I shall now call on those representatives who wish to explain their votes,
Mr. Hljang Hua
The Portuguese authorities have for a number of years repeatedly committed armed aggrdssion against the Republic of Senegal and threatened the territorial integrity and national security of that country. It has caused great loss of life among the Senegalese people, thereby creating a state of tension endangering the peace in that region.

Mr. Migliuolo
We conclude today our consideration of a complaint by Senegal which the Council began to consider four months ago, in July, when it decided to set up a Special Mission to carry out the necessary investigations. We read the report of the Special Mission with attention and great interest, I should like to join in the praise of the report which has been expressed by previous speakers. It is a well d…
Mr. Sevilla-Sacasa
I should like to state first that the resolution we have just adopted, being based on the recommendations of the Special Mission, represents a gesture of recognition of the task accomplished by the six members of the Mission. At the same time, I should like to express to our colleagues, the Ambassador of the United Kingdom and the representative of Italy, my gratitude for their generous words abo…
The President
It will be a pleasure for me to transmit to the Secretary-General the kind wishes that the representative of Nicaragua has asked me to convey to him,

Sir Colin CROWE
I am raising a point of order on the assumption that we have fmished our business for today,
67. I have asked for permission to speak on this point of order to refer to the request which I made for a meeting of the Council at 11.30 tomorrow morning, or as soon as possible thereafter, in connexion with the matter of which the Security Council is seized concerning the situation in Southern Rhodesi…
Mr. Issraelyan
Mr, President, I understand the position to be as follows: it is proposed that we discuss an item on the agenda of the Security Council, that item being the situation in Southern Rhodesia. If that is the case, the Soviet delegation is ready to discuss the question of the date for a meeting to consider this matter with YOU and with the other members of the Security Council. As 1 understand it, we …
Mr. Bush
In order to facilitate any consultations that might take place, I wish to say that our delegation has no objection whatsoever to meeting in accordance with the letter that was circulated by Sir Colin Crowe.
74. Mr, KOSCIUSKO-MORIZET (France) (interpretation Finn? French): I do not quite understand the objective of
this discussion. There is an item on the Security Council’s agenda concerning the…
Mr. Farah
Earlier this week, on Monday in fact, the Security Council Committee on sanctions met to discuss an aspect of the question of Southern Rhodesia. It had been hoped that following that meeting it would be possible to arrange for a report to be submitted to the Security Council so that the Council would be seized of the question of Southern Rhodesia by the end of this week or by Monday or Tuesday of…
Sir Colin CROWE
It will be a substantive statement, I cannot say what is in it before my Secretary of State makta his statement in the House. It will concern Southern Rhodesia and it will be a matter of interest to the Council, I am quite sure, I agree that it may well indeed lead to debate in the Council. But perhaps for that very reason members of the Council might like to hear and consider what I have to say,…
The President
I should like to point out that we have not yet formally concluded our consideration of the item which is now on the agenda; that is to say, the complaint of Senegal.
80. The representative of the United Kingdom has raised the question of Rhodesia. After receiving this morning the letter from that representative-which has been distributed to all the members of the Council-I undertook consultatio…
Mr. Issraelyan
I apologize for speaking once again on this matter, but, as everybody knows, of course, it was not I who raised the question. I think that we should keep to the procedure usually followed in the Security Council, whereby questions of this type are resolved by consultations, which you have conducted very successfully and well, but since the representative of the United Kingdom has placed the matte…
Mr. Terencb
It seems that by trying to be so very specific we run the risk of complicating the problem. As far as the delegation of Burundi is concerned, we feel that the customary procedure should be applied, namely, that when any delegation requests a meeting of the Security Council for valid reasons which warrant the request, the Cound should meet.
97. On the other hand, it is my impression that in this …
Sir Colin CROWE
As I made clear to you earlier today, I have absolutely no objection to the report of the Committee on sanctions being included in the agenda. Indeed I would accept the agenda proposed by the representative of Somalia.
which, as far as my delegation knows, there has been no request for urgent consideration. The Council is master of its own procedures and it will be in a position to take the appr…
Mr. Nakagawa
My delegation also wishes to associate itself with the statements of a number of previous speakers by saying that we are interested in hearing at first hand and at the first possible opportunity what the United Kingdom Government has to say on the problem of Rhodesia and what the Foreign Secretary has achieved in his talks with the Rhodesian authorities. I believe that the representative of the S…
Mr. Savage
My delegation was of the opinion that the point of order raised by the United Kingdom representative was adequately dealt with in your statement, Mr, President, to the effect that the usual consultations were going on. The delegation of Sierra Leone would have absolutely no problem in listening to what the British representative would have to tell us. But I agree with you, Mr. President, that the…
Mr. Oritz De Rozas
It seems to me that the Counci* in its wisdom has spared the President the task of holding consultations, because the majority of its members have already pronounced themselves, From what has been said it seems clear that there is no objection to hearing the statement of the representative of the United Kingdom, a statement which promises to be extremely interesting.
Mr. Farah
First of all, I should like to make it perfectly clear that my delegation does not in any way oppose the United Kingdom representative’s imparting to this Council information relating to the Southern Rhodesian question. In fact, all along my delegation has felt that the responsibility for the welfare and the future of the people of Southern Rhodesia rests squarely on the shoulders of the United K…
Mr. Issraelyan
As I understand it, we all agree on the need to convene the Security Council to discuss the situation in Southern Rhodesia, at which time statements will be heard and information provided in accordance with established practice. And I think that all members of the Council would certainly be surprised if, shall we say, the Soviet delegation proposed or requested that a meeting of the Security Coun…

