Mr. Loridan S/PV.942 Feb. 21, 1961

1 have asked for the floor inorder to make a very brief statement which my Government would like the Security Council to put on record. 237. My Government has just reiterated most solemnly, both in the ParUament and in public state- ments, its condemnation of political assassination as something whi…

Mr. Loridan S/PV.932 Feb. 7, 1961

The Soviet representative is surprised by my statement, but 1 must say that 1 am amazed at his surprise. AH the time he is accusing Belgium of directing aH the affairs of Katanga and he is making the sarne accusation against the Belgian citizens who', according to him, exercise the real authority th…

Mr. De Thier S/PV.905 Sept. 16, 1960

Thank you, Mr. President, for giving me this opportunity to speak. 146. I asked to be heard in order to reply to the criticisms levelled at Belgium in the course of this debate. The Yugoslav delegation, in its statement on 9 September, said that ilthe aggression of the Belgian troops against the Re…

Mr. Wigny S/PV.879 July 22, 1960

I could make a good many comments on the final remarks of the representative of the Congo. I shall, however, confine myself to two or three observations. 142. The representative of the Congo based his re- marks on certain facts which are on the sensational side. I presume he has gathered his inform…

Mr. Wigny S/PV.877 July 21, 1960

I must say that the statement just rlelivered was quite surprising and something I did not expect. Some of the Congolese representative's remarks were certainly moving, but I failed to grasp the main line of bis argument. He began by referring to the excellent recollection the Congolese people have …

Mr. Van Langeni-Iove S/PV.746 Oct. 28, 1956

The events in Hungary have roused strong feelin:qs throughout the world. Eye- witnesses have descrlhecl the harrowing scenes which have accurred in the streets of Budapest and over wide areas of the country: the merciless shooting clown Of unarmed demonstrators, followed by desperate battles against…

Mr. Nisot S/PV.723 May 29, 1956

The Belgian delegation shares in the universally favour- able reaction created by the way in wich the Secre- tary-General has carried out the mission entrusted to him by the Security Council. The report before us [8/3596] is proof of Mr. Hammarskjold's experience, of his capacity to draw distinction…

Mr. Van Langenhove S/PV.71 Jan. 12, 1956

Before an opinion cao he formed on the operation of Il Decemœr, it must be placed in its context and the reasons given for it must he examÏn- ed. Several representatives have already done so, and 1 can accordingly he brief. 59. For several years, there have been exchanges of tire between both shore…

Mr. Van Langenhove S/PV.700 Dec. 15, 1955

The Belgian delegation's position on tlle admission of Japan has long hèen known, and there is no need for me to reiterate it. As the representative of New Zealand, the President has objected to the United States proposai on the grounds of legality. Without associating myself with that objection, 1 …

Mr. Van Langenhove S/PV.702 Dec. 10, 1955

The Belgian delegation clearly explained . its legal position in the Ad Hoc Political Committee [32nd meeting]. 29. As long ago as 1947, my delegation maintained in the Security Council that each application for admission sh~uld he considered and voted upon separately. Its interpretation of the wor…
