“Thirdly, in southern Africa the barbarous and colonialist apartheid regime of Vorster and the racist and colonialist regime of Ian Smith have been severely shaken by the powerful struggles of the peoples of Zimbabwe, Namibia and Azania. Those regimes would have crumbled long ago if the rich great Powers and their supporters had not given their political and material support, and carried out manoeuvres, to oppose the resolute struggle of the peoples. We offer our continuing resolute support to all peoples and countries of Africa, all the non-aligned countries and countries of the third world in their action against the treacherous manoeuvres of the wealthy great Powers and their supporters.”

“Secondly, the United States of America continues its interference and intervention in the internal affairs of China. The People's Republic of China rightly insists on defending its national sovereignty and its territorial integrity. The liberation of Taiwan, which is an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China, is a matter which falls entirely within the sovereignty of that country and must be resolved by the Chinese people themselves, without any foreign interference. The Government of Democratic Kampuchea unreservedly supports the position of the People's Republic of China and the manner in which that Republic is seeking to resolve the problem of Taiwan. 35.”

“The United States of America should immediately withdraw from South Korea all its land, naval and air forces and all its military materiel, including nuclear weapons; it should cease its interference and intervention in and its aggression against Korea, abandon its policy of "two Koreas", dissolve the so-called "United Nations Command" and transform the "Armistice Agreement" into a definitive peace agreement. That is the only way the problem of Korea can be resolved in full independence and sovereignty without any foreign interference. The1 Government of Democratic Kampuchea wishes to reaffirm here its complete support for the position of President Kim 11 Sung and the proposals formulated by him for resolving the problem of the reunification of Korea. 34.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“But the Government of the United States of America obstinately continues its designs for aggression and interference in Korea, its policy of "two Koreas" and of maintaining its domination over the southern part of the country. Recently, while the South Korean puppets were stepping up their cruel and Fascist repression of the population, the United .States of America took various measures in South Korea to strengthen its military base and its neo-colonialist regime there in order to perpetuate the division of Korea. That is a further grave violation of General Assembly resolution 3390 B (XXX) and also a fundamental obstacle to the reunification of the Korean homeland.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“Although we continue to face many problems following the devastating war waged by the American imperialists we are doing our best to show our solidarity and to give our moral and political support while standing firmly shoulder to shoulder with the peoples struggling for national liberation, independence, freedom, democracy and social progress. 33. First in Korea, the Government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea under the leadership of President Kim II Sung, representing the profound aspirations of the entire Korean people, has repeatedly put forward proposals for resolving the problem of Korea and reuniting Korea in full independence and sovereignty.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“Democratic Kampuchea considers it to be its noble duty to show its solidarity with and give support to the just struggles of the exploited peoples and of the non-aligned and third-world countries for independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, the right to decide their own destiny and to build an independent and prosperous economy and against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, expansionism, Zionism, racism, apartheid and all the forces of interference, aggression, expansion and annexation.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“Such solidarity among the peoples of countries with billions of inhabitants and with an ever keener political awareness, represents a prodigious force which no Power or manoeuvre can impede. In the future that force of solidarity based firmly on the principle of mutual respect and equality will be further strengthened. 31. The people of Kampuchea, who suffered from the war of aggression waged by the American imperialists and their lackeys, who carried on a stubborn fight for national liberation and who are at present struggling to defend and build their country in the new stage of their revolution, greatly appreciate the real value and effectiveness of the moral and political support of the struggling peoples, the non-aligned and third-world countries and the genuinely progressive countries of the world. 32.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“The political and moral support that the oppressed peoples, the peoples of the non-aligned countries and the third world give one another is a powerful source of mutual encouragement and has become a material force which bears down hard on all oppressors, interventionists, aggressors, and annexationists, inflicting on them defeat after defeat. Such solidarity is thus an imperative necessity and a sacred duty. It has been consolidated in the course of struggle for it is based on the principles of equality, mutual respect for independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual support, non-interference in the domestic affairs of others and respect for the right of every people to decide the destiny of its country in full independence and sovereignty.