Lleras lectures' UN membersBy a staff correspondent of
The Christian Science Monitor
United Nations, N.Y.
Colombia's Carlos Lleras Restrepo, a for-mer delegate to the United Nations now be-come^Kesident of his country, was payinga noi. J|ic visit to the UN.
Reputed as an intellectual and business-man who has the capacity to drop slow-burning semantic time bombs, he addressedthe Security Council informally and let offa few subtle salvos of criticism.
The criticism .was not so much of the UNas an organization as it was of the memberswho1"'constitute it.

Socialist leadersshare a laugh
Israeli Premier Golda Meir enjoys a jokewith British Prime Minister Harold Wilson(left) and West German Foreign MinisterWilly Brandt. They were caught in this re-laxed mood outside the conference hall inEastbourne where they attended the Social-ist International Congress.
President Lleras had just come from con-versations with President Nixon about ecp-.nomic matters in Latin America. He didrnot refer to the Rockefeller mission as such,but expressed the view that the widening ofthe gap between the rich and less-developed'countries could lead to war.
'Economic disparity' cited"Let us not be mistaken," he observed^
"that the increasing economic disequilibrium'is the cause of major alarm for the peaceof the world . . . and that the danger iseven greater because the economic dis-'parity among nations is greater."
He rather shook the Nationalist Chinese'delegation next to which he was sitting^when he expressed the view that the coun-^cil should drop all barriers for admissionof nations to the UN. Communist China1!'"not a UN member, has been termed a non*:
peace-loving nation, not at all anxious tojoin, and potentially disruptive. These ob-jections have had almost as much weightin excluding it from the UN as has thequestion of what to do with NationalistChina should Communist China receive aUN seat.
' t
Arms control stressedHe expressed dismay at what he termed!
the "peripheral" nature of discussions ofdisarmament and arms control in Geneva.
He opened his address with the observa-tion that while no one today believes such acomplex mechanism as the UN "is free ofgrave flaws," he felt nevertheless that theUN is "irreplaceable and that it constitutes,,in the history of mankind, the most persist-ent of the efforts made to give internationalrelations a juridical order, to maintainpeace, and to create forms of cooperation-that would advance" mankind.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SECURITY COUNCILHELD ON 16 JUNE 1969
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL
The PRESIDENT (interpretation from Spanish): With, the unanimous consent
of the members of the Security Council, this special meeting has been convened
with the sole purpose of hearing the statement to be made by His Excellency
Dr. Carlos Lleras Restrepo, President of the Republic of Colombia, to make known
the views of his Government on certain aspects of the maintenance of international
peace and security. In accordance with the provisions of the Charter of the
United Nations, the maintenance of international peace and security is the primary
responsibility of the Security Council.
On behalf of the Security Council and its members, I greet the presence in the
Security Council Chamber of the President of the Republic of Colombia a,nd give the
most warm welcome to His Excellency Dr. Carlos Lleras Restrepo. He is so widely
Known that any endeavour on my part even to sum up his background and his biography
at this moment would be superfluous. Suffice it to point out that his reputation
as a statesman long ago went beyond the frontiers of his own country and is known
throughout the world.
This meeting today is a meeting of singular importance since it is the first
time In the history of the Security Council that It is the Head of a Government
of a member of the Council that represents his own State. Therefore his words,
which we await with unreserved interest, are the words of the highest and most
accurate spokesman for Colombia.
The honour falls to the representative of Paraguay - that' is, the other Latin
American member of the Security Council - to be President of the Council during the
month of June. Therefore, this honour falls to me and I am proud to preside over
this special meeting. In accordance with that representation and the position

