The President
A number of representatives had indicated their wish to speak after the vote, and I shall now call on them.
Mr. LA1 Ya-li
In our statement in the Security Council on 16 December [1865th meeting], the Chinese delegation stated our position on the’ question of East Timor. In a nutshell, we are of the view that FRETILIN already proclaimed the independence of East Timor and the founding of the Democratic Republic of East Timor on 28 November this year and that this has reflected the aspirations of the people of East Tim…
Mr. Oyono
The delegation of the United Republic of Cameroon voted in favour of draft resolution S/11915, which the Security Council has just unanimously adopted in connexion with the situation which has arisen and which still prevails in East Timor as a result of the tragic events which recently occurred there.
17. In so doing, the Council, as the outcome of the lengthy and difftcult consultations which i…
Mr. Sanders
When my Foreign Minister, Comrade Frederick R. Wills, addressed the General Assembly a few weeks ago, he said then:
“Guyana follows with keen interest the struggle for independence of the people of East Timor. We have always upheld the policy that all peoples should be given the opportunity to chart their own course for development without external interference of any sort. In this respect, we s…
Mr. Rydbeck
Recent developments in East Timor have once again demonstrated the difficulties and risks inherent in the process of decolonization. The transition from colonial status to independence is not only a period of high expectations for the people concerned but also a period of vulnerability and insecurity. This transition also creates new political patterns in the region concerned, with both opportuni…
Mr. Saito
My delegation voted in favour of draft resolution S/11915, which has just been adopted unanimously. Although the resolution does not seem to fully satisfy all delegations, we feel relieved to see the Council unanimously take practical action to dispose of the situation in East, Timor. In adopting the present resolution the Council has requested the Secretary-General to send a special representati…
Mr. Salazar
The resolution that has just been adopted has, in the view of my delegation, the merit of imparting a legal character to the connexion between the Security Council and the problems that have recently occurred in East Timor; however, my delegation shares with the parties most directly concerned in the problem a feeling of dissatisfaction because of the opinions contained therein. This dissatisfact…
Mr. Kane
We have now reached the end of our work, at least for the time being, after a number of days of pooling our thoughts on a question whose importance can escape no one. For more than two weeks now, with the assitance of the parties concerned, the Security Council has sought ways and means of reconciling the application of certain principles contained in the Charter which, in relation to the present…
Mr. Salim
My delegation has already made its position clear on the substance of the matter when I addressed the Council on 18 December [1867th meeting]. There will, therefore, be no need for me to make a lengthy explanation of vote since it is our view that the resolution which the Council has adopted falls in line with the spirit of the position we have articulated.
73. In my statement I had then conclud…
Mr. Lecompt
The French delegation is extremely pleased that the Security Council has unanimously adopted the draft resolution. It would like to pay a tribute to the efforts made by all, and in particular by the representatives of the non-aligned States members of the Council, to conciliate existing views so as to permit tne submission of a well-balanced text. This balance in fact is what we believe to be the…
Mr. Tchernouchtchenko
The delegation of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic voted in favour of the resolution on the question of East Timor which was adopted by the Security Council today. This item which has been
101. In recent years there have occurred in the international arena considerable and positive changes, marked by the further extension of the process of international detente in various concrete form…
The President
I should now like to make a statement in my capacity as representative of the UNITED KINGDOM. My delegation voted in favour of draft resolution S/11915, now Security Council resolution 384 (1975), which is the outcome, as members of the Council know, of prolonged consultations last Friday between various groups.
119. I do not know whether we 15 will be meeting again in this chamber. I am sure I …
The President
I thank Mr. Horta for the statement he has made to the Council. In accordance with the Council’s usual procedure, I now
133. Secondly, Japan is now a peaceful nation. We have no armed forces for an attack of that sort. Therefore, even though Mr. Horta insists that the Japanese army did what he has .said, present-day Japan had nothing to do with it.
134. Thirdly, even though his remarks are base…
The President
I now call on the representative of Portugal.
139. I should now like to refer to the last preambular paragraph of the resolution, which states that the Council regrets that “,the Government of Portugal did not discharge fully its responsibilities as administering Power in the Territory under Chapter XI of the Charter”. I must say in all candour that that formulation does not appear to us to be f…
Mr. Galvao Teles
A resolution has just been adopted unanimously by the Security Council. In view of the difficulties inherent in the question and the gap between the various views expressed in the Council, we believe that this result has been possible only because of the devotion and efforts of the delegations of all the States members of the -Council. But it must be emphasized-and I do so with the greatest pleas…
The President
The last speaker at this afternoon’s meeting is the representative of Indonesia, on whom I now call.
Mr. Anwar San1
When I first spoke before the Council, I expressed my conviction that under your competent guidance, Mr. President, this august body would be able to make a constructive contribution to the solution of the question of East Timor. Now that this series of meetings has come to a close, I should like to express the sincere thanks and appreciation of my delegation to you and to the other members of th…