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“The resolution of The Organization of African Unity against interference by wealthy great Powers in the affairs of the African continent" does not, merely emphasize the determination of the African peoples to struggle against outside interference and to choose their own destiny; that resolution also shows that the countries of Africa are resolved to strengthen their solidarity where their common interests are concerned and to settle their problems among themselves without any outside interference. Furthermore, the success of the first summit Conference of Arab and African countries last March also "advanced the struggle against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, expansionism, Zionism, racism, and apartheid. 30.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“In the course of the past year and parallel to their efforts in their struggle in full independence and sovereignty, the African peoples have consolidated and developed their solidarity and have given each other encouragement and support. The Organization of African Unity has decided to consider the struggle to overthrow the racist regimes and apartheid and for the liberation of southern Africa as the task of all African countries and has determined to increase its support for the national liberation movements in that region. Thanks to that support the peoples of Zimbabwe, Namibia and Azania have been able to carry their just cause towards victory.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“After the failure of the United States policy of aggression in the region and, in particular, after the complete collapse of the South-East Asia Treaty Organization, the peoples of South-East Asia, having seen through the designs of the imperialists, the expansionists and their partisans, stepped up their struggle in full independence and sovereignty and have resorted to their own means to achieve their aspirations to independence, peace, neutrality and genuine democracy in their respective countries, without military bases or foreign troops on their national territories. The peoples of the countries in that region are resolutely opposed to all forms of foreign interference and intervention, so that their countries may live in genuine independence and sovereignty. 29.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“They are engaging in psychological warfare and attempting through campaigns of mendacious propaganda to create in the peoples a spirit of impendence and servility vis-à-vis the great Powers. They are interfering in domestic affairs, provoking conflicts, exacerbating contradictions and doing everything possible to divide the movement of the peoples' struggle, to sow discord in the ranks of the non-aligned countries and to undermine the solidarity of the countries of the third world. But the struggling peoples are more and more aware of the truly cruel and stubborn nature of the imperialists and expansionists and of their annexationist ambitions, their aggressive designs and their false and treacherous manoeuvres. That is why the peoples of the world resolutely oppose them. 28.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“This is a new situation which will gladden the hearts of all the world's peoples and will further strengthen their confidence, but which causes panic among imperialists and reactionaries of every kind. By standing firm the struggling peoples have won one victory after another, creating a new situation favourable to the revolutionary cause and to the cause of the national liberation of peoples throughout the world. 27. Faced with this situation, the imperialists and the expansionists, who have suffered one complete defeat after another, are pursuing their subversive activities in various regions of the world in order to stem the victorious tide of the peoples' struggle.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“We extend our warm congratulations and our welcome to the delegation of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, which is participating in our work for the first time since its complete liberation on 30 April 1975 and the achievement of the unity of the country. We also express our warm congratulations to the Republic of Djibouti on its admission to the United Nations. 26. In the course of the past year the movement of revolutionary struggle, the movement of national liberation, the struggle for the defence of independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and the right of self-determination and the struggle of the oppressed peoples, of the peoples of the non-aligned countries and of the third world to build their nations have made a tremendous forward thrust and have grown prodigiously.”
1977-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 32 (1977)
“23. Mr. President, the delegation of Democratic Kampuchea is happy to extend to you its warmest congratulations on your election to the presidency of the thirty-second session of the United Nations General Assembly. Your election represents a tribute to Yugoslavia, a friendly nation which has always pursued a policy of independence and non-alignment and, through Yugoslavia, it also represents a tribute to the movement and the principles of non-alignment. We offer you our best wishes for success in carrying out your new mission. 24. We should like also warmly to congratulate Mr. Hamilton Shirley Amerasinghe on his success as President of the thirty-first session of our General Assembly. 25.”

