At the very outset of the World Organization, Ralph Bunche, a renowned American political scientist and diplomat, a leading civil rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate for his mediation in Israel in

Bunche, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who stated: “The United Nations exists not merely to preserve the peace but also to make change — even radical chang

In particular, I wish to place on record the high appreciation of the Government and people of Jamaica to Dr. Ralph Bunche, who, for the first time that I can recall in these many years, is not with us in this hall.

Neither shall I place before the Assembly a whole file of extracts from the reports of the United Nations Mediator, Count Bernadotte, of Mr. Bunche or of the Palestine Conciliation Commission — all of which disclose Israel's defiance and refusal to abide by the United Nations resolutions, a defia

I am referring to the announcement published this morning that the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Mr. Ralph Bunche, a distinguished member of the United Nations Secretariat, who was the mediator in the Palestine conflict. My delegation would like to congratulate M

The lesson of the past year had been concisely expressed by Mr. Bunche to the Security Council when he had stated that "once the parties could be brought together, they could, with United Nations assistance, be led to re
