On a point of order before I resume: I totally object to the illegality and usurpation of the representative of Israel in calling the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan the Palestinian Arab State of Jordan. He knows full well that Jordan was admitted to the United Nations in 1955 as the Hashemite Kingdom o…
Having read with agonizing pain and revulsion the information contained in notes and documents, the statistics, the so-called laws and enact- ments, the special studies and the reports made available under the watchful aegis of the Centre against Apartheid of the Department of Political and Security…
The marathon debate-or should we call it filibuster? -over the Palestine question will soon enter its thirtieth year. Its hallmark has been immobility, inaction and outright helplessness. One leading American statesman, in response to my urging him, more than a decade ago, to initiate efforts toward…
It is my distinct privilege, in this debate on the question of Palestine, to pay the highest tribute to the Chairman, Mr. Falilou Kane, Ambassador of Senegal, and to the other members of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People whose in- defatigable exertions…
It is my sad duty at the outset to express my delegation's deep sorrow at the untimely passing of Mr. Hamilton Shirley Amirasinghe, one of the most oustanding former Presidents of the General Assembly. His unflinching dedication to the principles and causes of the United Nations has deservedly earne…
I still insist, Mr. Presi- dent-and I think that I am speaking properly and in ac- cordance with the accepted norms of the United Nations in saying this-that every State should be called by its universally recognized name. Anything else would be a distortion.
32. I have no desire whatsoever to inte…
It is against the rules and regulations of our United Nations for any representative to misname a country, not to use the proper, legal name of the country to which he refers. The representative of Is- rael should know, if he does not, that the nam~ of Jo]d'!.l! is the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, a…
The representative of Is- rael is not entitled, under the rules and regulations which govern cie!iberations of United Nations bodies, to mis- name a point of order a "po.int of disorder". He should call it what it is, what it is .legally and universally ac- cepted to be-a point of order. I hope, Mr.…
I would request the Presi- dent to ask the Israeli representative to {:all Jordan by its official name recognized by the United Nations since its admission in 1955. The name of Jordan is the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and that was its name before the par- tition of Palestine and before there was a…
I have no intention of re- peating the substantive debate on the question of Pal- estine, which has been exhaustively discussed. The Israeli statement is at best redundant and at worst a defiance of the consensus of the community of nations. •
82. If the Israeli representative sheds crocodile tears…
On 29 November 1947 the General Assembly, in its then minority composition of Member States represented at the United Nations, decided at a special session to dismember the "trust" territory of Palestine and to dismantle its peace-loving people. I am referring to the real and genuine Palestine and n…
Mr. President, I think I am expressing the .opinion of my colleagues in the group of Arab States when I say that we have listened with great attention to the thorough and most interesting report which you have submitted this afternoon, at the end of this thirty- fifth session. concerning the 'progre…
On a point of order, I believe that the President has ruled that we suourd stick to eplaining our votes before the voting and not exercise the right of reply-which is the right of every representative at the appropriate moment.
273. But the representative of Israel should not take the occasion of e…
May I request the President to rule the representative of Israel out of order for misnaming my country, which is the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The name he used is a travesty of the official name of the Hashemite King- dom of Jordan that is accepted in the records of the United Nations. Whatever h…
I wish to make a statement of two closely correlated components: the first, a point of order, and the second an explanation of my vote before the vote.
237. I find myself compelled to make some comments on what all of us should regard as extremely ominous functional aberrations which affect the ver…
I do not believe that it would be fair to this Assembly for me to reply to the representative of Israel's irrelevancies and diversionary tactics.
168. Whether Mr. Shaka'a was detained or not and for whatever reason, let the representative of Israel remember that at that time both the East Bank and …
The decision of the Israeli occupation authorities has given rise to urgent and emergency consideration, first in the Special Political Committee and then in this Assembly, because it tears apart the very fabric and foundation of interna- tional law upon which the United Nations is founded, and beca…
At this late stage in the debate on the question of Namibia at the resumed thirty-third session of the General Assembly, it is evident and crystal-clear that the racist South African regime is totally unwilling to heed and isin fact incapable ofheeding the VOice of the United Nations, of humanity an…
