| Haile Selassie the First - September 18, 1961 |
We have been inexpressibly saddened and shocked by the tragic event
which has claimed the life of the Secretary General of the United Nations
Organization and his companions today. Once again death has stretched
out its hand and snatched from our midst a statesman who could ill be
spared in these troubled days. To his family and those of his entourage,
We extend Our deepest condolences. His Excellency Mr. Dag
Hammarskjoeld served as Secretary General of the United Nations for
seven years. Throughout the entire period of his service he acted with
honesty and integrity as a devoted and selfless international public servant
in pursuance of the ideals of peace and the advancement of mankind
which are the United Nations stated goals. He died fulfilling his duty to
this organization and to all of us. As We mourn his untimely passing We
hope that his tragic death will inspire us all to redouble our efforts to
ensure the continued effectiveness of this institution as the guardian of the
peace and the protector of the dignity of man.
