A/45/PV.23 General Assembly

I DOW call on the ~epresentative of India, who wishes to speak a second time in exercise of the riqht of reply. This intervention is limited to five minutes. Mr. JAIN (India): The hour is late, and my deleqation does not wish to enqaqe in an avoidable and prolonqed debate with the deleqation of Pakistan. I want only to state that history CPDDot be altered by the endless repetition of untruths. Nor can it alter the facts of this mati;er, which are well known and well established. We hope that Pakistan will abandon its chosen course - incitinq violence, aiding and ahettinq terrorism and interferinq in the internal affairs of other States - in favour of established norms of international relations.

I call on the representative of Afghanistan, who wishes to speak a second time in ezercise of the right of reply. This intervention is limited to five minutes. Mr. ROSW-IAWW (Afghanistan) I At the beqinniDq of my first statement in ezerc1se of the right of reply I sald that i,t was too late for representatives of the military circlem of Pakistan to hide the fact that they are interfering aggressively in the internal affairs of Afghanistan. In the course of the Pakistani representative's second statement in ezercise of the right of reply we did not hear anything fresh in denial of that. Be did not answer my questions concerning where the rockets come from, where all these terrorists are trained, and why fiqhtinq is confined to three provinc.es bordering Pakistan. Re said that he would not repeat what he had sald in his previous intervention in exercise of the right of reply. For that i have to give him credit. As a w1se man, he realises that repetition of a false statement does not make it true. %hI PRESIDENT: I call now on the representative of Saudi Arabia, who w1shell to speak a second time in exercise of the right of reply. nis intervention ia limited to five minutes. Mr. SRlBABI (Saudi Arabia) (interpretation from Arabic): I do not want to te.ke up too much of the Assembly's time. However, it appears that the Iraqi delegation have several statements - a statement for each situation, to he pulled out at a momeD~'s notice to impress us. Tho Iraqi representative insi~~s on referring to the multilateral forces that were invited into the area by the Gulf Co-operation Council as occupation forces. Let him read the appropriate Article of the Charter. This is a multinational force drawn from 26 States and invited into the region ~y the countries concerned as a result of an Iraqi adventure in Kuwait - an adventure that hall not yet come to an end. Let us hope that the Iraqi rcigime will learn how to deal with reality, how to deal with the facts, how to be honest and open. Perhaps it could have saved itself this adventure from the beginning. Perhaps it could heve saved us the need to call our friends and hrethren to our side at a timo of ham. Perhaps ,it could have saved the world thia tragedy. I believe that if the tragedy im allowed to continue, it will take um back to the middle ages. (Hr P &hihilbi.
