Mr. Munro, would you say that the opposing policies of Russia and the free world are the main obstacle to the work of the UN Security Council?

Munro
I would say so, definitely. Why was the Security Council in a state of intermission for a state of eighteen months? Simply because the veto drove the powers to use the Assembly. And if we're going to have a series of vetoes, which with each reveal nothing more or less than this tension between the west and the communist powers, then we're going to have a permanent division and our work in the Council, the assemblies, in the Assembly, and in the committees, our work will be stopped.
