In the resolution just adopted the Security CounciI, acting in the exercise of its responsibilities under the Charter, has issued a clear cal1 for an end to the hostilities in the Near East. This resolution is a first step on the road back towards peace. It carrles the full authority of the United Nations. It is now the duty of a11 the parties concerned to comply fully and promptly with the terms…
1 thank you, Mr. Presi. dent, for the opportunity to explain my delegation’s understanding of the cesse-fire resolution that tbe Council has just adppted.
20. 1 should say first of a11 that my delegation looks on this resolution as the first of many urgent steps, and as one with a limited but vital objective: that of meeting the pressing requirement of a tragic situation of large-scale armed con…
The Council has thus called for a cessation of hostilities. This decision which would have spared us SO much death and destruction had it been possible to make it earlier, as we would SO dearly have wished, must now be implemented and without any delay. Lives and property must be safeguarded and among that property my country gives a preeminent place to the historical and spiritual capital which …
The Security Council has just adopted a resolution calling for an immediate cesse-fire and the cessation of military activities in the Near East. The Council members have thus unanimously corne out in favour of putting an immediate and decisive end to Israel’s aggression against the Arab countries.
41. The military conflict in that region has certainly not arisen without cause, As is well known,…
In our previous intervention during this debate on the grave situation in the Middle East, we stated [1343rd meeting/ that our immediate task was to use every means at our disposa1 to maintain international peace and security. We felt that the problems of the moment were SO great that we should not seek final solutions then and there, but that we should confine our efforts to avoiding an outbreak…
The calamity which all of us feared and which most of us have tried to prevent is upon us. The Secretary-General has been proved a11 too right in his assessment that the situation in the Middle East was more menacing than at any time since the fall of 19.56.
64. We note that the resolution is only a fïrst step. We believe that the Council must take advantage of the opportunity which this unanimo…
From the time the Council convened to consider the outbreak of fighting in the Middle East, my delegation, as members of the Council are aware, has engaged in a number of talks and consultations with a view to arriving at a text which might prove acceptable to a substantial majority of the Council and thereby enable this body to take effective action to hall the hostilities and to restore peace i…
On two separate occasions within the past two weeks, 1 have expressed the very grave concern of my Government regarding the situation in the Near East, and urged the Governments concerned to exercise maximum restraint, scrupulously avoiding any action of any kind which might lead to a further deterioration of the then already very grave situation, It was most unfortunate that, despite our clearly…
The delegation of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria voted in favour of the draft resolution calling for an immediate cesse-fire. The very terms of the draft text indicate that it is only a first step towards halting the brutal aggression launched by extremist circles in Israel against the United Arab Republic, the Syrian Arab Republic and Jordan.
73. In adopting this draft resolution the Securit…
My dehsgation would like, at the outset, to pay its tribute of mourning for the victims of the surprise attack recently directed against the United Arab Republic. It also mourns the death of Indian and Brazilian citizens who laid down their lives in the service of the United Nations. We wish to convey to the people and to the Governments of India and Brazil, through the intermediary of the distin…
My delegation heartily welcomes the resolution. It is our sincere conviction that in a conflict such as the one going on in the Middle East, there cari be no victors. In the present circumstances, the first order of business for the Security CounciI is obviously to arrange for a cesse-fïre. There are, of course, deep-rooted and complex problems still awaiting solution. 1 hope that with the cesse-…
1 should like to make a very brief explanation of my delegation’s vote.
87. Speaking in Parliament in New Delhi earlier today, my Prime Minister said:
“The world today faces a disastrous war in West Asia. The armed forces of Israel and those of the United Arab Republic and other Arab countries are locked in combat and the situation becomes graver by the hour. If not stopped, this war is likely …
The President
There are no more representatives who wish to explain their votes, and 1 should like now, in the name of DENMARK, to say a few words. Since this is meant to be an explanation of vote, 1 cari indeed be brief, In Denmark we believe in the peaceful settlement of disputes. As a member of the Security Council, we feel it our obligation to contribute to the realization of the Council’s primary purpose:…
1 am impelled to exercise this right of reply to the statement just made by the Foreign Minister of Iraq, who is a man well known to a11 of us and who deservedly enjoys a very great and eminent reputation here at the United Nations. Nevertheless, I must reject as completely unfounded what he has just said. And 1 should like to do that by reference to the record, which is well known to evcry membe…
Mr. President, when you tïrst assumed the Presidency of this important body of the United Nations, you started your, SO to speak, maiden speech by quoting a poet from your own country. In doing SO, you indeed placed politics against its human background. For unless and until politics is SO understood, we Will always go on dealing with shadow concepts. It is only against a background of culture, a…
The President
The representative of the United Kingdom has asked to exercise his right of reply, and 1 now call on him.
245. That is the policy laid down by my Government, publicly laid down and scrupulously followed.
240, Lord CARADON (United Kingdom): 1 shall not keep the Council long in dealing with the accusations that were made by the representative of Syria just now. But when a specifrc allegation is m…
The President
The last speaker on my list is the representative of Morocco. 1 now invite him to take a place at the Council table and to make his statement.
Thank you, Mr. President, for allowing me to speak. 1 must first say how apologetic 1 feel about taking the floor at this late hour, after the permanent members of the Security Council have assured the President that their interventions would be brief. But just as 1 must beg the Council’s indulgence for the reason just mentioned, SO 1 must crave indulgence for this intervention, which 1 hope to k…
The President
1 said in my initial statement that, 1 was confident that 1 expressed the unanimous wish of the members of the Council in most urgently appealing to the parties to comply immediately with the provisions of this resolution. 1 cari give the representative of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics the assurance that 1 Will take the necessary measures and steps in order to see that, on OUI side, eve…
