Sir Claude COREA S/PV.911 Dec. 4, 1960

Therearetwopoints on which I should like to make somevery brief obser- vations. 88. The first point concerns the motion on which we voted a few moments ago. which was the motion pro- posed by the representative of Poland. I should like to explain why we abstained on that vote. We were unable to sup…

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.911 Dec. 4, 1960

I am takingthe floor to emphasize this point because I was very glad to hear the statements made by the representatives of Argentina and of France on the question of the inclu- sion of the item regarding the membership of the Mongolian People's Republic. It is quite clear that there is no objectiont…

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.911 Dec. 4, 1960

It seems to my delegation that the procedural issue is a simple one; it is not in any way a complicated issue. 34. We have always had a provisional agenda when the Security Council meets andthatprovisionalagenda contains, at least, the reason why the Security Council is summoned. It may contain one…

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.908 Oct. 7, 1960

The Ceylon delega- tion consi!iers it a great privilege and a high honour to co-sponsor, along with the representatives of the United Kingdom and TUQisia,. the draft resolution before this Council recommending to the General Assembly the admission of the Federation of Nigeria to membership in the Un…

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.907 Sept. 28, 1960

I should lil{e to join the President in cordially welcoming Mr. Leopolclo Benites Vinueza, the new representative of Ecuador.

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.904 Sept. 16, 1960

Mr. President, I thank you for giving me a moment to refer to the statement made by the representative ofthe UnitedStates delega- 85. Je suis heureux de constater que non seulement le representant de Ceylan s'est associe ~ l'idee d'une assistance financi~re ~ la Republique du Congo, mals qu'il cons…

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.899 Sept. 14, 1960

May I appeal to the two representatives who have, for the reasons stated, expressed themselves against the suggestion that t.he representative of Guinea should be permitted to speak at this time on this procedural question, to reconsider their pos·"ons, not from the point ofview of the merit of the …

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.900 Sept. 14, 1960

My Government recognized the Government of the Republic of the Congo as soon as it acquired independence, and as far as my Government is concerned nothing has happened to change that position with respect tothe Government of the Congo. 69. We are well aware of the fact that there have been many dif…

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.900 Sept. 14, 1960

I regret to intervene again, and I wishto saythat I am very much distressed to find myself in disagreement with the point of view put forward by the representative of the United King- dom. But I do wish to make this point. I follow him completely in his observations with regard to the question of pe…

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.896 Sept. 10, 1960

I agree entirelywith my colleague, the representative of Argentina, on the fact that the telegram from the Prime Minister of the Republic of the Congo has been couched in language to which we cannot all subscribe, and!would immediately like to dissociate myself from certain parts ofit. For example, …

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.897 Sept. 10, 1960

In exercise of my right of reply I want just to make a brief comment on the statement made by the Secretary-General a moment ago. I feel that the Secretary-General has misunderstood the statement I made when I spoke a little earlier, and I would like that misunderstanding to be corrected. The Secret…

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.897 Sept. 10, 1960

I asked for the floor in order to speak on the motion which was before the Security Councll a moment ago. I find that the repre- ;, ttive of the Soviet Union, who submitted that ion, has now asked to withdraw it. I would ask the 45. Sir Claude COREA {Ceylan) [traduitdel'anglais]: J'ai demande la pa…

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.892 Aug. 16, 1960

Mr. President, I ;.-ish to associate myself whole heartedly with every- thing you have said about Mr. Lodge, but I should like to add just a few words personally~ I think that we all agree on one thing, and that is that we shall miss Mr. Lodge when he leaves the scene of the United Nations -a scene …

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.892 Aug. 16, 1960

The Security Council, convened at the request ofthe Government ofthe Soviet Union, is engaged in considering what has been de- scribed as "new aggressive acts by the Air Force of the United States of America against the SovietUnion, creating a threat to universal peace". This, as me."·l- bers of the…

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.879 July 22, 1960

According to t.he rules of procedure, it is clear that, when there are two draft resolutions beforethe Council,they are put to the vote in the order of their submission. However, if the Council has no objection, I would propose that the resolution submitted by Ceylon and Tunisia have priority. 107. …

Sir Claude COREA S/PV.879 July 22, 1960

I shouldliketo make one comment onthe draft resolution [S/4404] submitted by the Tunisian delegation and my delegation. I refer to operative paragraph 3, which reads: "Decides to authorize the Secretary-General to continue to take such action as may be necessary under the authority given to him by …

I shall be very brief, very brief indeed, as itis necessary that in the circumstances in which we are me,eting, our deci- sions should be quick and our actions expeditious.
