S/PV.1227 Security Council

A short whileagotheSecretary- Gsnersl received tvm telegmms fmrn the Secretary General of the Orgardzation of AmericaaStates (OAS). Tlw first transmit8 a protest by General Hugo Peaasco AIvim, Commander of the Inter-American Peace Force, concerning tlze violation of the cesse-fire on 15 and 16 June. Thés communication is in English and will be circulated as soon as possible to members of the Coancll as document W6456.Y T&e second telegram transmits the text of the proposai of the OAS Ad I&x Committee for the solution of the Ihninican xand of that Committee’s declaration to the DanintCan people. Since #e second message is in Spaaish and 1s several pages Ion wilp, UnfOrtunately. tske son% time. it vfiil J?e ctmulated as quickly as possible as document S/6457. LI 3. h connexion witb certain suggestions presented thiS mQming at our meeting, the Secretary-General 5. Tbe question of communications between my representative and the United Nations Headquarters in New York is slso a subjeot under close examination by me, and the competent services are now looking into the possibllity of either ensuring a more reliable link for the transmission of messages from the Domlnlcan Republic through existmg facilities, or, alternatively. the establishment of our own system of communications, which, naturally, would require substantial expendltures. Theparamount consideration is, of course, the need to ensure prompt andundisturbed communication between my representative and tbe United Nations Headquarters here. 6. The provision of a map to tbe members of the Security Council was also mentioned this morning. While it was net clear whether the suggestion referred to a map of the Dominican Republic or to one of the City of Santo Domingo, 1 assume tbat the Council would wish to bave both andIhave taken the necessary steps to bave these maps prepared and circulated to the members of ‘diis Council. For the convenience of the members of the Council, provisional maps of the Dominlcan Republic and of the City of Santo Domingo bave just been distributed to tbe members of tbe Security Council. 1 should also wlsh to draw to the attention of the members of the Council that a map of the City of Santa Domingo appeared in the annex to the report transmitted by the letter dated 12 May 1965, addressed to me by the Assistant Secretary General of the OAS, which was circulated as document S/6364u on 18 May 1965. This map shows. the vssfety zone” and the corridor at the date of iesuance of that report. 7. 1 also wish.to inform the Council that 1 bave requested my representative to report to me on the present deployment of the Inter-American Force in tbe area where tbe fighting took place on 15 and 16 June. Tbls report is expected shortly, and 1 will, of course, circulate it as soonas ithas been received. 8. Tbe PRESIDENT: 1 bave two more speakers on my list to whom 1 should Iike to glve the floor before 10. Tbe flrst is a document entitled ‘Pmposal of .Ad Hoo. Committee for tbe solution of the Do- *, which reads as follows: ad oat i?be text of tbe proposd a.1 11. Together witb this dooument and this appeal there is a Weclaration to tbe Dominican people” agreed to by tbe OAS- Committee whicb 1 sbould also like. to take the liberty of readingto the members

In its last statement [1223rd meeting), my delegatidn tcak ncte witbpleaaure of tbeoptimistic outlookcreated by certain signs and certain statements made by authorised spokesmen of the opposing factions in Sa& D~mingo, wbich opened the possibilily tbat a negotiated settlement of tbe Dominican problem mi be achieved witbin a relatively short tiie. 13. Tbe breaob of tbe cesse-fire in Ssnto Domingo iously jeopardises the cutcome of tlm s made by tbe Secretary-General% Mr. lvlayobre. We bave already re- Ceived a good deal of information on the matter. At tbis stage of the debate, and in spiteof ail the reports available to us. it is still difficulttoestablish responsibility aad to say objectiveIy ch side firedthe fi& simt. Kt is tmt my delegation% intention t.o do 80. It is simply gIad tbat the weapons are once again silent. 15. My delegation therefore considers that the prevlous decisions of the Councll should be implemented, that is to say that the cesse-flre must be observed and that the established positions occupied by each party must be respected. This is how we interpret tbe resolutions of tbe Council. and we believe that where me interests of peace require it, any extension of the safety zone by encroaching upon the zone occupied by either faction should be the subject of peaceful negotiation. As au international force established to maintain order and net, an occupation force, the discipline of the OAS force should be that whlch the Council ordinarily rcquires from its peacekeeplng contingents.

