He address- ed a dinner sponsored by the United Nations Association of the United States, marking the 25th annual United Nations Day. He said it would be helpful if all governments pledged them- selves to extradite all hijackers. Although he again denounced hi- jackings as "lawlessness" and the work of extremists," he did not refer specifically to the Aug. 30 hijackings by Arab' guerrillas nor to the Arabs who engineered the plane seizures. The crime of hijacking, the secretary general said Monday night, "must be brought before an international tribunal defending the interests of all peoples and nations and not of any particular people." If such a panel should be ac- cused of breaching national sov- eregnity, he said his answer would be that "the world has no other choice" and that "nations and people must have the courage to resort to adequate new methods of international law and order " Discussing the work of the UN over 25 years, he commented that "we have failed to pacify two per- sisting and bloody conflicts," an apparent reference to the Middle East and Vietnam.