The President
I shall now call on those representatives who have asked to be allowed to explain their vote after the voting.
Mr. Jamieson
My delegation has on previous occasions made it clear that we do not believe that resolutions on any aspect of the Rhodesian question are necessary at this time, For that reason it has abstained both on the paragraph vote and on the vote on the resolution as a whole, However, it is clearly the wish of the majority of the members of the Council that a resolution should be adopted on the question o…
Mr. SEN
I wish to suggest simply a drafting change. I am not proposing it formally but I am suggesting it to the sponsors for their consideration, The word “fully” appears twice in operative paragraph 1. This is just a stylistic change, to use the word “completely” instead of “fully”.
95. It is, of course, clear that the objective of sanctions is the objective which is stated for them in resolution 253 …
The President
Operative paragraph 1 would then read :
ciReuffirnu its decision that the present sanctions against Southern Rhodesia shall remain fully in force until the aims and objectives set out in resolution 253 (1968) are completely achieved;“.
Mr. Farah
My delegation is gratified by the overwhelming vote not only in support of the resolu. tion as a whole but also in support of paragraph 1 in particular. When I introduced the draft resolution [16#Zst meeting] I pointed out that when the sponsors spoke of the “aims and objectives” of resolution 253 (1968) we had very much in mind the provisions of paragraph 2: which reads as follows:
I take it th…

We are meeting here in circumstances which have been described as urgent, and as a result of a letter submitted to the President of the Council by the representative of Spain [S/Z1851 1.

My delegation, as is known, sponsored another draft resolution [S//f853/Rev.l] which, in a more direct manner, called attention to an act likely to endanger international peace and security. I consulted members of the Security Council about that draft resolution, and some of them persuaded m…

44. The process of decolonization of Western Sahara has been inordinately protracted. The talks between the interested parties on the question of Western Sahara have so far not led to an agreed view on ways of solving this important problem, which is being discussed at almost all levels. The decisions of the General Assembly on this question have not been complied with. In …
Mr. Salim
A very serious problem is now before the Security Council. In the consideration of the problem before us, my delegation has listened with the utmost attention and seriousness to the important statements made by the representatives of Spain, Morocco, Mauritania and Algeria.

Mr. Vinci
The resolution on Western Sahara which we have just adopted by consensus is the result of long, arduous, intense and elaborate consultations which reflected faithfully the intricacies and complexities of a situation in which so many interests and principles are involved. The statements that we have heard up to now confirm this assessment.

Mr. Oyono
The delegation of the United Republic of Cameroon is very pleased at the Council’s adoption by consensus of draft resolution S/ 11858 on the present situation concerning Western Sahara.