If no other member wishes to speak now, 1 sbould like. in accordance with the request tbat was made tbis morning by tbe representative of Uruguay [1226th meeting, para. 1021, to mention some points of agreement wbich emerge fromour la& round of disxssions, in particular with regard to some concrete suggestions madeby some members. In SO doing, 1 should niake it clear at the outset tbat 1 cari by no means touch upon all the points tbat were raised because, with respect to several points, including some very important issues, there was no unanimity. 1 shall therefore leave those points aside in my summsry. 17. As President, I must limit myself to thoee Comm%e points on which a study of tbe remarks made in tbe debate shows a certain degree of unanimity. se points sxe the following. Firat and foremost, there bas been expressed in Cooncil a deep and general concern about the idents wbichhave and I am sure 1 am 2 councu if 1 con0erned for a strict observance of tbe cesse-fire in tbe Dominican Republic in acoordatme wltb Seourity Coun0ll resolutions 203 (1965) and 205 (1965), of 14 sud 22 May 1965. 19. In the second place, tbe members of the Council bave unanimously expressed tbe opinion that the representative of the Secretary-General is, in the words used a few days ago by the representative of France: “performing his dlfficult task witb a tact, a spirit of initiative and an impartiality tbat are particularly praiseworthy” [1221st meeting. para. 621. Perbaps I may, on behalf of the Counoil. ask the Secretary-General to transmit tbis unanimous appreciation and tbanks of the Council to Mr. Mayobre for tbe way in whicb he is fulfillinghis very difficult task. 21. Tbe fourth point raised hi our discussions was wbether tbis mandate of tbe representative of tbe Secretary-General implies tbe investigation of complaints on violations of tbe cesse-fire. On this point there bas emerged, 1 believe, a consensus to tbis entent: that the representative% task of reporting on tbe hnplementation of the cesse-fire entitles hlm to receive and colleot information as he has done heretofore. I bave net heard any objection in tbe Council ta the ways MI-. Mayobre has up to now followed to collect information for his reports, in which he was received the full co-operation of aI1 concerned in the Dominican Republic. as was requested in resolution 203 (1965). Some members would like to go further and see the representative take on a more intensive. role in investigating complaints. Several other members expressedthemselvss against it because they thought it wouldcauseduplicatien. I bave, therefore, wt been able to detect a consensus in the Council to the effect of givingthe Serretary-General% representative a more elaborate mandate of investigation tban up to now. I 22. The fifth point mised was whether the staffof the Secretary-General% representative should be expanded in order to execute his responsibility. On ibis point, there is, 1 believe, a basic agreement in SD far tbat it is essentially a mntter between tbe Secretary- General and bis representative how large the latteras staff should bs in order tocarryoutthe task entrusted to bim by the Cauncil. It is, inother words, witbin tbe ComPetence Of the Secretsry-General to expand the stsff of his representative as the situation requires in the judgement of the Secretary-General. May 1 remind members, in tbis connexion, of tbe sentence wbich the Secretary-General has used a few times and wmcb 1 want to quote agaim v.. . the level of the staff required by my representative is under constant revlew and 1 Will provide him witb the necessary assistance as tbe circumstanoes may demand.~ (1223rd meeting, para. 8.1 23. A skth point. closely connected with the P~C- Ceding, is “the crying needdo provide the Secretary- General% representative on tbe island wltb more effective and efflcient means of communication v,dtb Headquarterss. (1226th meeting, para. 45.1 Thls SugkWticn WM bxqht up tbis morning by the representative of Malaysia, whose words 1 havejustquoted. 1 bave heard support for this suggestion from several side% ml no objections. SQ 1 think TNB eau conclude that there is agreement on this Point. we bave just listened to a statement of the Secretary-General in PolitiqUe cer pleinement 25. 1 realise tbat these points do not give satisfaction to a.ll members of ths Cou&l, but 1 had to limit myself to those points on which there was unanimity. 1 bavs merely tried to determine, with regard to t,he specific suggestions which have been made by several members. to what etient there was consensus on those points. This summary does net of course terminate our debate on the subject on our agenda, nor does it in any way detract fiom the positions taken by the members of the Council in their interventions. 1 have merely tried, as impartially as possible, to determine some Points of agreement with regard to concrete points discussed. ont prises définir. certains l’examen débattues.

