1. “It is the will of these peoples which will maintain this world parliament, to come and nourish and strengthen, it, so that it may lay down just and democratic principles to achieve peace, security and prosperity for all. It should be evident to all that any superseding of the General Assembly by special groups, provided with certain rights for known and approved purposes, would seriously hamper the General Assembly of the United Nations in its functioning, should a situation ever arise where these rights were exercised with purposes glaringly at variance with those of their establishment as well as with those of the United Nations. In justice to the peoples of the whole world, such a situation must be remedied.”

2. “The General Assembly is the only organ embodying all of the nations united, and as such, if is the most representative. To smaller groups, recruited from among the constituent dements of the General Assembly and, in fact, substantially elected by that body, are delegated certain functions which are expected to be fulfilled in a manner and spirit reflecting those, of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Any miscarriage whatsoever of the ‘purposes and aspirations of the United Nations, even by the functional groups to which I have referred, will naturally reflect upon the General Assembly, on which the hopeful gaze of all the peace-loving peoples of the world is focused.”

3. “Aware of the necessity of speedy resumption of work in the committees, I had decided not to speak at this stage of the deliberations of the General Assembly. But hew issues presented at this rostrum by some of the representatives have led me to set forth before you the views of the Turkish delegation on a few of the more important points thus far raised. This I could have done in the committees, and indeed I reserve the right to do so; but as these issues were first raised here, and inasmuch as we regard this General Assembly as that all-inclusive organ in which the very substance of the United Nations is manifest, I also deemed it proper to submit our relevant ideas to this body first. One of the issues raised related to the constructive functioning of the General Assembly of the United Nations.”
