Conscious of its responsibility for taking effective collective measures to forestall and eliminate threats to international peace and security,

Concerned about the serious situation created by the shelling of the village of Samine in the southern region of Senegal,
Deeply concerned at the fact that incidents from the Begene base jeopardize international peace and security,

1. Strongly condemns the Portuguese colonial authorities for the shelling of the village of Samine, which on 25 November 1969 caused one death and seriously wounded eight persons, and completely destroyed two houses;
2. Again calls upon Portugal to desist forthwith from violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Senegal;
