...idea that no state or group of states has the right to interfere directly or indirectly in the internal affairs of another state -- is essential legally and diplomatically to every program of hemispheric co-operation. It is stated clearly in Article 15 of the Charter of Bogota, the basic document of policy for the Americas, and it was repeated by nearly every speaker at the Rio Conference. Although the ministers tactfully buried a resolution sponsored by Colombia condemning "a military armed intervention this year in the Dominican Republic", they left no doubt of their dissatisfaction with American policy...

Italian Bishop Luigi Carli of Segni, one of the council's most outspoken conservatives, has submitted a host of amendments seeking to emphasize the truth of Catholic thinking and the error of other views.
