Deploring that despite all these requests the Govern-
ment of Belgium has not yet complied with the resolu-
tions and that such non-compliance has mainly con-
tributed to the further deterioration of the situation in
the Congo,
Convinced that the central factor in the present grave
situation in the Congo is the continued presence of Bel-
gian and other foreign military and paramilitary per-
sonnel and political advisers, and mercenaries, in total
disregard of repeated resolutions of the United Nations,
1. Calls upon the Government of Belgium to accept
its responsibilities as a Member of the United Nations
and to comply fully and promptly with the witl of the
Security Council and of the General Assembly;
2. Decides that all Belgian and other foreign military
and paramilitary personnel and political advisers not
under the United Nations Command, and mercenaries,
shall be completely withdrawn and evacuated;
3. Calls upon all States to exert their influence and
extend their co-operation to effect the implementation
of the present resolution.
