S/1955/PV.552 Security Council

What 1 am about to say is said as the representative Government which profoundly believes in the desirabilityof admittingnew Members to the United Nations. With that in mind, and with the very great respect that 1 have for the President, 1 must say that 1 do share his belief that the definite purpose of this resolution, or our definite obHgation here, is to effect to whatever the General Assembly may voted. We certainly have the obligation to give tremendous weight and very respectful consideration, but certainly we cannot contend that the General Assembly h:.3 the right to bind the Security Council any more than the Council has the right to bind Assembly; they are autonomous organs. résotni de lant, araît très érés, pro- 1 :rons noUS isant é de J'est Inseil i7 et rs de I, en 12. To my mind, the draft resolution introduced Brazil and New Zealand has as its primary purpose provide an orderly method of voting and an orderly procedure for consideriilg these questions, and it 14. The United States bas always countries, in accordance with this sentiment, and we continue to feel that were divided only because of the aggressive against them by Others should not membership by virtue of that illegal division. 15. In addition 10 the view that 1 about Viet-Nam, 1 should like to say that of Korea must always have a special place United Nations. 16. The Republic of Korea not only and of itself, but it is also a great symbol of the free world 10 take collective action aggression, IOmething which wu deliberately voted by the United NatioDi and which 6rst time in human history that an repelled by collective military aetion under of an international organization. In tbàt struggle, which involved more than of Korea, that small country contributed ail the men in the forward zone, which fighting and the dying took place. 1 do any member of this body goes outside of in offering an amendment similar to that Republic of China.

course, true that the General Assembly 8 December speaks of those countries problem of unification arises, and 1 agree in this Council should pay the utmost indication of wishes on the part of the General 1 have already said that more than once. 18. 1 have also severa! times remarked rity Council is master of its own judgements. That must be 50, and it to me in any way out of line with the of these two organs of the United Nations in the Security Council shoul decide to consider an amendment adding the Korea and the Republic of Viet-Nam of applicant countries. 1 may reca1l that outstanding a resolution of the .General '['e~olution 817 (IX)] asking the SccurityCouncil consider the pending applications for membership, 20. But my Government does eonsider them to he fully qualified. We have diplomatic relations with bath of them. We voted for each of them hefore and, sinee this issue has now heen put ID us, we intend to vote for them now. 21. 1 should add that, in voting for the Republic of Viet-Nam, 1 consider that 1 am not in any way prejudicing the successful outcome of the arrangements agreed at Geneva in 1954. As is weIl knO\\'Il, Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom 15 closely concerned with the position resuIting from the Geneva discussions of last year and with the efforts to achieve the unification of the territory. In voting for Viet-Nam, 1 do not eonsider that 1 am in any way expressing a view in eonfliet with our general poliey, which aims at unification. 22. Mr. TSIAJ.'iG (China): 1 wish to thank the President for the friendly spirit and the very eomplimentary terms of his appeal. 23. The claims of the Republie of Korea and the Republic of Viet-Nam to membership in the United Nations have aIready b€en well explained by me in the Ad Hoc Politica1 Committee [26th meeting] and they have just been well explained here by the repr€!entatives of the United States and the United Kingdom. 1 shall not take the time of this Couneil, therefore, ta enlarge on that point. 24. 1 wish onIy to call the attention of this Council, and of the President in particular, to the fact that the list of eighteen includes a country which was an aggressor in Korea, namely, Outer Mongolia. And the President today appeals to me to exclude from our considerations two countries which have heen the vietims of that aggression. This is a difficult moment for me and a very important moment for me. In replying to the President, 1 have to faU back on the words of a great historical figure in European history, "lch kann nicht anders "-" 1 cannot do otherwise".

It was the French Government which, on 17 Deeemher 1951, proposed the admission of the Republic of Viet-Nam to the United Nations. The Couneil is aware of the long-standing bonds between France and Viet-Nam; and it knows, as 1 said earlier, that France will vote in favour of the admission of the Republic of Viet-Nam. 26. 1 agree with Sir Pierson Di.",on that the position wc adopt in this matter in no way affects the 28. 1 think that our position is clear. of an amendment to a draft resolution rity Couneil. The Couneil is entitled amendments 10 draft resolutions before upon them, even though such drafts previously accepted by the Assembly. conforming fully wi~ the letter and Charter if we vote on the amendment Chinese delegation, country by country, Republic of Viet-Nam and for the Republic

delegation deems it necessary to point attempt is heing made in the Council from settling the main problem-namely, sideration of t..~e General Assem.bly's 8 December 1955. As saon as a ray of and the way was cleared for the Couneil approve the proposai made by New Brazll, a new amendment immediately though out of a conjurer's hat. The amendment is quite cIear and can he single word-to obstruct a decision Couneil. That is how it must he understood. 30. This is not of course an amendment sense of the word. It is a completëly which radically alters the meaning of the by Brazil and New Zealand. 1 heIieve clear to everyone, however inexperienced, following our work. 1 repeat that cannot he regarded otherwise than as obstruct a deeision by the Security Couneil. 31. 1 need only add that the Soviet no reason to reply to the slanderous regarding the Mongolian People's Republic by a person who is illegally occupying at the Security Couneil table. ActuaUy, was to he expected from a person whose even hours, in the United Nations are 32. The Soviet delegation objects to the in document S/3506 and will vote against

