The usual rules of pro- tocol wouId require t11at l shoule! keep a respectful silence on an occasion of this kincl. l fee! that this is not a matter of protocol.

On 26 April, while speaking in the Council on this very same subject, the Suez Canal, I stated: " When the Security Council adopted the resolution of 13 October 1956, I fully expected that an inter- national agreement would be derived from the six I requirements embodied in that resolution.

During the last several years the Security Councl1 has had to consider a number of disputes originating in the demilitarized zones or along the so-called demarcation lines of Palestine. I recall no case in which this Council as a whole

1 do not wish in the least to engage in polemies. but 1 should like to inform this Council that the Government which issued the instruc- tion to Mr. Hsia in 1946 is the same Government that issues instructions to me today. Indeed, in 1946 we hoped and we thought that Outer Mongolia was in- dependent…
Since Outer Mongolia ap- plied for membership in the United Nations in 1946, the Security Council has considered and reconsidered the application a dozen times. Everytime, the Security Council, in accordance with the provisions of the Charter and of our provisional rules of procedure, found it neces…

The delegation of China regrets that the Belgian authorities in Ruanda-Urundi permitted on 31 December 1960 the transit of a unit of the armed forces of the Republic of the Congo from the airfield of Usumbura. The action of the Belgian authorities, in the opinion of my delegation, is not consistent …
It is naturalandusualthat a newly independent country should be evenmoresensi- tive about its political independence and territorial integrity than the older countries. My delegation, therefore,' understands the anxiety of the Republic of the Congo in regard to its independence and integrity. We lik…
There is one preliminary remark that I should like to make. In submitting his proposal to the Council, the representative of Poland stated that he regarded his 'proposal as one of sub- stance and not as one of procedure. I beg to record my disagreement with that interpretation of his pro- posal. In …
