UNITED NATIONS AND FRAMEWORK FOR NEW ECONOMIC GLOBAL ORDER
The United Nations stands for the promise of peace, equality, justice and full opportunities for the common man everywhere.
A quiet revolution has been taking place during the last 30 years — a revolution in the realm of ideas about the quality of peace and the quality of life for all in the future. The infamous Policy of apartheid ... is a flagrant violation of the concept of equality of human beings, regardless of colour or race.
The survival of mankind in all its many-splendoured diversity depends on planned expansion of areas of equitable interdependence. To that end we need to evolve a global ethic, a code of conduct and a set of principles for managing interdependence for the purpose of sustaining economic development.

Indivisibility of world peace
The United Nations has now been in existence for thirty years, and it has seen dramatic changes in the world. It has survived the years of the "cold war" and has entered a period of detente between the great powers. It has managed to contain situations of active hostilities and in the process acquired useful experience in peace-keeping operations. Its membership which has increased rapidly, has become a hallmark of independence of the countries that have liberated themselves from colonial rule.
The United Nations stands for the promise of peace, equality, justice and full opportunities for the common man everywhere. When one examines the resolutions adopted by the United Nations on a wide variety of subjects, one sees that a quiet revolution has been taking place during the last twenty years — a revolution in the realm of ideas about the quality of peace and the quality of life for all in the future.