(llie President:)
I occupy, I would wish to take advantage of the prerogative::; that practice r.au
accorded the President to add a few comments in the fulfilment of a duty that i;.;
at; unavoidable as it is close to ny heart and feelings,
Colombia and Paraguay, Paraguay and Colombia, are linked by ties of ancient
and cordial friendship that have never been diismed, not even by the passing
difficulties which occasionally separate brothers in history, brothers in the
present, and brothers in the hope of a common destiny.
There are many enlightening examples that proclaim this friendchip and I
shall not attempt to mention them, but I should not, I cannot and I will not
silence mj< expression of the debt of gratitude which Paraguay owes to Colombia.
In the hours of the greatest distress in my country when, after five years of cruel
struggle, of a tenacious struggle in the defence of our homes, our sovereignty,
our rights and our territorial integrity, the Paraguayan nation was sorely tried
and we saw lowering over the Guarani lands the night of a dark and dreadful future,
it was the voice of Colombia,, the voice of the Congress of Coloi.ibia, through it;:
decree 78 of 27 June 1870 - precisely ninety-nine years ago - that was raised;
powerful and at one with us, and, bridging the distance, reached the very heart
of the Paraguayan people.
I repeat, on behalf of the Security Council, our greetings and our warm
welcome to His Excellency Carlos Lleras Restrepo, President of the Republic of
Colombia; I am happy now to call upon him.
ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY CARLOS LLERAS RESTREPO, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OFCOLOMBIA
President Lleras RESTREFQ (interpretation from Spanish): Mr. President,
members of the Security Council, Mr. Secretary-General, may I express to you my
thanks for having been kind enough to convene a meeting in order to allow me to
address the Council.
Even during the periods when the United nations has lived through grave
moments of confusion or impotence, I have always had confidence in the excellence
of the principle that underlay its creation. I believe it to be irreplaceable
and, in the history of mankind, it constitutes the most persistent of all efforts
made to place international relations under a juridical order, to maintain peace
S/9259EnglishPage 3
(President Lleras Restrepo)
and to create forms of co-operation to improve the material, cultural and moral
level of all nations.
I am sure that today no one believes that the complex machinery of which
the Security Council is an essential part is devoid of serious flaws. But its
functioning has many times shown positive results. The General Assembly and the
Security Council have furthermore been the unique forums in which the various
countries have been able to express their own views and in those two bodies the
most serious af problems have been examined.
Those of us who believe that the world should continue to advance towards
ever more perfect forms of peaceful and co-operative organizations should not
despair in the face of certain abnormal situations. We know very well that the
path towards the rule of authentic international law with freely acceptable
norms, with machinery capable of ensuring its fulfilment, is necessarily a long
one and it is not easy to avoid mistrust, fear, egotism; and that path is disturbed
by ambitions of hegemony. Neither are we unaware of the fact that adequate
co-operation born of the unlimited recognition of human solidarity is an arduous
task. But we cherish the conviction that all nations, large, medium or small,
are equally bound to seek to perfect our Organization because on it depends
the fate of the universe. Nothing can replace it. Its destruction or its
progressive decadence would constitute the most tragic failure,
When in January of 19 -6 on behalf of Colombia I had the honour of addressing
the first General Assembly of the United Nations, I pointed out that the
collaboration demanded by the major Powers of other nations when allowing them to
enter the system implied the express recognition of the power and value of free
ideas, based on just principles of international morality, even though they be
upheld by unarmed nations. That moral strength must be made constantly felt in
order to redress the flaws in the Charter of San Francisco, in order to point
out abnormal situations that contradict the principles of the Charter, in order
to re-establish or assist in the effective re-establishment of peace in those
regions where peace has been shattered. Moreover, that spirit must overcome, with
opportune measures of co-operation, the situations of danger that are born out of
the present disparities in economic development.
3/9259EnglishPage k
(President Lleras Restrepo)
I believe that the fear of what might "be considered as a diplomatic disaster,
as well as the persistent view that one must be realistic and not ask for
solutions that may be rejected by the strong nations, have sapped the desires cf
many Member States and stood in the way of their advancing a policy that might
be termed more imaginative and independent. Nevertheless, the mission of
countries such as the one I have the honour to lead should be that of unremitting
endeavours so that gradually we shall completely abide by all the rules of
international law and gradually a deep feeling of solidarity will replace the
struggle of opposing interests, of Imposing decisions by force and of those
economic systems which, through uncontrolled activities, increase the existing
disparities„ Our only defence lies in compliance with those norms; in a system
of universal law to protect each of us equally; in accepting as a true obligation,
the need to co-operate in order to do away with the obstacles that keep the
majority of the world's population at a deplorably low standard of living.
With that view in mind, and with the indulgence of members of the Council;
I should like to say a few words here regarding the role played by the United
Nations within the present historic circumstances. These are perhaps not very
original concepts; today these views are heard from many people. It is therefore,
surprising that their influence is not sufficiently strong to guide international
life and to facilitate the activities of those organizations dealing with It.
The creation of the United Nations, and particularly of this Security Council,
was due primarily to the resolve in the Preamble of the Charter:
"to unite our strength to maintain International peace and security, and
to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods,
that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest".
It is clear from that text that there was no desire to return to those days
of a precarious peace born of a balance of power or of the distribution of areas
under the exclusive influence of one or another of the great Powers.
With a truly realistic view, the Charter did not once and for all abolish
certain armaments or limit others. Instead, in accordance with Article 11, it
gave the General Assembly the power to consider those principles which regulate
disarmament and arms control, as well, as the power to make recommendations
regarding such matters to the members of the Security Council.
S/9259EnglishPage 5
(President Lleras Eestrepo)
Further on, Article 2.6} which appears to have been written in order to avoid
precisely what is happening in the world today, states that:
"- "In order to promote the establishment and maintenance of international
peace and security with the least diversion for armaments of the world's
human and economic resources, the Security Council shall be responsible
for formulating... plans to be submitted to the Members of the United
Nations for the establishment of a system for the regulation of armaments."
Today the world wonders., when considering the question of the maintenance of
world peace and the precarious and only partial peace in which we live., what
holds greater sway: the existence of a juridical organization which should seek
the peaceful solution of disputes and conflicts, or the policy of deterrence,
which in the final analysis is nothing more than a strategy of terror.
Unfortunately, we must conclude that the balance is in favour of the accumulation
of weapons - weapons possessing a terrifying power of destruction - rather than
in favour of a general consensus on accepting peaceful solutions. Daily we hear
discussion of new investments which are deemed necessary to carry out this tragic
and ruinous arms race.
It is true that some efforts are being made, especially regarding the
non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, which give rise to some hope. But, as one
United States newspaper recently stated, the conversations which have taken place
in Geneva are merely peripheral in character, and far from reaching the crux of
the problem. Moreover, not all those nations capable of using nuclear power in
war are participating in those talks.
The simple physical consequences, not of the use of atomic weapons but merely
of their testing, can affect the lives of millions of people who are not involved
in the rivalries of the major Powers. On the basis of that circumstance alone
we have the right to demand and obtain full guarantees that these weapons will
not be used, and, furthermore, it justifies the efforts of the Security Council
and the Geneva Conference. One cannot help wondering whether, even with all
these efforts, it is not time the Security Council or the General Assembly
intensified its activities to regulate disarmament and put an end to the testing
of new forms of destruction whose danger is evident. "Peripheral" negotiations
S/9259EnglishPage 6
(President Lleras Restrepo)
on nuclear weapons are not sufficient. Chemical warfare and bacteriological
warfare are spoken of in a frightenly natural manner. We all know that the
talents of those persons occupied in the arms race could better be used in the
service of mankind's well-being; and that immense financial resources are
invested in the manufacture of weapons. The strategy of terror - an absurd
alternative to juridical organization - is seen on all sides. Without being
Utopian, one could envisage that the small- and medium-sized nations could well
