Once again, the General Assembly discusses the
When we speak of the tragedy of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we speak of a tragedy that has two facets, one of which is humanitarian while the other is political. On the humanitarian level, the reports we continue to receive describe the atrocious human suf…
I should like to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council this month. We are quite sure that, thanks to your competence and wisdom, you will conduct the Council’s proceedings successfully.
Our thanks go also to your predecessor for the successful manner in…
Allow me at the outset to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month and to express the confidence of my delegation in your ability, wisdom and sound leadership. These give us hope that this discussion will lead to serious decisions which will …
This is the third session in a row at which the General Assembly has remained seized of the issue of the continuing Serbian aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina, a Member State of the United Nations. The Serbian aggression, however, has only intensified in brutality and expanded in scope. The S…
As this is my first address to the General Assembly during its forty-eighth session, I should like to express to Mr.
I should like also to take this opportunity to express my delegation’s sincere thanks and deep appreciation to Mr. Insanally’s predecessor, Mr. Stoyan Ganev, for his able stewardship…
At the outset, I would like to thank the Secretary-General, for his valuable reports to the Assembly. I should also like to thank the Chairman and the members of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. I wish to thank, too, the Chairman and members of the S…
Allow me, Sir, to extend to you my warmest congratulations on your unanimous election as Presi- dent of the General Assembly. I am certain that your wide experience in international affairs and your commitment to the principles of justice and peace will ensure the success of this session. 2. I also …
I still insist, Mr. Presi- dent-and I think that I am speaking properly and in ac- cordance with the accepted norms of the United Nations in saying this-that every State should be called by its universally recognized name. Anything else would be a distortion.
32. I have no desire whatsoever to inte…
It is against the rules and regulations of our United Nations for any representative to misname a country, not to use the proper, legal name of the country to which he refers. The representative of Is- rael should know, if he does not, that the nam~ of Jo]d'!.l! is the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, a…
The representative of Is- rael is not entitled, under the rules and regulations which govern cie!iberations of United Nations bodies, to mis- name a point of order a "po.int of disorder". He should call it what it is, what it is .legally and universally ac- cepted to be-a point of order. I hope, Mr.…
I would request the Presi- dent to ask the Israeli representative to {:all Jordan by its official name recognized by the United Nations since its admission in 1955. The name of Jordan is the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and that was its name before the par- tition of Palestine and before there was a…
I have no intention of re- peating the substantive debate on the question of Pal- estine, which has been exhaustively discussed. The Israeli statement is at best redundant and at worst a defiance of the consensus of the community of nations. •
82. If the Israeli representative sheds crocodile tears…
On 29 November 1947 the General Assembly, in its then minority composition of Member States represented at the United Nations, decided at a special session to dismember the "trust" territory of Palestine and to dismantle its peace-loving people. I am referring to the real and genuine Palestine and n…
A little while ago the Israeli representative explained his vote in a very impudent and rude way, defying world opinion and attempting to im- pose his aggressive ideas on Member States. Furthermore, he analysed in his own way the attitude of the Member Stafes that voted in favour of the draft resolu…
Mr. President, I think I am expressing the .opinion of my colleagues in the group of Arab States when I say that we have listened with great attention to the thorough and most interesting report which you have submitted this afternoon, at the end of this thirty- fifth session. concerning the 'progre…
On a point of order, I believe that the President has ruled that we suourd stick to eplaining our votes before the voting and not exercise the right of reply-which is the right of every representative at the appropriate moment.
273. But the representative of Israel should not take the occasion of e…
May I request the President to rule the representative of Israel out of order for misnaming my country, which is the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The name he used is a travesty of the official name of the Hashemite King- dom of Jordan that is accepted in the records of the United Nations. Whatever h…
I wish to make a statement of two closely correlated components: the first, a point of order, and the second an explanation of my vote before the vote.
237. I find myself compelled to make some comments on what all of us should regard as extremely ominous functional aberrations which affect the ver…
My delegation voted in favour of draft resolu- tion 11 but, had operative paragraph 1 been put to a separate vote, we would have abstained, as we did in the Second Committee.
131, Mr. OULD SID' AHMED (Mauritania) (inter- pretation from Arabic): Had there been a separate vote on operative paragraph …
I do not believe that it would be fair to this Assembly for me to reply to the representative of Israel's irrelevancies and diversionary tactics.
168. Whether Mr. Shaka'a was detained or not and for whatever reason, let the representative of Israel remember that at that time both the East Bank and …
