Speeches following this vote (20)
The President
I shall now call on those representatives who have indicated their desire to explain their vote after the voting. The first speaker on my list is the representative of the United States of America.
I
v 7. Mr. GOLDBERG (United States of America): In my statement of 21 March I sought to make as clear as possible the position of my Government in the Council’s consideration of the contents of the l…
Mr. Solano Lopez
At the 1403rd meeting, held on Thursday evening, 21 March, I expressed my delegation’s concern at the grave events that had taken place that day on Jordanian territory, east of the River Jordan. I said that I deplored the violation of the cease-fire, as I had previously deplored other violent incidents and violations of the cease-fire that
had occurred in the area of the Israel-Jordan sector. I …
Mr. De Carvalho Silos
I should like to place on record the following explanation of vote.
47. My delegation supported the resolution just adopted because the text takes into account the two main points which were stressed in the statement that I made here on 21 March. In that statement I emphasized the necessity for condemning in a very clear-cut way the large-scale military operation undertaken by Israel on the east…
Mr. Ignatieff
I should like, Sir, very briefly to explain the vote of the Canadian delegation on the resolution which, under your patient and wise Ieadership, has been adopted unanimously.
42. And here in this Council there have been important statements, and if I were to select one I think that I might choose the statement made by the Soviet Ambassador who told us in clear, simple, forthright language earlie…
Mr. Shah1
Although the three sponsors of the draft resolution contained in document S/8498 of 23 March agreed not to press their text to a vote, there are some facts in this connexion which I should like to put on the record. That is necessary in view of the circumstances surrounding the adoption of the final agreed text. 2
56. The three delegations-that is, India, Senegal and Pakistan-submitted their dra…
Mr. Bouattoura
My delegation had no intention of speaking, now that the Council’s discussion of Israel’s aggression of 21 March 1968 has culminated in a unanimous vote. However, in view of the remarks we have heard tonight, I deem it a duty to make the following statement.
6.5. If we attempt to sum up the situation to which the Council has been devoting its attention for the past few days, we must note that th…
Mr. Csatorday
The Hungarian delegation voted in favour of the resolution that has just been adopted and which was the result of a long debate and even longer consultations during which members of the Council and other Members of our Organization have given testimony concerning the events in the Middle East. The facts have been established objectively and, on the basis of those facts it became perfectly clear t…
Mr. Berard
Any country which, like my own, underwent during the last World War the terrible experience of military occupation of part or all of its territory, with all that this involves in the way of suffering and inevitable reaction, knows that a clear distinction must be drawn between military operations carried out with deliberate intent and carefully prepared by a Government, and acts which are perpetr…
The President
I call cn the representative of Iraq.
“Any resolution which . . . tries to confuse the issue by introducing the question of the so-called terrorists can only encourage the aggressors to undertake similar actions in the future and undermine the authority of this Organization and the resolutions of the Security Council.” 11405th meeting, para, 57, J
95. Are we therefore to gather from this that t…
Mr. Benhima
The Council will recall that, immediately after the voting on resolution 242 of 22 November 1967, some delegations asked to speak in order to give an interpretation of the text which had just been voted upon. Today we are faced with a situation which is identical not only as regards the formal sequence of events in the Council but also as regards the reasons which presumably have induced certain …
Mr. Tekoah
Our debate has now come to a close and the Security Council has adopted a resoIution which refers to both the Israel and Jordanian complaints on the agenda. The Security Council had before it two complaints. Some statements made in the course of debate and the draft resolution distributed in document S/8498 suggested that the Council deal only with one of them. Two States came to the Council for …
The President
I now call on the representative of Jordan,
135. Mr, ELFARRA (Jordan): At the very outset I should like to pay a tribute to you, Mr. President, for having convened promptly the first meeting of the Council on this item and for your consideration in ensuring that the item, so important to Jordan, would be discussed without any interruption other than for fruitful and constructive consultations.
…
The President
I Cal1 on the representative of Pakistan in the exercise of his right of reply.
Mr. Shah1
I was rather surprised that the representative of Israel referred to the draft resolution. contained in document S/8498, when India, Pakistan and Senegal had made every effort to arrive at unanimity and had refrained from introducing that draft resolution in order to enable the Council to act with unanimity.
“Emphasizes to Israel that actions of military reprisal cannot be tolerated and that, if…
The President
I call on the representative of the Soviet Union who wishes to exercise his right of reply.
Mr. Malik
I shall not answer the slanderous statement of the Israel representative, but I cannot overlook his attempts to distort the position of the Soviet Government.
167. The Security Council condemned Israel’s new act of aggression against Jordan, and no verbal subterfuges, justifications or excuses can wipe away that stain of disgrace. Therefore, if someone wants to interpret the resolution in such a…
The President
I call on the representative of the United States who wishes to speak in the exercise of his right of reply.
172. Mr, GOLDBERG (United States of America): I shall exercise my right of reply very briefly. I do not want to prolong this debate as the hour is late, but it is really to try to set the record straight. In our discussions here it has, as I said in my original intervention, been a source…
The President
I call upon the representative of the United States who wishes to exercise his right of reply.
Mr. Goldberg
If it is not impolite, I will say that that is the traditional way of drawing a red herring across a subject. As far as we are concerned, we accept the resolution, we support it in full measure, we will do everything we can to support Mr. Jarring’s mission, and we would hope the Soviet Union would do likewise. We do not accept the Soviet interpreta. tion of the resolution. We made that crystal cl…
The President
I call on the representative of the Soviet Union on a point of order,
