Statesmanship Hope of Peace Says Trygve Lie
Trygve Lie urges a bold and enlightened act of statesmanship to avert a third world war. In his 143rd annual report to the UN General Assembly, he cites Korea as a catalyst for renewed negotiations and stresses peace by negotiation, conciliation, and mediation alongside the U.N. mission in Korea. He warns the Korean crisis poses the era’s gravest peace danger since 1945 and calls for top-level talks among big powers and a reallocation of China's UN seat to the mainland government. He notes U.N. agencies show potential for peace but require broader participation and funds, while self-help and mutual aid are needed to bolster development. The report coincides with debates on North Korea and Red China at the Security Council and a push for admission of more nations to the UN.
