Mr. Feith (Netherlands)
My Government remains fully committed to the early and complete implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. The Netherlands therefore attaches the greatest importance to the work of the Special Committee. We would have liked to vote in favour of draft resolution A/34/L.51/ Rev.1, but certain elements in this draft resolution have unfortunat…
Mr. Eralp (Türkiye)
The Turkish delegation voted in favour of the draft resolutions contained in documents A/34/L.51/Rev.1 and A/34/L.52/Rev.1, in keeping with its traditional position on questions relating to decolonization. We should, however, like to place it on record that, in our view, some of the references to Southern Rhodesia in draft resolution A/34/L.51/Rev.1 do not adequately reflect the recent encouragin…
Mr. Murata (Japan)
My delegatien voted in favour of draft resolution A/34/L.51/Rev.1, which has just been adopted, because of our firm support for the basic objective set forth in it; namely; a reaffirmation of the inalienable right of the peoples of Non- Self-Governing Territories to self-determination and independence.

Mr. Chan (Australia)
Australia has given consistent support to resolutions in this Assembly on the implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. We have accordingly voted at this session in favour of draft resolutions A/34/L.51/Rev.1 and A/34/L.52/Rev.1. 50. In relation to the situation in Rhodesia. the Australian Government hopes and expects that the people of …
Mr. Garrigues (Spain)
My delegation voted in favour of draft resolution A/34/L.51/Rev.1 because, as in past years, we fully support the principles on which it is based. None the less, we wish to express reservations on operative paragraphs 4 and 9 of that draft resolution. Operative paragraph 9, in particular, does not take due account of the positive development of events in respect of Southern Rhodesia. 52. Mr. MA…
Mr. Varela Quiros (Costa Rica)
My delegation voted in favour of draft resolutions A/34/L.51/Rev.i and A/34/L.52/ Rev.1, which have just been adopted, because we support the principle of self-determination. Nevertheless, my delegation does not agree with everything contained in operative paragraph 9 of draft resolution A/34/L.51/ Rev.1. The paragraph does not take account of the results of the Lancaster House Conference on Rhod…
The President
There remain two matters concerning the present agenda item which | should like to bring to the Assembly's attention. 58. First, document A/34/617 contains a letter addressed to the President of the General Assembly regarding the decision of the Government of Sweden to withdraw from membership of the Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the G…
The President
Secondly, document A/34/799 contains a letter informing the President of the General Assembly that, subject to the concurrence of the Assembly, it is the wish of the Government of Venezuela to rejoin the Special Committee as from January 1980. May I take it that the General Assembly decides to increase the membership of the Special Committee from 24 to 25? It was so decided (decision 34/325).
The President
I therefore nominate Venezuela as a member of the Special Committee as from 1 January 1980. May I take it that the Assembly confirms that nomination? It was so decided decision 34/310 (b)).