“In the past, now, and in the future, the people of Kampuchea will identify themselves with the noble struggle of all the peace-loving and justice-loving people and will continue to work to hasten their victory.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“They were won at a time when imperialism held sway in the world, but in our time they will be won even more certainly, because our time is a time when the liberation movement is mobilizing all the peoples of the third world and all peoples in the world who love peace and justice. 97. In the struggle of all the peoples for a better world where freedom, peace, friendship, democracy, justice and social progress reign, the people of Kampuchea have made their contribution by the sacrifices they made in their national liberation struggle. At the present time they are continuing to make their contribution by their efforts to defend and build their country devastated by war.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“The nations and peoples of the third world have to do away with the encumbering economic, social and cultural heritage bequeathed by colonialism. The peoples who are still oppressed will have to make a great many more sacrifices in order to win their freedom. Imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, Zionism and all the forces of foreign domination and exploitation are persisting in their policies of oppression and are stepping up their war preparations and multiplying their divisive and diversionary manoeuvres. But the oppressed know very well that freedom, equality and human dignity are not received as gifts but won by struggle.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“In greater numbers now the third world countries are becoming convinced that, through their determined and stubborn efforts to build a national economy in each of their countries on the basis of the principle of independence, sovereignty and self-reliance, through their solidarity and co-operation based upon equality and mutual respect, mutual advantage, non interference in internal affairs, and through their common struggle against all relations of domination and foreign exploitation, they will succeed in establishing a new international economic order. 96. The numerous victories won in the liberation struggles of peoples should not make us forget that there are still very many obstacles blocking their long and arduous progress.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Foreign assistance is used in addition to the efforts of the whole nation, provided that it is unconditional, has no strings attached, and helps consolidation of independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. 95. These principles of independence, sovereignty and self-reliance on the national level are by no means incompatible with the need to strengthen, in particular with the other developing countries, solidarity and international co-operation based on mutual respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, non-interference in internal affairs, equality and mutual advantage.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“They mean that the efforts of building the economy must necessarily be based, above all, on the inexhaustible and creative strength of the people and the use of all resources and the full potential of the nation. This necessarily entails a bitter and constant struggle against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism and against all forms of domination and foreign exploitation, for the exercise of full national sovereignty over all the resources and economic activities of the country, including the sovereign right to nationalize transnational companies, which serve only to absorb all the energies of a country with a view to subordinating it to the developed countries.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“The mobilization and proper use of these resources would make possible rapid economic development, not on the model of the rich countries but on a model which would be more in keeping with the political, economic, social and cultural features of each nation and people. 94. Placing their confidence in the resources, strength and capacity of their nation and people, many developing countries have thus scored encouraging successes in the building of their economy on the basis of the principles of independence, sovereignty and self-reliance. These principles do not mean isolationism or any deliberate determination to live in self-sufficiency, or aloof from international co-operation; nor do they mean the rejection of foreign assistance.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“However, together with this common struggle for the establishment of a new international economic order, developing countries are waging, with determination and success, a desperate and persistent struggle to win their economic independence and to consolidate their political independence. Of course, third world countries are poor today because they were exploited and pillaged for centuries by colonialism and then by neo-colonialism within the framework of the current relations of domination and dependence. But these countries possess great human potential and considerable natural resources.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Many conferences and international debates have been held and have made it possible for the developing and developed countries to adopt, after arduous negotiation, a certain number of resolutions on the establishment of this new international economic order. Although these resolutions are not all satisfactory to the developing countries, none of them has yet been put into effect. It is clear that there remains a great deal of ground to be covered, ground which is strewn with obstacles erected by the rich major Powers in order to preserve their privileges. Experience has taught us all that any renunciation of privilege can only be the fruit of stubborn, persistent and self-sacrificing struggle. 93.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Furthermore, the unequal and iniquitous relations have made possible the importation into those countries of the economic and financial crisis of the capitalist world with all its corollaries, namely, inflation, price rises, currency devaluation and the lowering of the people's standard of living. 