The President
The delegation of Somalia shares the hopes expressed by the representative of France in his statement.
Mr. Bush (United States of America)
As my delegation has said on prior occasions, and as I said here at the beginning of our deliberations on this question [162&h meeting/, the United States agrees in principle to the holding of occasional meetings of the Security Council outside New York. We also agreed with the consensus resolution that we have adopted today, We had expressed reservations about meeting in any given area in order …
Mr. HUANG Hua (China)
The Chinese delegation would like to make a few remarks 22. At present the struggle of the African countries and peoples in defence of their national independence and State sovereignty and the movements of the people in the non-independent regions of Africa for national independence and national liberation are vigorously surging forward. In the meantime, imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonial…
Mr. Vinci (Italy)
The Committee set up by the Security Council to study the complex legal, political, financial and administrative problems connected with the holding of meetings in Africa has performed a most useful task in a very short time and, thanks to the co-operation of all its members and your able, efficient leadership, Mr. President, has presented us with a set of important recommendations, which we have…
Mr. Malik (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics)
The Security Council has adopted the recommendations of the Committee that has been charged with the question of holding Council meetings in Africa. Both at the twenty-sixth session of the General Assembly and here in the Council, the Soviet delegation has actively supported the initiative of the African countries and their great organization, the Organization of African Unity, in requesting that…
Mr. Fakhreddine (Sudan)
In what I am about to say my deIegation does not wish to appear to be replying to what has been said by the representatives of France and the United States or to be trying to allay the apprehensions and the doubts they have expressed. 40. However, having studied the report of the Committee and having received information from our representatives on that body, we cannot fail to draw attention to …
Mr. Toure (Guinea)
Because we are affected by the decision that the Council has just taken following the request made by the Organization of African Unity in a resolution adopted at the eighth session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government at Addis Ababa3 and endorsed by the General Assembly,4 my delegation would like to express its satisfaction at seeing the efforts of all the various delegations, and pa…
Mr. Nakagawa (Japan)
My delegation is happy that the Security Council has decided to hold meetings in Africa. This shows the particular importance which the Council attaches to the problems of Africa. My delegation supported the proposal for that very reason. 52. I also wish to express the appreciation of my deIegation for the work which the Committee on Meetings away from Headquarters carried out under your able C…
Mr. Malik (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics)
I have one comment. Much has been said here about financial implications and a desire has been expressed for economy. Naturally, no one is opposed to economy with regard to the resources of the United Nations, but I think we should look around us a little more at the work of other United Nations bodies. Some organs of the United Nations hold sessions away from Headquarters and, judging from the e…
Mr. SEN (India)
I am not quite sure that I have something new to say, but none the less it will probably be 64. As regards finances, we have always taken the view that the question under consideration is essentially ,an African matter, and whatever the African delegations wish, we shall follow them, if not blindly, at least with a great deal of sympathy. It is in that spirit that we have taken up this work and …
The President
In my capacity as representative of SOMALIA I should like to say that it is my delegation’s view that an Organization such as ours can grow in strength and stature only if it is alive and responsive to the needs and aspirations of the Members it has been established to serve. In Africa there are many situations which constitute a threat to international peace and security and when one looks at th…
