  1. “In the view of my delegation, these provisions of the Charter should be fully activated, and regional organizations such as the Organization of American States, the League of Arab States, and others, should be formally recognized and encouraged to fulfill the role assigned to them in the Charter. For its part, the League of Arab States — acting in the spirit of Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter — has always endeavoured to further and strengthen its relationship with world organization. In 1950, one of the League's charter members, Syria, proposed that the General Assembly of the United Nations extend an invitation to the Secretary-General of the Arab League to attend Assembly sessions as an observer. This proposal was adopted, and the League's Secretary-General has subsequently been attending all meetings of this august body.”

  2. “Regional unity is a step forward towards the goal of one peaceful world, the high ideal for which this Organization was originally established and which it is still striving to attain. 101. This leads me to the question of specific regional organizations and their relationship to the United Nations. There is a whole chapter in our Charter devoted to this question. Chapter VIII recommends the development of pacific settlements through regional agencies, and their utilization for enforcement action. Furthermore, the regional groupings are asked to keep the Security Council informed at all times of their activities. 102.”

  3. “The unity movements now taking place in the Arab world are, indeed, peaceful, constructive and voluntary. We hail the admission of Morocco and Tunisia to the League of Arab States. Needless to say, their Arab brothers take great pride in the new members of their organization. Now we all look forward to the day when a free Algeria — a precious missing link — will be admitted as a sovereign and independent State and so complete the unity of the Arab world from the Atlantic to the Arabian Gulf. 100. I submit that these unity movements between various nations — Arab or non-Arab — should be welcomed and encouraged by all the means at the disposal of this world Organization.”

  4. “During this past year the consolidation of Arab countries and the unity movements among them became a concrete reality. Egypt and Syria merged in the United Arab Republic. Yemen confederated with the United Arab Republic as United Arab States. And just a few days ago, Morocco and Tunisia became members of the League of Arab States. These unity movements are decidedly a potent factor for world peace. 98. This surge towards Arab unity stems not from governments, but from the hearts of the people, and springs from the wells of their past and recent .hardships coupled with their hopes for the future, Arab nationalism is a strong, torrential current which, instead of being opposed, should be reckoned with and channelled into the best direction and use. 99.”

  5. “Another ray of hope is the agreement reached in the scientific conference on detection of nuclear and thermo-nuclear tests. Let us pray that this agreement may be a milestone on the road to banning nuclear and thermo-nuclear tests. We earnestly hope that we reach during this session a unanimous agreement on the immediate suspension of these weapons tests, thus ridding the whole world of the dreaded spectre of radiation. 96. A third ray of hope is the agreement between the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union to hold a conference next month to discuss means of preventing surprise attacks. It is hoped that this, too, will mark a milestone on the road to disarmament and world peace. 97. One bright ray of hope also came from the Arab world.”

  6. “Among these rays of hope are the Warsaw talks, which we hope will be crowned with success, so that the current tension in the Far East may subside. We are also greatly encouraged by the prospect of a one- week armistice in this area, a period which we earnestly hope may lead to a complete cessation of hostilities. But in this respect, let us all be frank and realistic and admit the elementary fact that, so long as the People's Republic of China is barred from this Organization, there is no hope of a lasting settlement, because an important and influential party to the dispute is denied a seat in our assemblage. For the sake of world peace, let us sincerely hope that this will be the last year in which the People's Republic of China is barred from this world Organization. 95.”

  7. “Our meeting today is held in a cloudy and highly charged atmosphere. The cold war has intensified, threatening to bring the world to the brink of war. Foreign troops are still stationed in two Arab countries; Algeria is still bleeding courageously for its- independence; the southern Arabian Peninsula is in constant turmoil because of persistent colonial aggression. Efforts to reach agreement on disarmament are frustrated and the Disarmament Commission is still paralysed. 93. Through this cloudy and charged atmosphere we nonetheless detect certain rays of hope. Faint as they are, they still encourage us to believe that — with good will — we can advance during this session and take a step forward towards world peace and security. 94.”

  8. “Last night we heard the shocking news about the serious illness of His Holiness Pope Pius XII, A great and wise religious leader who has dedicated his whole life to the cause of peace and understanding is now hovering between life and death. We in the Moslem world believe in the continued understanding between Islam and all other religions. May I express from this rostrum our sincere wishes for a speedy and complete recovery of His Holiness the Pope so that he may, in good health, continue his efforts in the cause of peace. 91. Once more we meet together to take stock of the past and try to plan and build for the future. Unfortunately, in reviewing the events which have taken place since the twelfth session, we must note with regret that the balance-sheet of world peace is still in deficit. 92.”

  9. “89. Mr. President, your election to the high post of President of this Assembly is a source of real pleasure and pride to all of us, but especially to the Arab Members of the United Nations. May I express to you my hearty congratulations on the well-earned confidence in you which the Assembly has displayed. The spirit of sportsmanship which has been shown by you, Mr. President, and by your Arab colleague, Mr. Mahgoub, the distinguished Foreign Minister of the Sudan, whom we all hold in high esteem as one of the most prominent statesmen of the Arab world, fills us — the Arab nations — with great pride. It shows beyond doubt a healthy competitive spirit between two Arab colleagues aspiring to serve this great Organization. Moreover, it portrays in bold relief the importance which we in the Arab world attach to the United Nations. 90.”