91. In a word, the gap between the rich and poor countries keeps on growing. The developed countries cannot shirk their responsibility, which derives from many sources, in this increasingly alarming development. The establishment of a new international economic order, based on equality, respect, mutual advantage and non-interference in the internal affairs of other States, has become an urgent need. 92.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“This out-moded system, based on relations of domination, exploitation and dependence, made it possible for the developed countries to become rich very rapidly and to live in luxury and extravagance, while the developing countries are becoming progressively more impoverished and remain, since they became politically independent, in the grip of serious problems of poverty, malnutrition and hunger, disease and illiteracy. 90. The terms of trade of these developing countries have continued to deteriorate because the commodities and raw materials which they possess are constantly losing value. Their indebtedness, with all the financial implications attaching thereto, has become traumatically worse.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“With regard to the exploration and exploitation of the sea-bed of the international zone which constitutes the common heritage of mankind, we believe that only an international authority given the necessary powers and competence can properly defend the legitimate interests of the developing countries. 89. The problems of economic development remain the major concern of our world. For almost four years the third world countries have combined their efforts to replace the present international economic order.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“This sovereignty is subject to no limitation, restriction or reservation, in the sense that if the coastal State does not explore its own continental shelf or does not exploit its natural resources for its own reasons, no one may undertake, whatever the circumstances or the reasons, such activities without the explicit consent of the coastal State. Democratic Kampuchea categorically opposes any action taken against its interests, or any foreign activity or undertaking, past, present or future, which would be prejudicial to its sovereign rights over its continental shelf. 88.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Within this economic zone the coastal State has sovereign and exclusive rights for the purposes of exploration, exploitation, conservation and management of all natural resources of the sea-bed, its subsoil and super-jacent waters. No one can claim on any pretext the right to tap these resources without the prior authorization of the coastal State. Such an act would constitute a violation of the sovereignty of the coastal State. 87. With regard to the continental shelf, Democratic Kampuchea believes that the coastal State enjoys full and total sovereignty over it for purposes of exploration and exploitation of its natural resources.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Freedom of navigation and the development of international trade should not serve as pretexts to limit the sovereignty of coastal States or their rights over the natural resources of the sea. 85. In accordance with these principles, Democratic Kampuchea would like to make it clear once again that it cannot accept innocent passage over its territorial sea, which it set at 12 nautical miles with effect from September 1969. Indeed, so-called innocent passage has often been used by certain major maritime Powers and their allies for purposes of spying and subversion against our country and people. 86. Democratic Kampuchea unreservedly supports the right of all coastal States to possess an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles, which would not form part of the high seas.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Sixthly, the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea is at a standstill, primarily because of the obstinacy of the major maritime Powers in preserving their privileges and failing to respect the sovereign rights of other coastal States. Our delegation would like to repeat here the position of Democratic Kampuchea on a certain number of problems. 84. Democratic Kampuchea believes that the sea should be harnessed to the service of development and well-being, prosperity of the peoples, and peace and justice. The new rules of the law of the sea should guarantee all States, particularly developing States, against any threats to their security, sovereignty or territorial integrity.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“And the organ where this responsibility could most effectively be exercised is our General Assembly, where all States are represented and whose powers would gain by being made more extensive and more effective. 82. The revision of the Charter and the restructuring of the United Nations have become very important because they are very far-reaching matters. They must therefore be adapted to the irreversible progress of our world towards a better and more just world. The effectiveness of United Nations actions is linked with the responses which it will give and the positions it will take vis-a-vis the new realities of the world today. 83.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“In fact, the use of the right of veto to oppose just and relevant measures taken by the majority of States Members of the United Nations against States which have violated the Charter has paralyzed the efforts of the Organization to find solutions to the Palestinian problem and the problem of the decolonization of southern Africa. Similarly, the use of the veto to oppose the admission of new Members to our Organization is a way of curbing the dynamism of the third world. 81. There is no doubt that, if we really want to strengthen the role of the United Nations at the present time, decisions on major world problems can no longer be the prerogative of the rich major Powers but should form part of the responsibilities of all States, large and small, placed on an equal footing.