The Soviet delegation has listened to the statement by the representative of the United States, Mr. Stevenson, and feels it necessary to make the followlng comments. 23. listes entendu la déclaration d’Amérique. soviétique suivantes. 27. The United States representative, apparently wanting to fill the gaps in the statement made at the la& meeting, by his colleague, decided to correct tbe regrettable and unjust situation by the speech he bas just delivered. We should like to draw attention to the part of his statement in which he said that we are talldng here not about who was right and who was wrong when the traglc events in the Wminican Republio took place but about looking ahead and finding a way out of the situation. 27. doute 2 combler par rectifier vention l’attention sadeur s’agit Bvénements bliqve garder situation. I i I 28. ment de déterminer de ce crime pays d’Amérique faite veraineté connaft qui cherche Populaire conséquences 28. No, here in the Security Council we are indeed talkmg about who is guilty and responsible for tbe rnonstmus crime which has been committed against a small Latin American State and about the violence and outrages which are still being perpetratedagainst the sovereignty and independence of the Dominican people. The whole world lmows that the guiliy party, tbe pariy responsible for ail tbe consequences, is United States imperialism, which committed thls crime and is trying to dmwn in blood a people which bas risen in revolt. 29. sentant des Etats-Unis de sécuri’é services mettre nicaine. pour désintéressement ment brossé un tableau de la justice 29. Today, as lie bas done repeatedly in the past, States representativs, withsurprisingzeal. services of tbe inter-American system on ty Counoil in settling the situation in the Republic. In this connexion, the United Skates representativs used all bis eloquence to deces, goodwill and dispaintsd for us, witb a of the pmsperity and twouldresultifthe 30. Listening to these sanctimonious sermons, one cannot help but be amaaed at the cynicism sud hypocrisy of United States diplomacy. Does net all this smack of mocjoxy and is it uot hypocrisy vhen we hear an appeal for recouciliation and decency from tbe United States fnvaders, who bave occupied the Dominican Republic by force of arms and, Gkfned with the blood of tbe Domfnicsn people, are doing everything they can to stifle the insurgent forccs of tbe ConstitutionaI Covernment? 31. Thus United States diplomacy is continuing to enact before the Secur?y Councfl a shameftd farce, in wbfcb United States imperialism plays tbe role of tbe eaked emperor in the fairy-tale-a farce whose purpose k to use the obscene screen of tb.e so-called inter-American system in order to caver tbe armed intervention of North American bordes in Qte Dominican Republic. 32. The Soviet dekgation considers it necessary to aay again that United States diplom&cy will not succeed by any dfversionary manoauvres m side-trachiog the Council from the examination of the question of the armed intervention by Nortb American kmops in tbe Dominican Republic. The Securfty Council must ffrst aud forem.jst condemn the aggression by United States armed forces agafnst the Dominican Republic, wbioh & a Stste Member of tbe United Nations, and demand the immediate cessation of the intervention and the witbdrawal of aR occupation tmops fmm tbe territory of the Dominican Republic. 33. Tbe Councfl csn accept no prescriptions or instructions from tbose who are continuing tbeir murderous assaults on tbe Dominican people, just as it canuot sbirk its primary duty of decisively condemning brigandage in internatioual relations. 34. As far as tbe President’s statement is concerned, the Soviet delegation deems it necessary to draw attention to the following. 35. First, references to tbe fact that the President is in thls case expressing a consensus of the members of the Counoil cannot be seriously considered, as there are no adequate gmunds for this. 36. Secondly , it ?.s general~y hnovm that in the psactice of tbe Seourity Councff there Q astrict rule tbat. before the President does any summfng-up on behalf of the members of the Council or the Councfl as a wbole, consultations sbould be held with all tbe members of tbe Councfl. Such consultations bave net been held. The Presidentk ststement therefore does net refleot the opinion of all tbe members of the Security COUllOil. 37. Thirdly, the statements wbich have been made today by tbe representatives of France and Jordan [1226th meating] contained important conclusions and requested appropriata action by the Security Counofl. Yet natch of what was said by the representatives of Tb PRESTDEXTz I represeutative of -6-e t3keo goal aote of MS extensive conslat2tiQas ti all tb@ members oftlle 6OWCil. 41. HOweveF. for tbe the represent3tive of tbe Soviet Wnio to say tb3t ale one points tlxat kV2 refe *s bmugbt up tbis morning by tbc representatives of Franace 2nd Yordan, bas occu@ied most of my time in trying to fina a formula wbicb could IX-+ accapted by the most rtant parties concerned V&O had spoken about it morning. ‘J%e reason tbat I omitted that point tLr& 1 could r& find any forumla which was accept3ble to tbe spe3kers an tbat subject. For the rest, 1 take mte of tbe st2tement of the represent2th-e of tbe Soviet Union. RENKO (Union of Soviet Soci&st Republics) (transkited from Russian): mrst of ail, you msy rest assured chat the Iast thing tke members of tic Security Çe~mcti waoted was to cause you, Mr. President, 2ny inconvenience or physical stiering or subject you to SUC~ a torment as hunger. Bowever, tbese consideratbos do net mander any cixumstaaoes, including limitations of time, in any way absolve yo~-~t as a private ptrson but as President of tbe Security Coumil, hvested with tigh powers by tbe Wnited Nations Charter and the provisional rules of procedure of the Council-from the responaibility of preparing, witb due attention and witb no hnrry or hste 2t all, appropriate proposaIs for the coosidemtion of tbe Security Council. These arguments -and I hope you understand me-o-t be given serious consideration. Mowever, the Soviet delegation takes mate of your statement tkat, for tho rest, YOU bave no objection to the substance of the comments made by us. 43. T% PRESIDENT: 1 did net say that I had no oW&lon to the statement of the Soviet representative. 1 said chat I Cook aote of it. That h one point. 45. liowever, 1 do not think there is any point i persevering in this discussion. n 46. Mr. RIFA’I (Jordan): May 1 first of all expres: my sincere compliments to the Secretary-Genera for his statement this afternoon and for the promp action that he has already taken regarding the SU~. gestions made this morning. This promptness h action iS an OUtetanding characteristic of U Than which my delegation highly prises. 3 1 t - i 47. AS ti the proposais of the Organisation oj American States and its declaration read to tht Council by the representative of the United States my delegation will give these documents special attention and Will study them with particular interest f 2 i 48. With regard to the statement which you, Mr President, kindly undertook to prepare to sum tr certain suggestions and proposais that were madi by a number of representatives ciuring the presen stage of the debate. 1 understand from what yo! said that the points you referred to do not includt a11 those raised in the debate but are limited onll to points on which there is unanimitv. However, heard you mention among those points the question of an additional mandate to the rem-esentative of thf Secretary-General. On this you said-and 1 hope 1 heard you correctly-that there was no consensus. If this is the case, 1 wonder whether you would kindly consider including in the summ,ry the points raisee by a large number of members of tbis Council tbis morning and this afternoon regarding the conditions of the cesse-fire, in tbe resolutions of the Security Council on the Dominican situation specifically and witb regard to the principle involved in a cesse-fire in ,+neral. What 1 hope for precisely is to see adsquately reflected the opinions expressed in this Council regarding the mandate of a cesse-fire.

