"The
preservation of peace and the guaranteeing of man's basic freedoms and
rights
require courage and eternal vigilance: courage to speak and act - and
if necessary,
to suffer and die - for truth and justice; eternal vigilance,
that the least
transgression of international morality shall not go
undetected and unremedied.
These lessons must be learned anew by each
succeeding generation, and that
generation is fortunate indeed which learns
from other than its own bitter
experience. This Organization and each of its
members bear a crushing and
awesome responsibility: to absorb the wisdom of
history and to apply it to
the problems of the present, in order that future
generations may be born,
and live, and die, in peace. " HIM Haile Selassie
