John Foster Dulles: Address to the United Nations on the Suez Crisis

( 1956 ) Commentary by G. Mehera Gerardo, Youngstown State University
  • “I have said and deeply believe that peace is a coin which has two sides—one of which is the avoidance of the use of force and the other is the creation of conditions of justice—and in the long run you cannot expect one without the other.” - Address to the United Nations on the Suez Crisis
  • “We thought when we wrote the Charter in San Francisco in 1945 that we had seen perhaps the worst in war, that our task was to prevent a recurrence of what had been, and indeed what then had been was tragic enough. But now we know that what can be will be infinitely more tragic than what we saw in World War II.” - Address to the United Nations on the Suez Crisis