U 1 did not misunderstand the Ambassador of the Soviet Union, 1 conclude that he deprecates, aiscourages and ridicules an appeal by the Organisation of American States, fhrough its Ad Hoc Committee, for peace followed by elections to enable thepeople to determine their own destiny. 1s he against peaceful solution by free elections? Does he propose civil war, fighting, shooting, and solution by bloodshed? What 1 bave reported here this afternoon is what the Organisation of American States has proposed with a detailed plan. This is what the OAS has appealed to the Dominican people to approve and to abide by. 50. He hcnours me by referring to my speech as a sanctimonious sermon. His sarcastic words are $2. IV&. Sk?OXXJX(Friulce) (translatedfromFrench): MX-. President, 1 should like to assure you tkat the Frenck d&gati~n fully appreciates the difficulties of YQUZ tank, ciifficulties made all tke greater by tke fa& tkat we bave ashed you to do in the space of a t you had cmtemplated dei a consensus whic te franhly, seems to me impossible-and 1 believe tkat my delegation is net tke only me to kold this view-for the simple reason tkat since tke beginning of tkese meetings tkere kas been no agreement in tke Council on tke way in wkick tke Uominican question should be assessed. se, you bave indicated some to us wkick we should lihe to . We skould ba grateful to you, itir. President, if you would arrangetokave circubated to us, as soon as possible, a copy of the statement wkick you kave just made, and, in order to be able to study it and to consult otker delegations, we skould appreciate it very muck if you and tke otker representatives would agree to a suspension of tke meeting for a few minutes.