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“We should, furthermore, adopt a solution to the present anachronism constituted by the fact that the rich major Powers continue to exercise control, particularly in the Security Council, while the third world countries are asserting themselves with ever greater vigor on the international scene and also in the General Assembly. This anachronism is inimical to and weakens the role of the United Nations. It is clear that the role, composition and rules of the Security Council would benefit by being changed in the light of the new realities prevailing in the world. We should give serious attention to the possibility of limiting, if not abolishing, the right of veto, the use of which has in fact only served to preserve the privileges of the rich major Powers against the interests of the third world.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“The essential objective of the revision of the United Nations Charter should be the strengthening of the role of the Organization in the search for solutions to the important and serious problems of the world today, dominated as it is by problems of the third world, and also in the effective application of the resolutions of our General Assembly. To this end it is necessary, first, that the great responsibilities of our Organization be entrusted primarily to persons perfectly familiar with the problems of the third world, who have displayed a determination to serve this end and who have won the confidence of the countries of the third world. 80.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Fifthly, the profound changes which have occurred on the international scene over the last three decades necessarily entail a restructuring of the United Nations and a revision of its Charter so that they may be adapted to contemporary realities and be more responsive to the aspirations of all peoples who want to be masters of their own destiny, dispose of their national resources in all independence and sovereignty and establish international relations based on justice and equality in a new world founded upon genuine independence, democracy, social progress and peace, and free of imperialism, neo-colonialism, racism and all other forms of foreign domination and exploitation. 79.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“We are confident that the OAU Summit will take decisions in keeping with the spirit of friendship and solidarity of the States of the area. 77. We firmly support the liberation movements of the peoples of Latin America. We express once again our solidarity with the people and Government of Cuba in their legitimate claim to have the Guantanamo base restored to them by the United States of America. We support the just struggle of the people and Government of Panama to recover effective sovereignty and total jurisdiction of the Canal Zone. We express again our solidarity with the people of Puerto Rico in their struggle for the full exercise of their national rights. 78.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“This is a just stand which demonstrates that Africa belongs to the Africans and decolonization of the African continent is the business of the African peoples. We offer our whole-hearted support for this just position and also for all the efforts of the African peoples for the total decolonization of Africa. 75. In this spirit we would like to repeat our expression of firm solidarity with the struggle of the people of the Comoros for respect for their national unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity through reintegration in the archipelago of the island of Mayotte. 76. Concerning Western Sahara we believe, in accordance with our unswerving position, that this problem should be resolved on the basis of the principle of self-determination.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“We would express our whole-hearted solidarity with the struggle of the peoples of Zimbabwe, Namibia and Azania and also all friendly peoples in that part of southern Africa which, in support of those struggles, have taken energetic measures against the racist regimes in Salisbury and Pretoria. By their determined and persistent struggle, by the unity and vigilance in the face of the divisive manoeuvres of imperialism and all the forces of foreign domination, the peoples of Zimbabwe, Namibia and Azania will win their independence and human dignity. The struggle has received considerable encouragement from all African countries which together at the third OAU Summit made an urgent appeal for the strengthening of the armed struggle and decided to that end to provide the utmost political, economic and military aid.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Massacres like that of Soweto, arrests, detention, torture, deportation of civilian populations are going on, veritable acts of defiance of the international community. But the peoples of southern Africa have come to the point where they can no longer suffer in silence the humiliation, the subjugation and injustice which they have suffered because of the color of their skins. They have intensified with determination their struggle against the inhumane and oppressive system of apartheid and racial discrimination to recover their freedom, justice and human dignity. 74.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Neither force nor sophistry can weaken the will for independence of the people of East Timor. 73. The determination to be independent is asserting itself with unprecedented vigor in southern Africa, which has now become the cockpit of the struggle for decolonization. Minority racist regimes in Salisbury and Pretoria have rejected all the decisions of the United Nations, and have refused the offer of peaceful change contained in the Lusaka Manifesto. With the assistance of other imperialist powers, they have intensified measures of repression, have strengthened their Fascist domination, stepped up their preparations for war and are multiplying their divisive manoeuvres against the peoples of Zimbabwe, Namibia and Azania.