The President
A number of representatives have asked to speak, following the voting, and I shall now call on them.
Mr. Al-Shaikhly
Iraq has once again refrained from participating in the voting on the extension of the mandate of UNEF in the Sinai. We believe that every extension of the mandate of the Force is providing the Israeli aggressors with more time to consolidate their occupation. The Zionists continue to persist in their notorious policy of “creating new facts” by establishing new settlements and colonies in the occ…
Mr. Lecompt
The question before us falls within a familiar framework-too familiar indeed, underlining vicissitudes of this questiondf our efforts to find a settlement in the Middle East. These efforts constitute the contribution which the international community, like the parties directly concerned, expect of us in a situation which threatens international peace and security. It has been our responsibility, …
Mr. Richard
My delegation was very pleased to vote for the draft resolution which we have just adopted renewing the mandate of UNEF for a further year. As the Secretary-General put it in his report, the presence of UNEF remains essential not only to help maintain the cease-fire called for in resolution 338 (1973), but also to assist in the implementation of the new agreement concluded between Israel and Egyp…
Mr. Saito
My delegation voted for the draft resolution. We are fully satisfie,d with the Council’s decision of today. We also wish to express our satisfaction and appreciation over Egypt’s action in’ consenting to the extension of the mandate ,of UNEF for one year. The fact that UNEF’s mandate has been extended for a year this time, instead of for three or six months as in previous cases, reassures us that…
Mr. Malik
The Security Council is once again discussing the question of extending the mandate of UNEF in the Middle East, a Force which, as is well known, was created by resolution 340 (1973) of the Council to ensure the ceasefire and prevent a resumption of hostilities and thus speed up the achievement of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, on the basis of United Nations decisions and primarily t…
Mr. Moynihan
The renewal today of UNEF’s mandate for a period of one year, and its continuing role as envisaged in the Secretary-General’s report, is an essential part of the process leading towards a viable solution to the conflict in the Middle East. Together, with the Agreement signed by Egypt and Israel on 4 September, it presents us with an opportunity that we must not miss. This is the opportunity to mo…
Mr. LAI Ya-ii
contributing to the quest for a solution to this
During the general debate at the current session of the distressing problem of the Middle East.
General Assembly, the Chinese Minister for Foreign 62. Mr. JACKSON (Guyana): The draft resolution Affairs already expounded in a comprehensive way we have just adopted extends the mandate of UNEF the Chinese Government’s position on the Middle East que…
Mr. Oyono
The United Republic of Cameroon has just voted in favour of the draft resolution, by’which the Security Council ‘has’renewed for one year the mandate of UNEF stationed in the Egypt- Israel sector. Our reasons for that are sufficiently well known to everyone here to make it unnecessary for us to emphasize the concern that we feel regarding the very unstable and potentially explosive situation whic…
Mr. Vinci
The important decision taken by the Security Council this morning to renew for one whole year the mandate of UNEF seems to indicate that circumstances and conditions have somewhat improved. Recalling those hard-working and anxious days last July when the previous renewal for three months was negotiated, I feel in duty bound to express the satisfaction of my Government at the betterment of the sit…
Mr. Tchernouchtchenko
In the course of this year the Security Council has for the third time now had occasion to consider the question of renewing the mandate of UNEF in the Middle East. Unfortunately one thing can be said today: the situation in the Middle East remains complicated and explosive. In practice, because of the position of the aggressor, no steps have been taken which would demonstrate that the relevant d…
Mr. Salazar
My delegation is most pleased that the Security Council has adopted the draft resolution, and - for our part we are pleased to have been able to contribute by our vote, to-its adoption.
96. In the context of the turbulent events which have been occurring in the course of the last quarter of a century in the Middle East, the recent Sinai Agreement which was signed between Egypt and Israel is the …
Mr. Salim
My delegation was pleased to vote for the draft resolution. We did so in the hope that the extension of the mandate would provide yet another opportunity to intensify efforts towards a just and lasting solution of the Middle East conflict, a solution which must entail the total withdrawal of Israeli forces from all the Arab territories under their military occupation and the recognition of the in…
The President
With the permission of the Council I should now like to make a brief statement as representative of the Government of SWEDEN.