I see no objection to tk@ suggestion of a suspension of tke meeting for a few minutes. However, 1 bave one more speaker upon my list, tbe representative of Uruguay.

My purpose in ashing for tke floor was 1101 to oppose the suggestion made by tke representative of France but quite tke contrary. However, 1 feel il my duty to say a few words regarding the dooumenl wkiob you kave read out to us, Mr. President. 56. You were kind enougk to refer to a statemenl made tkis morning by my delegation which gave rise to the summary tkat you kave read out to tke Council I should Iike to recall tkat tkis morningmy delegatior tooh tke Hberty of requesting you, Mr. President, tc maho, at an appropriate time. a summa ry of two verJ concrete and specific points concerning wkick tkerc appeared to be an agreement in principle during tkf debate and bath of wkich related to tke scope oî thé Council’s decision witk regard to the cesse-fire Tke first was concerned witb those to wkom tke Coun. cil’6 appeal was addressed, and tke second witk thc position in wkick tke military forces must remain a: a result of tke cesse-fire decision. 56. Mr. President, your statement covered several points. My delegation, like the representative of France, would lihe to study tbe text of that statement before giving its views on it. It would therefore support the French representative’s request for a suspension of the meeting for wbatever period of tir-ire you, Mr. President, may decide. 59. Tbe PRESIDENT: 1 give tbe floor to the representative of the Soviet Union, who wishes to exercise his right of reply.