1 think we are now in a position to proceed to a vote on the draft re.;olution presented by Brazil and New Zealand [8/3502]. 1 propose to put it to the Council paragraph by paragraph, as 1 indicated earlier. That means that 1 propose fust to put to the vote the fust paragraph, ending with the word "arises"; then the words .. Havîng considered separately the applications for membership of" ; û~en the amendment submitteà by the representative of China [8/3506], adding the applications of the Republic of Korea and the Republic of Viet-Nam, which applications will he put separately, of course; then the applications of the countries named in the joint draft resolution separately; and then the last paragraph..

The President said that he intended to put to the vote the amendment in document S/3506 before t.'te voting on aIl the States enumerated in the joint draft resolution. This is quite incomprehensible and inexplicable. Why is this step necessary? 36. Rule 36 of the ruIes of procedure plainly states that "when an amendment adds to or deletes from the text of a motion or draft resolution, that amendment shall be voted on fust". That means that it is voted on fust in relation to the whole draft resolution. 37. The amendment proposed in document S/3506 provides for the addition of new States to the eighteen enumerated in the draft resolution. It would be normal and logical and, moreover, correct, to vote on those new States after the eighteen listed in the draft resolution, because the question is one of an addition to the list of States. Why and on what grounds is it proposed that they should be placed at the head of the liat? What is happening here? Could we not have an explanation? 38. The Soviet delegation requests the President to put this amendment to the vote after the Council bas votéd on the second paragraph of the draft resolution, that is :to say, after the enumeration of aIl eighteen States, ending with Laos and Spain.

1 have say. No doubt the decision the President is the only possible decision for solving As for the order of the filing of concerns the final listings. . When 'we nicate the list to the .Genera! Assembly, tion may be heeded or it may not fur as the voting is concerned, it has that order of the filing of applications.

1 have, of course, càre and, respect to·the observations made sentative' of the Soviet' Union.. 1 must adhere to my ruling:. l have

This is a procedural suggestion, and it is somewhat unorthodox. 1 am prepared, when 1 reach the appropriate stage and with the consent of the Council, to put the Soviet proposaI, which is really in the nature of an amendment, to the Council, and the Council cao vote on it. But 1 think that on the whole, it would be far better for me to adhere to the ruling l have made. 4-7. Mr. SOBOLEV (Union of Soviet Socialist Repub!ics) (.trar.s!::ted tram Russiiiii.): 1 am afraid that the President bas not interpreted my proposaI correctIy. 1 did not propose that South Korea and South Viet- Nam should he added to the list; that is not my proposaI at aIl. My proposai bears merely on the time at which a vote should be taken on the countries which it proposed should he added ta the list; my procedural proposai is to the effect that the vote on these additional countries should he takcn in the same chronological order as the vote on all eighteen countries. That is ail.

This is a procedural proposaI, and 1 think that it would save time if 1 put·it to the Council at once. A vote was taken by show of hands. ln favour: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

explanation of vote, 1 should like to say that my gation voted for aIl the eighteen countries listed draft resolution. Wc thus went, as we had promised, to the utmost limit of benevolence in our vote five countries-Albania, Outer Mongolia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Rumania-about which we had vations. But others did not exercise the same ance. We had therefore no choice but to abstain the paragraph as a whole.

What happened today in the Security Council should aU membets of the Cotincil and of the General Assembly consider seriously wRn it is that want.'> who it is that dcies want the problem :ialistes uveUe- 81.. The General Assembly decided admission of aIl eighteen States That was the understanding in the As the voting shows, that is the understanding majority of the members of the Security 82. As regards the position of the were and are in fayour of admitting without exception and without discrimination. members of the Security Council :Assembly are familiar with this position, expression in the eighteen draft submitted to the Council. The submittëd eighteen draft resolutions admission of eighteen States [8/3484 That means that it is ready to vote alleighteen States, as the whole world 83. But wbat bas bappened thwarted the wish of the General Assembly of aIl the peoples of the world? -84: .Yûty~two Members of the General for the admission of the eighteen States, Security Council, one person set will of the whole General As.'lCl1lblyand in the Security Council and demolished up with great patience'and effort Members of the United Nations. 85. The bitter irony of the situation that the solution of the problem Dew membeD to the United Nations a person who represents no one '&cmity Council. Both the Security û-eneral Assembly must thetefore to wbat is to he done now about this are we to conduct the business of how are we to solve 'wcighty intematioDal facing the Security Council, when senting no one but himself is able to the General Assembly? 86. There is ooly one reason why and why this could bappen, ana it secret who is backing this person w.ho but hVaJself. 87. Everyone isaware of the groundwork preparatory C8D1paign carried out 'repraentatïves both in the General Security . Council to prevent the Members to the United Nations this 89. 1 would urge the members of the Council to ponder this situation. 90. The Soviet Union, which is in favour of solving the problem of the admission of new Members without any discrimination towards any one State, will continue to work for a solution of this problem, a solution which will he in confonnity with the desire, will and hope of the overwhelming majority of Member States. That will was clearly expressed in the General Assembly resolunon of 8 December.