take the initiative so that the Council might give more systematic attention to
Article 26 of the Charter and; in accordance with Article 1, take the necessary
collective measures to prevent what constitutes a real threat to peace - a threat
that not only affects one group of nations that might eventually be involved in
a war-like situation but also is a threat to the general peace of the world,
It is worth noting that the arms race of the major Powers is accompanied by
other activities which to a greater or lesser extent affect other nations: the
extension of a vast espionage network over land, seas and skies; the many
instances of instigation of subversive movements; and. the practice cf various
forms of intervention in internal affairs.
Undoubtedly,, if the proper attention were given to Article 26, we should
immediately see the need to modify other aspects of the existing Organisation,,
A year ago, when I was addressing the Congress of my country on the international
situation, I had occasion to say the following:
"Probably it would still appear Utopian to speak of a great reform
that would open without reservation the Organization of the United Nations
to all the countries of the world,, that would establish more effective
procedures for obtaining peaceful solutions of conflicts and that would
endow the international Organization with a truly collective power. But
the spectacle of the present impotence in the face of a situation from
which none cf the parties involved can find an easy way out" - I was
referring to the Viet-Nam war - "clearly indicates the problems of an
international organization."
Among those problems, as can be gathered from what I have just stated, is
that involving Article k. To open the doors of the Organization to all countries
S/9259EnglishPage 7
(President Ileras Restrepo)
of the world appears today as one of the primary conditions to enable the United
Eat ions and,, in particular, this Council adequately to attain the goals set out
in the Charter. It is easy, therefore, to understand why this Organization,
starting with the very first meeting in San Francisco, was not given that so
obviously essential characteristic of universality. The Organization was born
from a war and still reflects all the circumstances that surrounded its birth,
But those circumstances have now greatly changed. To leave in the hands of Member
States the admission or rejection, on the basis of the recommendation of the
Security Council, of the application of another State, and the characterization
of that State as peace-loving or otherwise, is to introduce a political element
which is gravely disturbing to the international juridical mechanism.
As is the case with all juridical organizations,, the United Nations too was
created to seek ways to settle conflicts of interests. But if some are not
permitted to come under the common rule, they obviously then must stand outside
the pale of international jurisdiction, and many conflicts will thus remain
outside the competence of this Organization. Experience has shown that the
provisions of Article 32 for participation in the deliberations of the Security
Council by non-Members of the United Nations have also failed to produce workable
solutions for very grave problems.
Armed peace as a substitute for voluntary submission to an international
juridical order has vitiated the terms of Article 26, which seeks to limit the
diversion of human and economic resources to armaments. It is this too that has
stood in the way of effective application of Chapters IX and X of the Charter.
Article 55 clearly recognizes that peaceful and friendly relations among nations
call for the taking of certain measures for stability and welfare. For this
reason it was clear that some relationship had to be 'established between the
Security Council and the Economic and Social Council, and that relationship was
in fact established. I do not believe it rash to say, however, that that
relationship has not been given adequate application. Naturally, in the increasing
disparity, in the absence of conditions of general and continuing welfare, lie
the germs of conflict and of future instability. In resolutions such as the one
in which the General Assembly created the~ Development Decade, that body has
S/9259EnglishPage 8
(president Lleras Restrepo)
endeavoured to impress upon the role of the United Nations all the importance
that it should have in the economic and social life of the world.
Unfortunately., we know, however, that that resolution, as was the case for
many others, has not fulfilled the intended effects. The increase of the gap
"between the rich and less developed nations is obvious. That gap has been
studied from many standpoints; from the demographic, for example, from the
economic; I wonder if that gap has been studied with sufficient far-sightedness
from the point of view of future international security. We can make no mistakes.
In the increasing economic imbalance lies the major cause of the threat to peace.
This has been the case in each nation, and we can prove this when we weigh the
origins of many of the international conflicts of the past. Now, today, the
danger is even greater since the imbalance is greater. The founders of the
United Nations, when framing the Charter of San Francisco, were not mistaken
when in their text they gave a major role to the harmonious economic and social
development of the world in order to preserve peace. But, unfortunately,
international action has not coincided duly with this ideal.
As I mentioned a few moments ago, I had the honour and the great fortune
to participate at the beginning of the activities of the United Nations. I
participated in the first session of the General Assembly and was Vice-President
of the first sessions of the Economic and Social Council. Prior to that, I also
attended many meetings that ultimately created specialized agencies. My thoughts
on the role that this Organization should play have not changed since they were
born of the principle of the basic single-mindedness of human beings.
Today, when I take advantage of the generous opportunity given me by the
Security Council to comment on certain aspects of the world situation, I believe
it might be helpful to repeat what I said more than twenty-three years ago in
the General Assembly, since rereading those words proves to me that now, when
the subjects to which I was then referring still appear constantly in the agendas
of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, we must not lose faith
in the dynamism of just causes. Therefore, members of the Council, with your
leave, I shall read those words again. At that time I said:
s/9259EnglishPage 9
(President Lleras Restrepo)
"A great task of reconstruction and development lies ahead, and it
is our imperative duty to seek formulas of mutual co-operation for the
various countries. What point will this co-operation reach before the
old egoistic policies lead it astray in the paths of imperialistic
domination? Unilateral solutions are merely palliatives and the problem
can only be solved,, I repeat,, if the democratic spirit of the great
masses which have gained political control, and the profound human
instinct of the world proletariat are faithfully reflected in the
international action of their representatives.
"The standard of living must be raised for all, for those who have
seen a reduction of that which they once enjoyed and for those who have
never "before attained the most elementary well-being. Future commercial
policy;, for example, will have to take this universal objective into
account, for there can be no question of reverting to the fierce competition
for consumer markets, and the principles of liberty must be harmonized
with the right of the young nations to share in commercial activities
when they gain access to more highly perfected methods of industrial
technique, and obtain for their raw materials and foodstuffs, prices
which bear a fair proportion to those which the manufacturing nations
receive for their own products.
"The social and economic work of the United nations cannot be, and will
not be, a mere return to the past. We are setting out from a new starting
point and moving towards an entirely new goal. The old mechanism of
international economic relations cannot be re-established without embodying
a more generous and universal concept of economic progress." (A/FV.10, P.
I further stated: (
"Everywhere the idea has arisen that the essential unity of the world
economic system ought to have as its counterpart world organizations
dealing with this economic system as an indivisible whole..,. We are
beginning to progress from the isolated conception of national economies
to the more realistic and just basis of a universal economy which has
s79259EnglishPage 10
(president Lleras Restrepo)
to be stimulated as a whole, -which ought to develop harmoniously,, and
in which the principles of solidarity,, equality and welfare can find
more complete satisfaction than they have in the past...." (ibid., pp. ]J-i-9-l;;0'
I deem it a great honour to have been permitted to address the members of
the Council today, to add one more voice to those that call, to the United 1-Iatiorj,-:
to achieve its goals of peace and human welfare. My country, at present a
member of the Security Council, offers its frank co-operation in the difficult
ana delicate tasks that fall to the Council. We have always co-operated and
have always adhered to the noble Ideals of this Organization. This attitude of
Colombia inspires rny personal adherence,, and I would add that modestly but
enthusiastically I, too, co-operated in the initial steps of the United Nation;:
and, later in much of the work done under the aegis of this Organization. May
this assurance help the Council to accept the remarks that I have made and that
you have been patient and kind enough to hear,
The PREGIEEHT (interpretation from Spanish): On behalf of the Security
Council and its members I thank His Excellency Mr. Carlos Llerac Restrepo,
President of the Republic of Colombia, for the important statement that he has
just made.
With the agreement of the members of the Council, I would request the
Secretary-General to have the verbatim record of this meeting circulated as a
Security Council document.

PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA ADDRESSES SECURITY COUNCIL
IN SPECIAL MEETING ON 16 JUNE
At a special meeting of the Security Council today, Carlos Lleras Restrepo,
President of Colombia, suggested that the small- and medium-sized nations
take the lead in having the Council submit plans for the establishment of
a system for the regulation of armaments and in taking necessary collective
measures to prevent vhat constitutes a real menace to peace.
The special meeting of the Security Council was called to hear the
address by the President of Colombia.
In making his suggestion for a lead by the smaller and medium-sized
nations regarding the. regulation of armaments, Mr. Lleras Restrepo noted
that the Security Council had not fulfilled its role under Article 26 of
the Charter,,
/Article 26 states: "In order to promote the establishment
and maintenance of international peace and security with the
least diversion for armaments of the world's human and economic
resources, the Security Council shall be responsible for
formulating, with the assistance of the Military Staff Committee
referred to in Article kj, plans to be submitted to the Members
of the United Nations for the establishment of a system for the
regulation of armaments SJJ
The President of Colombia also said that "to open the Organization
without reservations to all countries of the world appears to be today,
in effect, one of the prime conditions in order that the United Nations and,
in particular, this Council, may adequately meet the goals set in the
Charter."

- 2 - Press Release SC/308U16 June 1969
He added: "To leave it up to the Member States to admit or not, on
the "basis of the recommendation of the Security Council, another nation
and to classify it as a seeker of peace or not is to introduce a political
variable vhich is gravely disturbing to the international juridical
mechanism."
The President of Colombia, following a reference to the impotency of
the United Nations regarding the Viet-nam war, said experience had shown
that Article 32 of the Charter, relating to participation of non-Member States
in United Nations deliberations, "has not been a workable solution for
very grave problems."
On economic matters Mr. LIeras Restrepo said that the Charter, under
the provisions of Articles 26 and 55, and in relation to Chapters IX and X,
"clearly recognizes that peaceful and friendly relations among nations are
based on certain conditions of stability and general well-being."
The President of Colombia said that there had been anticipated a
relationship between the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council
on these matters and "it would not be far out of line to say that not
enough importance has been given to this relationship."
While studies had been made on the magnitude of the widening gap
between the rich and the less-developed nations, he said, "I ask myself
if it is clearly studied from the aspect of future international security."
In his opening remarks, Mr. Lleras Restrepo said nothing was capable
of replacing the United Nations, and "its destruction or its progressive decadence
will constitute the most tragic of all failures".
It appeared to him, he continued, that what could be considered as
a diplomatic disaster, as well as the persistent idea that one must be
realistic in order not to ask for solutions that might not be accepted,
had inhibited many Member nations from seeking more dynamic action, and,
at the same time, had constrained them from advancing a more imaginative
and independent policy.