We wish to reply to the question put to us by tbe United States representative. 61. Mr. Stevenson asks us wbat the position of the Soviet delegation is and whether we faveur a peaceful settlement of tbe Dominican situation or civil war. 62. In the first place, 1 hope by now it is well lmown tbat the Soviet delegation has on several occasions and with the utmost clarity stated its position on the question of the Dominicen Republic. Perhaps tbe United States representative has either forgotten -buman memory is fallible-or was net present at the meetings of the Security Council because he was busy with other affairs of conscience. 63. We have invariably maintained and we do maintain-allow me in any case to remindyou, Ambassador Stevenson-tbat the Security Council, fulfiRmg its duty as the highest organ of our world Organieation, sbouid condemn tbe aggression by United States imperialism against tbe Dominican Republic. demand the immediate cessation of the intervention and occupation and adopt a decision regarding the immediate expulsion of all foreign troops from tbe territory of tbe Dominican Republic. 64. As regards the internal questions of the social and political organisation of tbe Dominican Republic. we bave always considered and we stiR consider tbat tbis is within the exclusive right and competenoe of the Dominican people tbemselves. It is tbey, the Dominicans, and net any foreigners, interventionists or United States agressors, who must decide the question of wbich path they sbould follow and how to organise tbe interna1 life of their country. 65. In Une second place, the United States representatlve. as far as we understcod him, bastened t0 disavow the sermon which be recitedherefroma text, embers. let us Coumil on tbe question of the cesse-fin3 Daninican situ thé you migbt say Cameil reaffir resol.utions and call on all parties d strictly to abide by the Councti’s previ~us resoPutions, and that the Ccuncil affirmas as an essential principle ‘Fe cessation of armed bostipities and the restriction of movements of military tiops across the positions e the cesse-fine. Tbese areprim3pPest.M recogaized and t5atgovernacease-fire inaIl respects. 70. Mr. Presicknt, Ci you would tare t0 axe@ the inclusion of these suggestions md principles, that would save reparesentatives from Wg of chfting any resohtion along tbis Pine. 71. Iv&. YOST (United States of America]: Mr. President, it was poiuted out by some members, in connexion with the summary statement which you made, that time for study was required. We would certalaly need time for studytig the suggestion which êbe representatfve of J~ordan bas just made. h am mt sure that 1 caught the exact meaning of ont part of his statement in wbicb be spoke, as I uncierst<wd it, of movemeat mross established cease-fire lines. mis, 0f O*urse, we woula waat to clari@. I assume fr+xn tic context of previous statements here that be may bave been alluding to the advance outside the lin@ of communications which the Inter-Americao Peace Force felt it necessary to take wbea it was subiect to intensive attack a few days ago. 73. As regards tbe necessity for peace-keeping forces in such circumstances to bave, in selfpmtection, some freedom of manoeuvre SO tbat the attacks, once repolsed, wiJ.l net be immediately repeated, I invite tbe Council’s attention to tbe experlence of the United Nations peace-keeping force in Katanga-an action endorsed at tbe time, 1 migbt note, by Me vast majority of UnitedNations Members. In a statement of 31 December 1662 bytbe Secretary- General with regard to tbe defensive action taken at that time by the United Nations forces fn tbs Congo against tbe Katanga gendarmeAie. tbe foliowlng passages appear: ” . . . in mid-afternoon on 26 Deoember tbe United Nations troops, in self-defenoe. were ordered at last to prote& tbeir security and their freedom of movement by clearing away tbe mad-blocks and strong points. This bas been accomplished WV in an action of two days’ duration . . . “‘Ehe gendarmerie forces have been cleared away from the perimeter of Elisabethville to a considerable distance and they Will not be permitted to return or to re-establish their positions.” [See S/5053/Add.14,3/ aonex XXX& paras. 2 and 3.1 At another point in the same statement tbeSecretary- General said: “Naving said all this, and repeating tbat the United Nations hopes for and continues to seek a settlement witbout further recourse to armedforce, I wish to make it entirely clear tB.at the United Nations Force in the Congo, pendiog tbe settlement, Will not relax its vlgllance nor cesse to increase its readiness to meet any contingency. It deflnitely Will not again tolerate attacks upon it witbout respondlng quickly aod sharply.” [mid., para. 16.1 74. It will therefore. be clear to tbe Council that tbe problems confronting the OAS peace-keeping force in Sa& Domingo are not unique and that that force has been obliged to a& very much as bave United Nations peace-keeping forces in similar circumstances. 75. Plnally, 1 am sure that members of tbe Council bave noted the statement of tbe OAS Ad Nec COmd to ami armed f5rce. a also SBli tbat 78.

Tbe PRESIDENT: The Secretaq-General bas askd to ma.ke same remarks at s time. 80. The SECRETARU-GENERAL: 1 wish to m&e a very brief observation in connexion ~6th the skatement jast made by tbe sepresentative of tbe United Skates Force in tbe Conga Force in tbe Cmgo did was in strict coafo&ty of tbe ?sxxu%y Couwil. r. FEDORENKQ (Union of Soviet Sociakt Repubkx) (translated f.wm Rassian): Tbe Soviet delegation feels it necessany ta, make the followlng mnmet& on tbe proposaK made by tbe representative of Jinx.Jan. 83. En cm view, tbe considerations stated by the representative of Jordan are in accordance with tic 64. We wish to state that the Soviet deIegationshares this approach to the situation prevailing in Santa Domingo. We sbould lihe to point out, however, tbat this should in no way mean that the Council endorses or reoognises tbe presenoe there, in tbe IXminic8.n RepubIic, of the intervention forces of tbe N~rth American invaders and of other foreign troops. 65. In this connexion, we venture to draw the attention 0f the Counoil to the fact tbat the United States representative, in the statement he bas just made, un ivocaIly voiced ihe definite intention oftheNortb American occupation forces in Santa Bomingo to act as they like. In other words, tbe United States representatiqe announced tbat the United States imperialist forces Will contiiue to interfere in the internai sffairs of the Uominican Republic. 66. We consider it essential to underline the deflant character of su& a statement in the Security Council and we regard this as a continuation ofthe scandalous violation of the United Nations Charter. 87. It is noticeable that the United States representative tried to justify the behaviour of the North American occupation troops in the JJomiaican Republic by quoting appropriate precedents, including the Congolese operation. 88. We, for our part, should like to draw attention to the unjustified and grounclless nature of any su& observations. and tiaereby to stress once again tbat there is no justiEication for tiae North Americaa intervention in the Domtnican Republic or for the continuation of thair occupation of tbe country. 89. With regard to the statement made before the recess by tbe President of tbe Council, the Soviet delegation bas stated its views, which still hold good.

