i myself have no plan of my own for reorganizing united nations. i will just address the basic parameters of such changes as already for solution. the united nations, which emerged from the results and the lessons of the second world war is still marked by the period of its creation. this is true both for the makeup of its subsidiary bodies and auxiliary institutions and with respect to its functioning. nothing for instance, other than the division into victors and vanquished explains why such countries as germany and japan do not figure among the permanent members of the security council. in general, i feel that article 53, which makes reference to a hostile states should be immediately deleted from the un charter. also, the possession of nuclear weapons would be archaic in the new era opening up before us. the great country of india should be represented in the security council. the authority and potential of the council would also be enhanced by incorporating, on a permanent basis of a, indonesia, canada, poland, brazil, mexico and egypt into th

castro enlivens a debate in the united nations on cuban charges of aggression by the united states. meanwhile in moscow, an expert at fishing and troubled waters reels out the line of friendship to a group of news men in cuba. kruschev happily received a gift of the cuban flag as he lines up for a solid endorsement of fidel castro, the soviets' sole western hemisphere ally. ♪ narrator: castro marks the second anniversary of his revelation with the biggest military parade ever staged in cuba, featuring tanks and other heavy weapons from russia and red czechoslovakia. castro demanded the u.s. embassy drastically reduce its staff to 11 persons. it was the last straw and his long campaign of provocation and harassment. president eisenhower roque off relations with a message read by the press secretary. >> there is a limit by what the united states can endure. that limit has been reached. our friendship for the cuban people is not affected. it is my hope and my conviction that in the not too distant future, it will be possible for the historic friendship between us once again to find r

nations are good for example and what the united states and nato have been pushing recently under the curious name of rules based international order that term is that expression is used several times a day by nato secretary general stoltenberg blank and most notoriously at the nato foreign ministers meeting a few days ago and it's clearly they're targeting russia and china that's indisputable throwing them incidentally if you read or of listen to blink and address on march 24th at nato headquarters where he throws russia and china into the same category as north korea and iran and some new axis of evil if you will is that ideological no except in the sense that by rules base or values based international order the united states and its vassals in tributaries to quote the present you know have developed a sort of the social cultural norm that almost serves as the equivalent of a political ideology and it's one that they want to enforce on the rest of the world of the rest of the world doesn't go along with it they're isolated in their traduced and they're you know they're all timidly

there are already the special united nations -- united states relations with canada which i have just mentioned, and there are the special relations between the united states in the south american republics. we british have art 20 years, i agree with mr. be even, the british have 20 years treaty of collaboration and mutual assistance with soviet russia. i agree with mr. bevin, the foreign secretary of great britain, that it might well be a 50 years treaty so far as we are concerned. we aim nothing but mutual assistance and collaboration [applause]. the british have an alliance with portugal, unbroken's since eight -- 1384, and which produced fruitful results at critical moments in the late war. none of these clash with the general interest of our world agreement, where a world organization, on the contrary they help it. and my father's house are many specialists oceans between members of the united nations which have no aggressive point against our other country, which harbor no design incompatible with the charter of the united nations, far from being harmful, are the beneficial and,

meanwhile, at the united nations, the cuban foreign minister accused the united states of unleashing a foreign invasion with soldiers trained in florida. ambassador stevenson makes a quick denial. >> these charges are totally false, and i deny them categorically the united states has committed no aggression against cuba, and no offensive has been launched from florida or from any other parts of the united states. and >> in the guatemalan foothills, there is a mysterious training depot where some of the raiders may have been based. the government denies cues are among the soldiers being instruction, but they say otherwise. professional children with teachers. and once trained, the men mysteriously disappear. guatemala has had no beef for the castro busy regime and has aided the rebels. in cuba itself, the people have been -- by castro to push back the invaders, and 300,000 militiamen have been mobilized. the invasion was successful and it's really areas with castro of course blaming the u.s.. it is the first change in his armor? november 2nd 1960, a new york times television review wr

our diplomatic editor is at the united nations with more. james: the security council was briefed by the united nations senior humanitarian official. the briefing took place behind closed doors, but "al jazeera" has obtained a copy of his remarks. he told the security council that the reports of mass killings, executions, and a campaign of systematic rape. much of what he said contradicted the ethiopian government statements. he told the council, "i must say that neither united nations or any other humanitarian agencies we work with have seen proof of withdrawal. we e have, however, have reports of soldiers now wearing ethiopian defense force uniforms. -- uniforms." the situation is grim, so what should be done now? i put that to the secretary-general. >> which should be done is to increase humanitarian access -- what should be done is to increase you mentoring access to see real movement on the investigations, given the reports from our own people, sometimes from dep open government -- sometimes from the ethiopian government, and reconcilia

the successor of the league of nations with the addition of the united states, it is already at work. we must make sure its work is fruitful, that it is a reality and not a sham, that it is a force for action and not merely a fronting of words, that it is a true temple of peace in which the shields of many nations can some day be hung up, and not merely a cockpit in a tower of babel. before we cast away the solid assurances of national armaments for self-preservation, we must be certain that our temple is built not upon shifting sands or quagmires, but on rock. anyone can see with that our past will be difficult and also long. but if we persevere together, as we did in the two world wars, i cannot doubt that we shall achieve our common purpose in the end. i have, however, adapted a practical proposal to make for action. manuscripts may be set up and courts, but they cannot function without sheriffs and constables. the united nations organization must immediately begin to be equipped with an international armed force in such a matter we can only go step by step. but we must begin now.

sasa: the only option is not the united nations credit councils. of course, china and russia, they are still supporting the military generals. it is unacceptable. it is bad for china. it is bad for russians. it is bad for the international community. it is bad for india. it is bad for asia. this chaos created by the military generals, this is not -- nobody benefits from the military chaos and killing. russia will not benefit from this killing, this act of terrorism. no world interests of the military generals. they should come together. otherwise, they risk thfuture where they will witness the weapon that they gave has been used to kill and commit crime against humanity, atrocity, and ethnic cleansing and genocide. that will be the time when this country will be blamed. history will judge them harshly if they don't stop supporting the military generals. of course, we will be asking again the united nations council to call on a vote. if my country votes in favor of resolution, it must go to the u.n. general assembly. the u.n. general assembly has th
