Consider, for instance, the session of Autumn 1963 in which the South African system was seen by the United States Government as 'toxic,' by the Soviet Union as 'shameful,' by England as 'abhorrent,' by Belgium as 'thoroughly repugnant,' by India as 'hateful,' by Guinea as 'inhuman,' by Bolivia as 'the negation of all social purpose,' by Japan as 'fundamentally immoral,' by Canada as 'degrading,' by Algeria as 'cancerous,' and by Tanzania as 'a catalyst of violence.'