Press Release SC/3081*16 June 1969
Introduction by Council President
In introducing Mr. Lleras Restrepo, the President of the Security Council,
Miguel Solano Lopez (Paraguay), said that the special meeting had been
convened, with the unanimous consent of the Council, for the sole purpose
of hearing the President of Colombia.
The President of Colombia, he said, had wished to state the views
of his country on certain aspects of international peace and security.
He observed that, under the Charter, the Council had primary responsibility
for international peace and security.
Today's events, the Council President said, were of particular
importance, since this was an occasion when a State represented on the
Council was being represented by its Head of Government.
In thanking the President of Colombia for his address, the President
of the Security Council requested that the verbatim record of the meeting
be circulated as a Security Council document.
* #*••*
- 3 - Press Release SC/308U16 June 1969
The Preamble of the Charter, he said, clearly showed that the
United Nations purpose "was not to return to those times when a precarious
peace was born from a balance of power'or from the distribution of zones
which were exclusively submitted to the predominance of one or another of
the great Powers,"
Mr. Lleras Restrepo said it must unfortunately be concluded that the
balance of the world situation was in favour of accumulation of arms,
rather than a general consensus of accepting peaceful solutions.
At Geneva, he said, the concentration in the disarmament talks was
"peripheral" in character and "the strategy of terror — an absurd alternative
to the juridical organization — is seen at every instance."
He then made his call in terms of Article 26 of the Charter on plans
to regulate armaments, pointing out that the armaments race of the major
Powers was accompanied by other activities affecting other nations, such
as "the vast extension of an espionage network over the lands, seas and
skies; the many instances of the instigation of subversive movements; and
the various forms of interference in internal affairs."
He added: "Undoubtedly, if the proper attention is given to Article 26,
we would immediately see the need to modify other aspects of the existing
Organization,"
Lir. Lleras Restrepo, in making his remarks on economic matters,
recalled a statement he had made at the General Assembly 23 years ago,
calling for an end to the old mechanism of international economic relations
and a more generous and universal distribution of the economic process."
At that time, he observed, he had said that the world was beginning to
leave behind the concept of national economies and was entering into the
domain of a more realistic and just concept of a universal economy which
must be activated in its entirety."

