  1. “As regards Angola, the Central African Republic, my country, is concerned hy the strife among brothers which divides the three national liberation movements and would like to reiterate the appeal it made at Kampala and Lima to the political leadens of Angola to find a basis for the peaceful settlement of their dispute, and to do so before 11 November 1975. 264. In the same connexion, my eouniry is convinced that the good offices now offered by the OAU to our brothers, the Angolan leaders, will be accepted in the interests of their peoples. 265. The so-called "Spanish Sahara" is another burning contemporary problem which is of great concern to all of us. We base our hope on a rapid and reasonable solution to this question.”

  2. “In the case of southern Africa, the Central African Republic is following developments there with great interest and my delegation endorses the statement by the current President of the General Assembly: "May we hope that the still faint signs of progress we have detected these past few months will gain in strength and scope and that the movement thus begun will lead to the desired result within a reasonable period of lime? It would in any event be wise for the authorities who still hold the key to the situation to make the necessary concessions in their own interest." [2351st meeting, para. 263.”

  3. “Jean-Bedel Bokassa has, by the principle of zo kwe zo consecrated "dignity and respect" for man in its most noble sense. 260. It is obvious, therefore, that in the Central African Republic we believe that whatever the nature of the dispute or conflict that divides two countries, two communities or two individuals, it should be solved by negotiation and consultation, not by violence. 261. In our review of the situation, we noted the positive progress made through the efforts of our Organization. Nevertheless, several hotbeds of tension exist throughout the world. 262.”

  4. “"Despite the principle of non-interference in the affairs of other States and the principle of respect for national sovereignty, certain States continue to organize campaigns of slander and disparagement in their national press against other States."13 258. This background allows us to affirm that peace and social justice, two fundamental concepts of the 3% Charter of the United Nations, need sustained efforts on the part of our community for their concrete implementation. 259. The Central African Republic, which draws its political strength from MESAN, our great national single party, is the work of Barthelemy Boganda, its founder President. This great African figure, venerated leader of our nation, based his action an the philosophy ofzohve z<> which means "equality among men". His worthy successor, Mr.”

  5. “Jean-Bedel Bokassa made a forceful denunciation of this in the General Assembly. He said: "We believe also that the United Nations specialized agencies should be freed from the abusive influence of certain States which do not hesitate to delay, even to thwart and to boycott, consideration of background material presented by certain other States whose political leanings are not to their liking."12 In the same spirit, the President also stated: "Attempts either partially or completely to destroy the territorial integrity of States are still common among the imperialists, colonialists and neo-colonialists, for whom the independence of States must be only a screen to enable them to perpetuate their exploitation.”

  6. “The armaments race continues at a frenetic pace, although disarmament and detente are ceaselessly preached. 255. Entire nations are bound by the chains of colonialism and of racist contempt, while neocolonialism continues to subjugate peoples that have recently attained their freedom and are trying to maintain and consolidate their interests, 256. The world economic situation continues to deteriorate, in particular in the developing countries, under the baneful influence of a galloping inflation caused by monetary disorder. The huge gap separating the highly industrialized world, where waste is not infrequent, from the other world, which is a prey to hunger, disease, ignorance and poverty, is widening to the detriment of hundreds of millions of human beings. 257. Mr.”

  7. “My country, the Central African Republic, feels legitimate pride in greeting, through its spokesman, myself, the States of Mozambique, Cape Verde, and Sao Tome and Principe, which have just acceded to independence and have taken their places in all dignity among the members of the international community, At the same time my delegation would like to welcome the fact that Papua New Guinea is to be admitted to the United Nations in October 1975. 253. At the same time we must unfortunately note that difficulties are being encountered in the implementation of some principles of the Charter and a considerable number of resolutions, so that peace is constantly troubled by the existence of many armed conflicts in many parts of the world. 254.”

  8. “It goes without saying that these changes have been favorably received and represent positive progress which honors our Organization. 251 The activities pursued by the specialized agencies have been appreciable and, as was declared in this Assembly on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the United Nations on 20 October 1970 by Jean-Bedel Bokassa, President-for-Life, Marshal of the Central African Republic, "our Organization is journeying step by step towards universality and will embrace, in what we hope will be the near future, all those nations that have espoused peace and justice."" 252.”

  9. “Therefore it seems very important to consider the role our Organization has played during these 30 years of its existence and to trace the path Member States should follow to correct the mistakes of the past and to make this Organization more efficient in future. 250. If it seems difficult to draw up a balance sheet that is complete and satisfactory in all fields, nevertheless concrete results have been obtained. Some conflicts have been solved peacefully through the efforts of our Organization. All the major problems of our time decolonization, women's rights, population, food, raw materials, the environment, and energy, to mention but a few have been tackled, and world conferences have been devoted to them, particularly this year.”

  10. “Those who wrote the Charter gave the United Nations precise objectives: to maintain international peace and security; to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principles of equal rights and self-determination of peoples; to achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and to be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends. 249. It would be advisable to emphasize that such noble ideals could not but claim the allegiance of the States which then enjoyed total freedom.”

  11. “We should also like to pay a tribute and express our gratitude to the Secretary-General, who, with his staff, is sparing no effort to infuse into our Organization all the vitality needed to achieve its noble objectives. 247. Thirty years ago, on 25 June 1945, after a war that had imperiled the balance of the world, men of goodwill meeting in San Francisco founded our Organization, which thus succeeded the League of Nations. 248.”

  12. “We should like to include in this tribute the Vice-Presidents and the other members of the General Committee. 245. My delegation would also like to avail itself of this opportunity to offer its most fraternal congratulations to Mr. Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Algeria, who successively presided over the twenty-ninth regular session and the seventh special session of the General Assembly. Thanks to his competence, courage, dynamism and integrity, that worthy son of Africa was, during our debates, able to create a dialog in which the spirit of candor, consultation and co-operation prevailed. 246.”

  13. “In fact, the States represented at this anniversary session of the Assembly, by entrusting to the Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Luxembourg the task of leading our work, paid a particularly well-deserved tribute to a great statesman and at the same time gave proof of their recognition of his beautiful country, which has always made remarkable efforts in favor of our Organization, thus assuring it of support in its search for a lasting peace, security and well-being for all human beings living on our planet. My country, the Central African Republic, is indeed very happy at this choice in view of the relations of friendship and co-operation which link it to Luxembourg within the framework of the European Economic Community. 244.”

  14. “243. In the name of Mr. Jean-Bedel Bokassa, President-for-Life, Marshal of the Central African Republic and President for Life of the Mouvement de 1'evolution sociale de l'Afrique noire [MESAN], of our great single national party, on behalf of the Central African people and on behalf of the delegation that I have the honor of leading, allow me to extend our most sincere congratulations to the President on his election to the presidency of the thirtieth session of the General Assembly.”
