S/PV.2721 Security Council

The representative of Chad has asked to be allowed to speak in exercise of the right of reply, and I call on him. I4i-a AlXXlM (Chad) (interpretation from French): I wish simply to note for the benefit of the representative of the USSR that there is no connection whatsoever between our meeting today and agenda item 142 of the forty-first session of the General Assembly. Indeed, the Government of the Republic of Chad requested a meeting of the Security Council to consider the extremely grave situation now prevailing in the occupied northern part of ita territory. We can never repeat that too often since, 88 we said earlier in our statement, it involves the fate of the civilian population which is being bombarded and attacked daily. As we have said, the atrocities perpetrated by the Libyan Army in the occupied northern part of Chad are indescribably inhuman. I therefore appeal to the representative of the USSR to transcend the partisan position he has just taken so as to understand the genuine concerns we have now described to the Security Council. The PRESIDEUT: There are no more namee inscribed on the list of speakers for thie meeting. The meeting rose at 5.15 p.m.
