Inasmuch as we rod not submit any amendment and inasmuch as we could do
71. I have found out that to a large extent the bankers-are entrusted with these funds. Let me say that bankers in every country are money brokers in the sense that they make money, their commission, from the lender or the borr…
Sinet; 1947 I have been addressing myself to the subject of Palestine and the political incursions of the Khazars into that land. In fact, it was in 1947 that we witnessed the exertion of pressure, especially by the central and eastern European Jews, in order to ensure the partition of the land of P…
Before introducing draft resolution A/33/L.5, I wish to express thankS and deep gratitude-and I am sure I am speaking on behalf of all the members of the General Assembly in doing so-to a most distinguished scientist from Sweden, Mr. Sicvard Eidund, who has just given us a comprehensive report of th…
I wish to deal with this question seriously and to take precedent into account. I shall not go into the pros and cons that lulve been adduced here for one country or the other.
32. Therehave been several precedents; some were resolved quietly and other semi-quietly, but now we are trying to solve t…
As an old timer who has watched the work in the Second Committee for many years, I find it is my duty to be candid with this Organization. With all dui,; C"espect for the report that we have just heard from the representative ofJamaica and any of the statements that have been made on behalf of certa…
Yesterday [78th meeting} I was given the opportunity to give this Assembly a resume of the historical background of the Middle East situation, which indeed has bedevilled the United Nations for the last three decades. I took the liberty of pointing out that zionism has been used by European Jews as …
I want to start my statement by thanking the Secretary-General for one of the most concise and, I should say, pithy reports about the situation in the Middle East [A/32/24o-S/12417 and Add.i]. In two and a half pages or so he is confronting us with what amounts to a deadlock. Of course, it is writte…
I am still speaking on the amendments lest a distorted impression be unwit- tingly created by the interpretation of them given by the representative of Sri Lanka. These are, after all, amend- ments-especially the second .mtendment-that I did not write until after I had given deep thought to the impl…
Indeed, Sir, you are very understanding and very generous. All of us are under the pressure of work here. But that should not prevent us from scrutinizing texts to see whether they can bring about a solution.
145. I thought that this draft resolution, with all due respect to its sponsors, would exa…
First of all, I asked to speak on a point of order in order to tell you what happened. I must state that I checked with Mr. Gazarian, who is an old hand here, and asked him whether the list of speakers was exhausted. He said there were one or two speakers, but not in explanation ofvote. I said, "Ple…
Sir, I had asked to take th~ floor to ~ntroduce a few oral amendments before the explanations ·,of vote. I think, Mr. President, that Mr. Buffum, who id sitting on your left-hand side, has apprised you of this. Any submission of amendments precedes expv.dUltions ofvote.
136. Now I do not consult wi…
I do not think the difficulty is insurmountable. I must refer to what my colleague from the United Kingdom mentioned in the General Committee: that if we were to indulge in intermi- nable debates in the General Assembly-he did not say that, but I am paraphrasing-we might just as well do away with th…
Thank you, Mr. President, for allowing me to say a few words. Now I wish to address our beloved Secretary-General. As I said and must repeat, we congratulate ourselves on the election of such an illustrious gentleman to a second five-year term. But, indeed, we commiserate with himon the heavy burden…
We are going to vote for the draft resolution because we realize that there is more awareness as a result of the efforts of the freedom- loving States Members of the United Nations to put the Palestine question in its own perspective, and we are heartened that the solution of this intractablequestio…
In view of what Mr. Herzog said at the previous meeting, I feel constrained to call the attention of the Assembly to the genesis of the Palestine question, as I have done time and again. As the hour is late, I shall be as brief as possible, but I hope that I shall be able 'to give the Assembly suffi…
We have just heard the statement of our colleague from Cyprus and have taken into.account all the points which he has adduced. I am sure that he will be good enough to allow me to state that, if the two parties-the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots- were to continue in this manner there could …
I cast my vote on behalf of the country that I represent in favour of the Turkish motion, not for reasons of solidarity, but because I thought it was a reasonable request on the part of Turkey, particularly since the Turkish Cypriots are in the minority in Cyprus and,noblesse oblige, the majority, w…
You are right, Mr. President, when you say that my statement will be made tomorrow, but I could not accept something I could not cope with. I am an .old-tlmer here in this United Nations and I presume others will be confronted with the same difficulties. I asked this morning to see the draft resolut…