NOTE FOR THE FILE
Ambassador Turbay (Colombia) telephoned to inform me thatthe President of Colombia would be visiting Washington in the firsthalf of June upon invitation of President Nixon and thereafter hadthe intention of paying a visit to the Secretary-General and tothe United Nations. Ambassador Turbay was not yet in a position toconfirm the dates for his President's visit to the United Nations buthe thought that 16 or 1? June might be possible.
The Colombian President wished to take advantage of his comingto the United Nations to make a substantive statement on foreignpolicy and, since toasts at official luncheons given by theSecretary-General were by tradition very short, Ambassador Turbaywondered whether there would be another occasion for the Presidentto make a statement during his visit to the United Nations. Isuggested that a press conference could be arranged for the Presidentafter the official luncheon offered by the Secretary-General. Whilethis suggestion was acceptable to Ambassador Turbay, he neverthelesssaid he would speak with his colleagues in the Security Council inorder to explore the possibility of the Council meeting - formallyor informally - to welcome and to hear the President.
Ambassador Turbay said he would be in touch with me as thetravel plans of the Colombian President became clearer. He requestedme in the meantime to alert the Secretary-General about hisPresident's visit.

NOTE FOR THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
I have been informed that the President of the Security Council, Ambassador
Solano Lopez of Paraguay, has an appointment to see you at 11.00 o* clock this
morning in order to discuss arrangements for the convening of a meeting of the
Council during the visit to Headquarters by the President of Colombia on
16 June .
In connexion with these arrangements, I should like to recall two earlier
occasions when the Security Council scheduled a meeting to consider an item
already on its agenda but instead devoted its attention to other matters*
I refer to the 1123rd meeting, on 27 May 1964, when the provisional agenda
listed a Cambodian complaint but the Council instead paid tribute to the
memory of Prime Minister Nehru, and to the 1429th meeting, on 5 June 1968,
when the provisional agenda listed complaints on the situation in the Middle
East but the Council members expressed dismay at the assassination attempt
against Senator Robert Kennedy*
I understand9 moreover, that it is the intention of the Afro-Asian
group to ask for a meeting of the Security Council before 20 June to resume
consideration of the, question of Southern Rhodesia*

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT \I '
VThe PRESIDENT: Before proceeding to our agenda, as President of
the Security Council I wish to make a brief statement in connexion with the
tragic attempt last night on the life of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, which
today has called forth statements of sympathy and sorrow from the
Secretary-General, the President of the General Assembly and other leading
figures at the United Nations, and indeed from governmental and religious
leaders throughout the world.
Senator Kennedy, like his late brother, President John F. Kennedy,
has many times expressed his devotion to the United Nations and to its
purposes of peace. At this time, in view of the tragic event which is in
all our minds, I believe that it would be appropriate if, in the name and
on behalf of the Security Council, I, as its presiding officer, were to
send the following telegram to Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy:
"On behalf of the United Nations Security Council, and as its
President during the month of June, I wish to convey to you the sense
of shock and deep sorrow which all members feel at the grievous news of
the attempt to assassinate your husband. Senator Kennedy's support for
the United Nations and its purposes of peace is known and respected
throughout the world. All members of the Council join in hoping and
praying for him and in profound sympathy for you and for the entire
Kennedy family'.'
WR/mw S/PV.14296
Mr. FARTHASARATHI (India): The Indian delegation received the news
of the dastardly attack on Senator Robert Kennedy with a sense of profound, shock.
This cruel attempt to assassinate a great American in the prime of his life
can only be the act of a deranged person.
Senator Kennedy is held in the highest respect in my country and indeed
in all parts of the world. His dedication to peace and prosperity throughout
the world is well known. It is not often that in the political arena we come
across a personality of Senator Kennedy's sensitivity and passion for the welfare
of mankind. We hope his life will be spared and we offer our fervent prayers
for his recovery. The Kennedy family has had more than its fair share of tragedy
and suffering, and our hearts go out in sympathy to Mrs. Robert Kennedy and her
children. -
We associate ourselves with the sentiments expressed in the telegram to be
sent to Mrs. Robert Kennedy in the name of the Security Council.. I may add that
my Prime Minister has already sent a telegram of sympathy to Mrs. Kennedy.
The PRESIDENT; On behalf of my Government I thank Ambassador Parthasarathi
for his remarks.
Lord CARADQN (United Kingdom): Mr. President, I am sure that all members
of the Council would -wish you to act as you have proposed, and we thank you
for the words you have spoken to us this evening. I too should like to say a word,
if I may, about the terrible news which we received early this morning.
The evil of senseless violence has today cast a shadow of gloom over us
all. On this sad and bad day we all have more reason than ever to hate violence
with a fierce hatred and to grieve over all its evil deeds and consequences.
We in this Council have special reason today to denounce violence in all its forms
and manifestations. On behalf of my Mission, on behalf of my Government and on
behalf of the British people everywhere, I wish to convey to you, Sir, and to
your Government and people our feelings of outrage, heartfelt anxiety and
deep compassion for all those who pray today for the life of a brave man.
NR/mw S/PV.
The PRESIDENT; On behalf of my Government I thank Lord Caradon for
what he has said.
Mr. SHAKE (Pakistan): .The Pakistan delegation associates itself with
the sentiments of shock and grief that, have been expressed at this meeting by
my colleagues and with your message, Mr. President, to the family of
Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
At this hour, when the people of rny country are filled with horror at the
heinous crime and are following with hope and anxiety Senator Robert Kennedy's
battle for life it is my sorrowful duty to express the deepest sympathy of my
Government to his brave lady, to the other members of his illustrious family and
to the Government and people of the United States. The President of Pakistan
in a statement earlier today has expressed his sense of deep shock and sorrow.

