The United Nations cannot survive as a static organization. Its obligations are increasing as well as its size. Its Charter must be changed as well as its customs. The authors of that Charter did not intend that it be frozen in perpetuity.

The United Nations, building on its successes and learning from its failures, must be developed into a genuine world security system. (en) |