I &ouId like to reply to the questions put by the representative of Jordan. Before 1 go into his last point, I think 1 owe bim a little expIanation in connexion with his earlier intervention on two Points. In the first place. 1 sbould like to make it clear that 1 did not quallfy my summing up as a consensus, wbich would bave needed more elaborate consultation; but I said that I wanted to mention only a ftw points of agreement wbich emerged from tbe last round of debates-whioh is sometbing different from a consensus. 91. With regard to the second point, lie indicated t0 me, rightly, that on one specific subject 1 mentioned a point where there was no consensus. He is quite right on tbat. The reason why I did that was that that particuhar point, namely, the right of investigation by tbe representative of tbe Secretary-General, was brougbt up in the debate, and 1 tbougbt I did det@ct

partbipated in tbe CQ~s~tatlo~ to entative of Jordan referred a sbmt . me suggestiQns lx bas just made are eatorely in keeping witb tbe views I myself express& tbis mornhg wben I said: II . . . tbat ths &VO resolutimts [Xl3 (1965) and 205 (1965ll of tbe Sscmity Comdl on tbe ceasc-fire made it the duty of s3.l parties to the confkt to adben? tQ tba mm. tbey sespecéively occupied. r interpretation would graut a privilege wlm broke tbe cease-fire. w [1226tbmeeting, iate it vwy mucb, %r. President, intnlo account the suggestions my Jordan bas made, wlaioh are, 1 know, otbeer colleagues. With regard to ths you saised in your brief statement, a consensus, a summary or, more et of conclusions? 1 leave it to your iplomacy, b wbicb is great, and to your formula. gmat sWL to find ths most appropriate 1S 98. If no one else wishes to take the floor at this time and if there are no suggestions with regard to the next meeting of the Councif, then 1 would perhaps suggest that we meet again Monday afternoon, in order to give me some time for consultation on Monday morning.

We bave net taken the floor in order to express disagreement with the suggestion that the Council should meet again on Monday. On the contrary, we consider this arrangement appropriate to the state oi affairs. We should like, however, to emphasise that we take this decision on the next meeting of the Security Council on the understanding that in case of need tbe Council Will be convened immedlately at the request of any of its members, as agreed earlier in the Council. 100. Finally, before we disperse for the week-end, the Soviet delegation must express surprise that the latest list of Permanent Missions to the United Nations for the month of June includes as the representative of the Dominican Republic, Mr. .Guaroa Velilsques, and other persans who are net empowered to represent the Dominicanpeople. Ifthey do represent anyone it is in a11 probability the generals’ junta established by the United States occupation organs in Santa Domingo. It is well known that the Security Council heard Mr. Vel%zquez, in particular, as a private individual. 101. For this reason, we insist that the necessaiy measures be taken to remove the naines of these persans from the list of Permanent Missions to the United Nations and we request the Secretary-General of the United Nations, U Thant, to give the necessary instructions for the elimination of this anomaly.

1 give the floor to the Secretary-General,

1 am grateful tc the representative of the Soviet Union for bringing this matter to my attention, 1 shall see that the Secretariat takes the appropriate action in thls matter in conformity with my statement made soine time ago [1207th meeting] regarding the credentials of the Permanent Represefitative of the Dominican Republic.