Mr. BOBCH (Denmark): The senseless attempt to assassinate one of the
most outstanding personalities of the United States has made the deepest impression
of horror and sorrow in my country -- sorrow felt personally by each and every
citizen of my country.
The Danish Foreign Minister, who is at present in Washington, in a statement
issued this morning recalled that Senator Robert F. Kennedy had devoted himself to
the struggle for liberty and equality and against oppression and violence.
Our deepest sympathy goes to the family of the Senator and to the United States
Government and people. It is our fervent hope that he may soon recover frcm this
cruel attack.
My delegation fully associates itself with the telegram that you,
Mr. President, intend to send in the name of the Council to Senator Kennedy's wife.

Lij Endalkachew MAKOHMEN (Ethiopia): Mr. President, I wish to associate
my delegation with the sentiments of sympathy and sorrow that you have expressed
on our "behalf with regard to the tragedy that has "befallen the Kennedy family.
Senator Kennedy is an image of his late brother in the feelings of admiration and
affection that he evokes in all parts of our continent of Africa.
We in Ethiopia remember the visit he paid to Addis Ababa and to the headquarters
of African organizations in our capital city and we recall in particular the
inspiring addresses he delivered on those occasions. He is a recognized leader
in all endeavours having to do with human freedom, and progress, "be it here in the
United States or indeed in the rest of the world.

of mankind.

Ambassador Makonnen for his remarks.
Mr. SOLANO LOPEZ (Paraguay) (interpretation from Spanish): My Government
and my delegation heard with understandable horror the news of the attempted
assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy early this morning.
I need not dwell on Senator Kennedy's qualities; he is such an eminent
personality that he is not bounded by purely national borders.
In the telegram that you, Mr. President, are to send to the Kennedy family,
you fully express the sincere and deep feelings of my delegation. Nevertheless,
I should be failing in my duty if, through you, I did not express our feelings
to the people and Government of the United States, for it is they who will suffer
most from today's tragedy.
The PRESIDENT: I thank the representative of Paraguay on behalf of
my country.
Mr. SETTE CAMARA (Brazil): My delegation cannot but join the
representatives who have already spoken and express the feelings of grief and
shock with which the Brazilian people and Government received the sad news of
the attempted assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy. ¥e deeply deplore the
fact that a great political tragedy has again struck the United States.
I thank you, Mr. President, for taking the initiative of expressing to the
family of Senator Kennedy, on our behalf, the sentiments of profound sorrow we
all share at the regrettable'event of last night. The whole Brazilian people
will be praying that Senator Kennedy quickly recovers and that he may soon resume
the place he rightly holds as a great figure in national American life.

shock the tragic news that the outstanding American statesman,
Senator Robert Kennedy, had fallen victim to a senseless act of violence. We

to the family of Senator Kennedy and to the Government of the United States, and
our best wishes to the Senator himself for his early recovery.
The PRESIDENT: I thank the Ambassador of Hungary for what he has said.
Mr. IGNATIEFF (Canada): On behalf of Canada, a close neighbour and
friend of the United States, I would say that the news overnight came as the most
profound shock to everybody in my country. "We would, of course, wish to associate
ourselves with the message which you read out, Mr. President, but we wish also
to say that at this moment our thoughts are, of course, of the Senator and his
family and of all that he stood for, as you said, in the advocacy of world peace,
social justice and all those things which are enshrined in the Charter -- things
in which all just men believe. At this moment in the trial of this country our •
profoundest sympathy goes to all concerned.
The PRESIDENT; I thank Ambassador Ignatieff.
\
Mr. CHAYET (France) (interpretation from French): It was with heartfelt
and profound emotion that my delegation learned, like all delegations to the
United Nations, of the attempt on the life of Senator Robert Kennedy.
This assassination attempt affects us' in more ways than one since
Mr. Kennedy is a Senator for New York State and that State is host to the United
Nations. This brilliant personality opposed to all violence, who has just been
the victim of violence as was his late brother, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
does honour to the United States.

(Mr. Chayet, France)
I request you, Mr. President, to convey to your Government the French
delegation's feelings of sadness, and I thank you for interpreting our feelings

that the news may soon be better.
The PRESIDENT: I thank the representative of France.\
Mr. EOYE (Senegal) (interpretation from French): The delegation of
Senegal — and particularly its representative here in the Security Council, who
has had the privilege of knowing Senator Robert Kennedy personally -- heard with
consternation of the cruel attempt against the life of one of the finest sons of
the United States of America,
On behalf of my Government I would ask you, Mr. President, to transmit to
Senator Kennedy our ardent hope for his speedy and complete recovery. . My
delegation joins with you by expressing its complete agreement with the
sentiments expressed in the telegram which you read out to us, and would
request you to convey to your Government and to the Kennedy family our feeling
of consternation and affection.
The PRESIDENT: I thank Ambassador Boye for what he has said.
Mr. MALIK (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) (interpretation from
Russian): It was with deep horror that we learned early this morning of this
tragic event. Decisively condemning such acts of political terrorism, we express
deep sympathy to the family of Senator Kennedy and also express our sincere hope
that the Senator will recover. We endorse the message that you read out,
Mr. President, to be sent to the family of Robert Kennedy.
The PRESIDENT: I thank Ambassador Malik.

