amount to over 400 million people? The groundless commotion over Cuba's aggressive intentions is vital to the United States ruling circles so that they ban mask their own aggressive intentions against revolutionary Cuba.”

  4. “It is amazing that such words can be spoken at a time when the United States Government is carrying on an unbridled campaign against Cuba and is calling on the Latin American countries — as was demonstrated by the meetings of, 2 and 3 October 1962 of the Foreign Ministers of the countries belonging to the Organization of American States — to take part in a new anti-Cuban conspiracy. The United Stated colonialists are dreaming of restoring their lost supremacy in Cuba and of turning Cuba into a sugar-supplying appendage of the United States economy. 66.”

  5. “This undisguised falsification is nevertheless obvious to all who have appraised the statement of the United States representative in an objective manner. The representative of the United States has not made a single concrete proposal to solve the vexed international questions and has hence done nothing to create an atmosphere of co-operation at the present session. 64. The United States representative's utterance on Cuba was particularly startling. Mr. Stevenson said: "The Government of Cuba, with moral and material support from outside, carries on a campaign of subversion and vituperation- against its neighbours in the Western Hemisphere." [1125th meeting.] 65.”

  6. “Stevenson, the representative of the United States of America, vainly tried, though not for the first time, to create the impression that the socialist countries are responsible, for the heightening of international tension [1125th meeting]. He carefully avoided a realistic appraisal of the most important aspects of the international situation and deliberately kept silent about the fact that it was the United States itself which was violating the principles of the United Nations and creating, by its actions, a threat of the outbreak of a thermonuclear war. The United States Press, in typical propagandist manner, tried to represent the matter as though ,the statement of the United States representative was "conciliatory" and was designed to reduce international tension.”

  7. “Khrushchev, the Head of the Soviet Government, emphasized once more from the lofty platform of the World Congress for General Disarmament and Peace that "the policy of unleashing a world war to bring about the victory of the communist ideology is completely foreign to the Soviet Union". 62. Lord Home's statement shows that he, like the representatives of the other Western States, is only in agreement with the kind of world in which nations do not struggle against the arms race and against dependence on imperialistic monopolies, do not overthrow the infamous colonial system and do not demand changes designed, to raise their material and cultural levels. 63. In his speech here on 20 September. 1962, Mr.”

  8. “Lord Home, the United Kingdom Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, speaking from this rostrum on 27 September 1962, said that peaceful, coexistence was "political warfare backed by force", by which it was "the communist intention to impose their system on the rest of the world" [1134th meeting]. 61. It is clear that the representative of the United Kingdom is vainly trying to discredit the idea of peaceful coexistence, which has been approved by the majority of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. As far as the assertion about the “communist intention to impose their system on the rest of the world”, is concerned, its propagandist nature has been unmasked on various occasions by the Soviet Union and other socialist countries. Mr. N. S.”

  9. “By contrast, the aggressive NATO bloc, under the leadership of the United States of America, is trying to turn the United Nations into a dismal replica of the League of Nations. We must not tolerate such a thing. We must do everything in our power to ensure that all States, regardless of their social and political structure, may work together successfully within, the United Nations in the interests of peace and the well being of nations. We must give a decisive rebuff to those who cast doubts on the only way in which mankind can be saved from catastrophe, namely, peaceful coexistence, which is resolutely supported by the whole of progressive mankind. 60.”

  10. “It is for this reason that, the United Nations has so far been unable to solve such grave problems as disarmament, the banning of atomic and thermo-nuclear weapons and various other burning questions. The peoples of all countries would like to have grounds for hoping that the present session of the General Assembly will take active steps to solve those problems, which are fraught with the danger of war. 59. The representatives of the socialist countries and also of many neutralist countries have, of course, striven and are still striving energetically at the United Nations for the adoption of real decisions designed to reduce international tension, avert war and increase the authority of the United Nations.”

  11. “As everyone knows the nations of the whole world put high hopes in the United Nations and expected it to take positive and effective action in the cause of peace. Unfortunately, however, the United Nations has clearly failed to fulfil such hopes. From the very first days of the practical functioning of the United Nations, it became clear that the Governments of the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France and other Western countries were ignoring the most important provisions of the Charter. Setting their voting machine in motion, they brought to nothing many highly important proposals intended to strengthen the security of nations.”

  12. “56. Mr. President, as this is my first speech of the present session, allow me to congratulate you, on behalf of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, on your election to this high office. 57. Like the representatives of other countries who have already spoken, the delegation of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic considers it necessary to express its views on the main aspects of the present-day international situation and to discuss the problems facing; the United Nations in the light of its conviction that the main objective of the United Nations is the strengthening of peace and international security. 58. Seventeen years have passed since the end of the Second World War and the signing of the United Nations Charter at San Francisco.”