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“The General Assembly, at its thirtieth session, and the Security Council have adopted resolutions calling for the withdrawal of all foreign troops, and the respect of all countries for the territorial integrity of East Timor and the inalienable rights of the people of Timor to self-determination and independence. These are extremely relevant resolutions, but the country responsible for the denial of the rights is continuing to ignore them. The annexation of East Timor is an act committed in defiance of the aspirations of its people. The just struggle of the people and Government of the Democratic Republic of East Timor, under the leadership of the Frente Revolucionaria Timor Leste Independente [FRETILIN] to recover its independence has won the support and active solidarity of Democratic Kampuchea.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“We express once again our firm and constant support for the People's Republic of China in its struggle for the respect of its national sovereignty and territorial integrity and for the return to it of that island. 71. Fourthly, problems of decolonization continue to be acute. 72. In East Timor, the people are still being denied the independence which they won at such high cost after a long and brave struggle. Indeed, on the very morrow of the independence of that country it was a victim of aggression and was then annexed by force.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Democratic Kampuchea will continue also firmly to support the just struggle of the other Arab peoples for the recovery of their territories occupied by force by Israeli zionism since 1967. It is our conviction that thanks to their struggle and their solidarity, which is persistent, stubborn and resolute, and thanks to the solidarity of all peoples who love peace and justice, the just and sacred cause of the Palestinian people and other Arab peoples will triumph. 70. Thirdly, Taiwan has not yet been reintegrated with its mother country because of the intervention and military occupation of the United States, which has lasted for more than 27 years.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Democratic Kampuchea has always firmly supported the just struggle of the Palestinian people and will continue to do so until the Palestinian people are able to exercise their inalienable national rights, including their rights to self-determination, independence and sovereignty, and until they can exercise their inalienable right to return to their homes and their property, from which they were removed and uprooted. We are gratified by the considerable progress made by the Palestine Liberation Organization, which is recognized by the United Nations, the group of non-aligned countries, the League of Arab States, the Organization of African Unity and the overwhelming majority of the international community. 69.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“Israeli Zionism continues, thanks to assistance from the United States, to impede all efforts and all relevant resolutions of the United Nations intended to settle the problem, It is persisting in its aggression against the Palestinian and Arab people and denying to the Palestinian people the exercise of their inalienable national rights recognized by resolution 3236 (XXIX). Furthermore, it is consolidating the establishment of its settlements on Arab territories occupied by force. 68.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“The problem of Korea can only be solved in accordance with resolution 3390 B (XXX), that is to say, by a cessation of intervention and aggression by the United States in Korea, the total withdrawal from South Korea of American troops and their military equipment, including nuclear weapons, the dissolution of the so-called "United Nations High Command" and the transformation of the temporary armistice into a peace agreement. 66. Secondly, in the Middle East, until the Palestinian people have recovered their inalienable national rights, there is no hope of establishing any lasting peace there. 67.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“All these facts make it quite clear that the United States of America and the Seoul regime are actively preparing for a new aggression against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and that the American troops stationed in South Korea do in fact constitute a fundamental obstacle to the reunification of Korea and a serious threat to peace in that part of the world. 65. Democratic Kampuchea firmly supports the three principles and the five guidelines of President Kim II Sung for solving the Korean problem.”
1976-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 31 (1976)
“First, Korea remains divided and has been so for more than 30 years, because the United States is persisting in pursuing its policy of "two Koreas" and its domination of the southern part of Korea. In defiance of the joint North-South statement of 4 July 1972 and resolution 3390 B (XXX), the United States has strengthened its occupation forces in South Korea and has sent large quantities of modern arms, including nuclear weapons, to that country. It has drawn up plans for attacking and occupying the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the space of a few days. In South Korea the neo-colonialist regime is arresting, imprisoning and assassinating Korean patriots whose only crime has been that of calling for the independent and peaceful reunification of their country. 64.”

“To all the movements of the peoples struggling for independence, freedom, democracy and social progress against imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism, racism, Zionism and all other forms of domination and foreign exploitation, Democratic Kampuchea will continue, as it has in the past, to demonstrate active solidarity and firm support. 62. The irresistible momentum of the emancipatory movement of the oppressed nations and peoples is alarming imperialism and all the forces of domination and foreign exploitation, which are multiplying their activities to strengthen their last bastions, to preserve their privileges and to suppress the aspirations of the peoples to freedom, justice and social progress. 63.”