The remarks of the Soviet representative are as inaccurate as they are un('.alled for, and that is saying quite a good deal. When he says that we should ponder weIl as to who wants and who does not want a solution of the membership question, 1 echo him. That is the ooly respect in which 1 do, because a candid pondering of this situation and a careful examination of the facts cao leave no fair-minded persac in doubt as to where the responsibilîty lies. 92. Mr. Sobolev said that the attitude of the Soviet Union was weil known. Indeed, it was very weil known. There are many things that are weIl known; we know them, but we do not like them. The salient feature of the attitude of the Soviet Union was an attitude of: "Take it or leave h. Either we have every single thing that we want or else we do not play." 93. It is perfectIy clear that today we could have had seventeen nations admitted to tbe United Nations if it had not been for the Soviet Union. We could have had Albania, Jordan, Ireland, Portugal, Hungary, Italy" Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Ceylon, Nepal, Libya, Cambodia, Japan, Laos and Spain. But the Soviet representative insisted on having aH or nothing. 94. As 1 said at the 31st meeting of the Ad Hoc Political COmmittee, if there is never to be any spirit of compromise, any spirit of accommodation, any giveand-take, we cannot operate the United Nations. If everybody comes here with absolutely rigid positions, we will then have nothing but a piace fQr a series of head-on collisions, and there would he no point in having a United Nations. You would like to have everything your own way; 1 would like to have every- 96. Then the Soviet representaùve stale old smear that the United behing this whole thing. He talked paratory campaign' of the United every man in this room knows the no campaign: you cannat find a sign 97. There are fifty-two votes recorded Assembly on a position different United States; and that is not a States made much of a campaign. 98. When you look at the Vandenberg which passed the Senate in 1948, in both poIitical parties in the United record in favour of never using the .questions, and when you look at United States representative has never membership questions, YOIl can see United States has never sought situation but has contented itself simply position, that it favoured the thirteen would abstain on the five satellite 99. When you sec that there have all afternoon for the satellites-vote in were nine votes for the satellites-that clearly that no effort was made by l'Ise to organize votes against the satellites. it wouId be only fair for the Soviet recognizc that facto 100. The truth of the matter is that in the type of thinking of which the speaks, the idea of peoples being of small nations and big nations being respecting l'ach other's sovereignty-all are concepts which he simply cannot the idea of the strong and the weak the servant. Those are ideas, of directIy contrary ta evl'rything tIlat country, because we have been a small of our national existence. We are 103.. 'Mr. TSIANG (China): 1 could easlly reply to the representative of the Soviet Union in tones and wards such as he used in regard to me. 1 will refrain {rom doing that. It is not up to our Chinese conception of dignity. decorum and politeness. If 1 should reply 10 him in similar vein, my fellow countrymen might wonder how it had happened that l, aiter eight years of service in the United Nations, should suddenly have turned into a barbarian. lO·t The responsibility for our failure is clear; we ncccl only look at the records of the General Assembly and of the Security Council. The Soviet representative professes tllat he and bis Government wish to have this problem solved. But the way he goes about solving the problem is to cast fifteen vetoes against fifteen. frce, independent and worthy nations. The real trouble is this dictatorial stand of "eighteen or none ". 1 think that aIlMembers of the United Nations must realize that that stand of "eighteen or none" is contrary to Article 4 of the Charter as interpreted by the International Court of Justice. 2 105. A Memher of the United Nations, an important Memher at that, persistently violates the Charter. That is our problem. How are we going to deal with that Member, how are we going to call it to account for the violation of the Charter? Once we solve that problem, 1 am sure that the problem of the admission of new Members will he solved quickty and smoothly.

As no other representative desires to explain hia vote, 1 should llke, as the repre· sentative of NEW ZEALAND, to explain my vote. 107 My delegation deeply regrets the failure pf 'the draft resolution of New Zealand and Bruil.

The United States representative's statement shows that he is trying to evade the responsibility for what bas happened in the Security Council and is trying to accuse the innocent party in order to whitewash, the guilty one. The IeIlponsibility Is indeed a heavy one, but it will he difticult fqr him to evade it hecause the entire Assembly and the entire world have followed the preparations made for thé consideration of the General Assembly resolution here in the Security Co~cil. 120. Mr. Lodge stated that neither the representative BOr the delegation of the United States had conducted a can;tpaign against the admission of aU· eighteen countrles, and that they had not 'soogbt tothwart the will of the majority' in the' General Assembly.
