Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.705 Dec. 14, 1955

This is by way of an addition to my remarks a few moments ago ~hen 1 said tbat 1 thought tbat there was a distinction to be drawn-or words to that effect- between the resolution which we adopted this aftemoon and the draft resolution submitted by the delegation of the United States. . ~"it de lire …

Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.705 Dec. 14, 1955

1 support the proposaI of the representative of the United States to add the name of Japan as an amendment. 1 avions 'Organi. 'ant tout lie avait 8/3499]. ue, pour ssion du

Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.702 Dec. 10, 1955

1 am quite prepared to agree" that the procedure which we adopt today should be one which would give aIl concerned a sense of security, as part of the process most conducive to the admission of the applicants for membership. 64. The representative of the Soviet Union has asked us to explain what ar…

Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.701 Dec. 10, 1955

This is an important moment in the life of the United Nations. The Security Council has, of course, considered the question of new Members before, but this time it does so in the immediate knowledge of the resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 8 December 1955 [A/RES/357]. In this resolution,…

Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.704 Nov. 29, 1954

The negative votes which have just been cast have struck a crushing blow ~t our high hopes. My Government has throughout this session continued to hope that at !~ng Jast the deadlock on new admissions was to he broken. , 'This bas ,been our oÎ1ly aim in this matter, 109. Il se peut que pour le mom…

Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.704 Nov. 29, 1954

On an explanation of vote, 1 should like to say that my dele- gation voted for aIl the eighteen countries listed in the draft resolution. Wc thus went, as we had promised, to the utmost limit of benevolence in our vote on the five countries-Albania, Outer Mongolia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Rumania-abou…

Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.704 Nov. 29, 1954

lt is, of course, true that the General Assembly resolution of 8 December speaks of those countries about which no problem of unification arises, and 1 agree that we here in this Council should pay the utmost respect to an indication of wishes on the part of the General Assembly. 1 have already said…

Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.674 June 18, 1954

Not for the first time 1 detected in the speech of the represen- tative of the Soviet Union a dichotomy in the mind process. There were, it seemed to me, a series of contradictions in his speech. 61. The representative of the Soviet Union first argued that the question of re-esta:blishing peace in I…

Les craintes que ressent le Gouvernement thaïlandais sont, dans les circonstances actuelles, par- faitement naturelles et compréhensibles. Compte tenu des obligations que le Gouvernement thaïlandais a assumées aux termes de la Charte des Nations Unies, sa décision d'attirer l'attention du Conseil de…

Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.668 April 27, 1954

Je voudrais faire une ,proposition de caractère constructif dans l'espoir qu'elle nous aidera à adopter notre ordre du jour et que nous pourrons ainsi com- mencer la discussion. Je propose que nous ajoutions au point 2 de l'ordre du jour provisoire qui figure dans le document SIAgenda/668 un troisiè…

Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.666 April 12, 1954

~Jous discutons toujours l'adoption de l'ordre du j9ur. Lorsque j'ai pris la parole à ce sujet au cours de la dernière 'séance, le Président m'a rappelé à l'ordre et m'a demandé de m'en tenir plus strictement aux questions de procédure. J'ai fait alors . remarquer que la ligne de démarcation entre l…

Sir Pierson DIXON S/PV.662 March 23, 1954

We have not got very far today with our discussion of the New Zealand draft resolution, and 1 should have thought that it would be better to leave a rather shorter interval for the resumption of our discussion of that question. l, myself, should have a decided preference for continuing the discussio…

Sir Gladwyn JEBB S/PV.657 Feb. 4, 1954

This is a point of order which is also, I think, Cl point of clarification before we vote, because I think that it is rather important to know exactly what it is we are voting on. 92. As I understand it, •~e representative of the United States, in submitting what is now an amend- ment, said that he…

Sir Gladwyn JEBB S/PV.657 Feb. 4, 1954

Je n'ai pas la moindre intention de me montrer déraisonnable en l'occurrence. Je reconnais volontiers que, si le Conseil le désire, il peut modifier l'ordre du jour provisoire dans le sens indiqué par le représentant du Liban. Si le Conseil en décidait ainsi, je ne m'en offusquerais certainement pas…

Sir Gladwyn JEBB S/PV.657 Feb. 4, 1954

1 cer- tainly do not want to be unreasonable in any way in this matter. 1 quite agree that it would be possible for the Council, if it so wished, to amend the present provisional agenda in the way desired by the represen- tative of Lebanon, and 1 may say that if the Couneil did so jecide there would…

Sir Gladwyn JBBB S/PV.657 Feb. 4, 1954

Nous sommes saisis, sous la cote S/Agenda 657, de l'ordre du jour provisoire du Conseil. Nous devons examiner un mémoire explicatif présenté par la délégation d'Israël [S/3168/Add.l] et une lettre du représentant de l'Egypte, publiée sous la cote 5/3172 en date du 3 février 1954. Dans cette lettre, …

Sir Gladwyn JEBB S/PV.657 Feb. 4, 1954

We have before us the proposed agenda, document SIAgenda/ 657. We also have an explanatory memorandum [SI 3168/Add. 1] submitted by the delegation of Israel, and, in document S/3172, dated 3 February 1954, we have a letter from the representative of Egypt. In this letter, the representative of Egypt…

Sir Gladwyn JEBB S/PV.656 Jan. 22, 1954

En ce qui me concerne, il s'agit également d'une motion d'ordre; cependant, je cède volontiers la plac.e au représentant du Liban. 109. M. Charles MALIK (Liban) (irad1{,it de l'an- glais) : Il ne m'apparaît pas, à la lecture de l'article 32 du règlement intérieur, que le Président soit tenu d'in- vi…

Sir Gladwyn JEBB S/PV.656 Jan. 22, 1954

With reference to the statement just made ·by the representa- tive of Lehanon, 1 may say that, whether or not the Acting President had himse1f rnised the question, it had been my intention - for reasons which 1 shall state - to do so before the vote was taken. Perhaps, there- fore, that particular p…

Sir Gladwyn JEBB S/PV.655 Jan. 21, 1954

l quite see the point made by the Acting President, and 1 cer- tainly would not want to contravene any rules of proce- dure. But since the representative of Lebanon has in fact just read out the draft resolution which he would like ta have voted on should the joint draft resolution 2 Subsequently i…
