The Acting President
Before giving the floor to the speakers in explanation of position, may I remind delegations that explanations are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Ms. Neenan
The United Kingdom disassociates itself from consensus on resolution 67/265. The United Kingdom’s position on the United Nations decolonization process is well known. We regret that the Special Committee on Decolonization continues with its outdated approach.
In addition, on this particular resolution, the United Kingdom believes that it is not for the General Assembly to determine in any partic…
Mr. Dadema
We regret that the Kingdom of the Netherlands must disassociate itself from the consensus on resolution 67/265, entitled “Selfdetermination of French Polynesia”. The Kingdom of the Netherlands does support the inalienable rights of the people of Non-Self-Governing Territories to selfdetermination. However, the General Assembly must adhere to the views expressed through democratic processes by the…
Mr. Berger
I want to state that in the light of the letter from Presidentelect Gaston Flosse to the President of the General Assembly and the resolution adopted yesterday by the French Polynesian Assembly disapproving of the resolution before the General Assembly, Germany is of the opinion that the General Assembly should not have continued its consideration of resolution 67/265. Germany therefore disassoci…
Mr. DeLaurentis
The United States strongly affirms the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations as one of the fundamental values of the Organization. The facts in this case are clear. The people of French Polynesia, through their
democratically elected representatives, have made clear that they do not support resolution 67/265. The newly elected Government, which takes offi…
Mrs. Morgan
Mexico recognizes the inalienable right to self-determination of people.

It was also reaffirmed by the General Assembly in resolution 2625 (XXV). The principle is also recognized in article 1 of the International Covenants on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and o…
Mr. Díaz Bartolomé
Argentina joined the consensus in favour of resolution 67/265 out of respect for the right to self-determination of the people of French Polynesia, in accordance with resolution 1514 (XV) and other relevant resolutions of the General Assembly on decolonization. The resolution just adopted is clearly in the spirit of resolution 1514 (XV) and other relevant resolutions of the General Assembly on de…
Mr. Percaya
I wish to take the floor to briefly explain the position of Indonesia on resolution 67/265, which the Assembly has just adopted. The Charter of the United Nations declares that one of the purposes of the Organization is to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples. The right of self-determination is also one of th…
The Acting President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of position.
I now give the floor to the representative of Solomon Islands.
Mr. Beck
On behalf of the sponsors of resolution 67/265, let me thank all those who joined the consensus on the resolution. We also note those who had other positions. We thank them all and we look forward to working with them. We look forward to once again seeing the administrating Power, France, and the Non-Self-Governing Territory, French Polynesia, continue their cooperation within the appropriate bod…
The Acting President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 60?
