Speeches following this vote (20)
The President
I shall now call on those representatives who have indicated a desire to speak following the vote.
44. Lord CARADON (United Kingdom): When I first spoke in this debate I asked that we should undertake a full and careful review of past action and future opportunities. I did not deny the practical difficulties or the real limitations. I restated them. But I greatly hoped that there would be a read…
Mr. Shah1
The views of the Pakistan delegation on the question of ending the threat to
74.. Paragraphs 8, 9 and 10 of the resolution relate to emigration to Southern Rhodesia, further measures under Article 4 1 of the Charter and the withdrawal of all consular and trade representation in the Territory. My delegation would have preferred more categorical or mandatory provisions.
66. In particular, we expr…
The President
I thank the representative of Pakistan, our friend and colleague Ambassador Shahi, for his comments, and particularly for what he had to say about me. It is a mark of the friendship which Ambassador Shahi has displayed for me throughout our common service together. I can only appropriately say at this time that I reciprocate that friendship in full measure.
Mr. Rerard
The French delegation has followed the debates in the Council on the subject of Southern Rhodesia most attentively and has carefully studied the draft resolutions which have been submitted.
88. We share to a considerable extent the feelings which prompted the sponsors of the draft resolution submitted to
US, on behalf of five African and Asian delegations, by the Ethiopian representative. Like …
The President
I should like to say a few words about the fact that we proceeded to the vote today.
101. The draft resolution contained in document S/8601, which was circulated officially this afternoon for the first time, was the result of broad, intensive and lengthy consultations stretching over a period of weeks. It was against that background of widespread consultations, combined with a sense of urgency t…
Mr. Boye
My delegation has already given its views on the question of Southern Rhodesia and I shall therefore not repeat them today. However, although we have just voted in favour of the draft resolution, my delegation is not completely satisfied, for we should have liked the sanctions to be more complete. The illegal regime in Southern Rhodesia and those who assist it, particularly the Government of Sout…
The President
I wish to thank Ambassador Parthasarathi for his warm and generous remarks directed to me. They reflect his kindly and sympathetic nature, so characteristic of his great country. I have enjoyed our close co-operation as colleagues in very critical times and look forward to a continuing and warm friendship, notwithstanding my departure from my present post.
Mr. Ignatieff
In explanation of the vote of the Canadian delegation, I need to add little to what I have already said, on 20 March, on Canadian policy regarding the Rhodesia question.
116. The objective of the United Nations, which is also the Canadian objective, has been put succinctly and well by the Secretary-General in the meantime in a press statement read on his behalf in London on 3 April at a dinner f…
The President
I thank Ambassador Ignatieff for what he has said. In view of the fact that several of the delegations have said such nice things about me, I am impelled to say that I wish my mother and father were here, because my mother would have believed all the nice things my colleagues have said about me, and my father would have appreciated them.
Mr. Csatorday
Mr. President, first of all I wish to express my appreciation for the personal touch which has characterized your relations with your colleagues and has facilitated the settlement of difficult problems. I must admit that we have disagreed a number of times, but that did not affect our personal contacts and, in fact, your personality has helped to bridge the gap existing between political position…
The President
I wish to thank the representative of Hungary for his kind remarks. I have never conceived that differences between Governments-which are, perhaps, inevitable, certainly understandable, and which we all work to minimize and often to eliminate-should affect the very cordial relations that should and do exist between their
representatives here. I have enjoyed those relations with the representativ…
Mr. Borch
Denmark has voted for the resolution in the belief that the Security Council has thereby taken a significant step towards independence for Southern Rhodesia under constitutional government and majority role. The Council has thus once again manifested its protest against the illegal minority r&me in Salisbury, against its systematic policies of separate racial development, and against its increasi…
The President
I thank you very much, Ambassador Borch, for your very warm remarks. I had two thoughts in mind as I heard them, I became a little worried when yo‘u mentioned a book. It is rather dangerous for Permanent Representatives, present or putative, to write books. Also, since you mentioned Adlai Stevenson, I was
reminded of one of his remarks. He said that he did not mind a little praise provided it wa…
The President
I thank you very much, Ambassador Makonnen. I must say that I am really at a loss for words to express my appreciation for the warmth of what you have said, not only on this occasion, but on other occasions as well when we have had the, opportunity to work together. I am deeply appreciative, not only of this expression, but of all you have done throughout the last three years to make me feel that…
The President
I thank Lord Caradon very much for what he has said. I did not quite understand the implication of his remark, but I thank him anyway.
Mr. Boye
When I took the floor just now to explain my vote I found myself in the same position as that of my colleagues of Denmark and Ethiopia in failing to realize that this might be the last time we would see you sitting.at this table. In any event, the elegant and noble gesture of Lord Caradon gives me an opportunity today to tell you of the high esteem in which my country, my Government and I myself …
The President
I thank you, Ambassador Boye, for what you have said. You and I have shared common experiences and a common dedication to the same ideals, and I am deepy appreciative of what you have said.
161. The next speaker on my list is the representative of China, Ambassador Liu, also a friend who has worked with me for three years in many situations, and it is with pleasure that I call on him.
Mr. LIU
As far as the position of my delegation on the Rhodesian question is concerned, it was made quite clear in my statement on 26 March, at the 1408th meeting of the Council, and I therefore do not find it necessary to reiterate it.
163. Whatever may have been said about the resolution we have just adopted, my delegation believes that it is a great step forward in dealing with the situation in Rhode…
The President
I thank you, Ambassador Liu, very much for what you said and how you said it. I am running out of words with which to reply, so you will forgive me if I just say: thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
166. The next speaker is the representative of Paraguay, our colleague and friend, Ambassador Solano Lopez.
Mr. Solano Lopez
I had not intended to speak at this meeting until I suddenly became aware that this was indeed a unique opportunity to pay tribute to you, Mr. President, for your co-operation and for the great contribution you have made to the United Nations as a whole and to the Security Council in particular.
168. My feelings at this moment are mixed: on the one hand, I am gratified that we have unanimously a…
