1. “The world is in the grip of the worst economic recession in decades. All nations, and in particular the developing countries, risk jeopardizing the hard-won achievements made through international co-operation. Fundamental human rights are being increasingly violated in many parts of the world. This combination of challenges which the international community is facing today calls for determined action and constructive co-operation. The situation requires something more—and something other—than each nation working to solve its own problems. Wisdom and statesmanship are required if we are to meet these challenges. We must admit that interdependence inescapably characterizes the world today.”

2. “The Secretary-General's strong committee, to upholding the purposes and principles of the United Nations is brilliantly demonstrated in his report on the work of the Organization, which is thoughtful and thought- provoking. We, the countries of the world, would do well to heed his advice that as an important first step we should consciously recommit ourselves to seeking negotiated solutions to the world's many problems by adhering strictly to the Charter of the United Nations. 39. The world today presents a bleak picture. It is becoming increasingly difficult to remain optimistic about the future. Grave conflicts have continued to take place in many parts of the world in the period that has elapsed since the thirty-sixth session. The threat remains that local and regional conflicts will escalate to the global level.”

3. “I have the honor of addressing the Genera Assembly on behalf of the European Community and its Member States, in this capacity I take pleasure in congratulating you, Mr. President, on your election to the presidency of this Seventy-seventh session of the General Assembly. 37. I should further like to express the Community's appreciation to the outgoing President for the leadership he has shown en so many occasions during the past year 38. The 10 Member states of the European Community also wish to congratulate the new Secretary-General, now attending his first regular session of the Assembly. His tireless efforts in pursuit of peace during his first year in office have already—and justly— brought him worldwide attention.”
