... to those who will learn, this further lesson:

that until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned;
that until there are no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation;
that until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes;
that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race;
that until that day,
the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality
will remain but a fleeting illusion,
to be pursued
but never attained.
— Haile Selassie's address to the United Nations