The PRESIDENT; I thank Ambassador Liu.

fully associates itself with the wording of the telegram which you have read out,
Mr. President, and which you propose to send on our behalf.

Senator Robert Kennedy. His ambition was to pursue the noble mission of the
late lamented President Kennedy and thus to reconcile the United States with
itself and with the entire world.
On behalf of the Algerian delegation, we express to you, Mr. President,
and to your delegation our feelings of deep sympathy. We ask you to be good
enough to convey those feelings on our behalf to Mrs. Kennedy and her family,
and to express to her our affectionate sympathy,
Because of these sad circumstances, Mr. President, my delegation would
formally request you and the Council, despite the urgency of the question of
which the Council is seized, to be good enough to adjourn this meeting and,
with the consent of the Council, to decide when the next meeting should be held.
The PRESIDENT; I thank the Ambassador of Algeria for what he has said.
Before putting his proposal to the Council, I should like to add a few words
on my own behalf, since I made my first statement in my capacity, as President
of the Council,As we pray for Senator Kennedy, our hearts cry out in pain and anguish at
this terrible act of violence; and the cry is that all violence must stop. Surely
by now the lesson that violence breeds violence must be pounded into our heads.
Surely by now all will agree that there must be an end to killing at home and

abroad. Otherwise there will be little hope for my country, for any other country
or for the world.
The Council has heard the proposal made by the representative of Algeria,
Since I hear no objection, I shall adjourn this meeting on the terms he proposed.

It is not only the Prime Minister oflTgreat countrywho has just gone from us, but a person who has lefthis mark on the history of this century.

Hommage a la memoire de M. Jawaharial Nehru,premier ministre de I'lnde
1. Le PRESIDENT: Tous les membres du Conseilde securite auront ressenti, j'en suis stir, la memeemotion en apprenant, ce matin, la mort soudainede M. Nehru.2. Ce n'est pas seulement le Premier Ministred'un grand pays qui vient de disparaftre. C'est unedes personnalites qui ont marque 1'histoire de cesiecle. Son energie comme sa prudence, 1'elevationde ,sa pensee comme son incomparable sens moral,1'ampleur et la fermetg de ses vues sur 1'evolutionde son peuple et du monde, son attachement auxoeuvres de la paix et de la cooperation Interna-tionale ont fait de lui 1'un des hommes d'Etat, 1'undes hommes dont, atraverslesgenerations.l'exemplene sera janiais oublie. Le deuil de 1 'Inde est celuides Nations Unies. Le Conseil de securitS s'yassocieavec tristesse, avec ferveur. II adresse au gouver-nement et au peuple indiens 1 "expression de sa pro-fonde sympathie dans cette douloureuse epreuve, etde sa confiance dans le grand destin de leur pays.3. Je vous demande, Messieurs, d'observer uneminute de silence.
Les representants, debout, observe/if le silence.4. Le SECRETAIRE GENERAL (traduit del'anglais):En ma qualite de Secretaire general del'Organisationdes Nations Unies, je tiens a exprimer la profondetristesse que j'ai eprouvee a la nouvelle du decesdu Premier Ministre de I'lnde, M. Jawaharial Nehru,et a m'associer aux condoleances adressees iMme Indira Gandhi, a Mme Pandit et au gouverne-ment et au peuple de I'lnde.
5. J'ai envoyS ce matin au President de la Repu-blique de I'lnde un telegramme dont voici la teneur:
"J'ai ete profondement peine d'apprendre cematin le deces du premier ministre JawaharialNehru. Peu d'hommes de notre epoque ont, autant
of their own country as he has. Responsible as hewas for the policies of one of the largest countriesin the world, he has affected the course of worldevents. India should know that in her hour of griefher sorrow is shared by all of us in the UnitedNations."
6. Mr. STEVENSON (United States of America): Whenan enlightened leader of a great nation leaves theworld's busy stage there is a pause in the pace ofhuman affairs. For some there is genuine grief. Forhis country there is universal sympathy. But whenPandit Jawaharlal Nehru passes beyond the clamoursof his time there is something much more. Who cansay what it is? Sadness, anxiety, homage—yes. But inmillions of hearts and minds there is much more, forhe had become a part of all mankind.
7. Today we think of the past: of his life of incessantstruggle, of his courage and sacrifice, of the burdenshe bore, of his incalculable achievements, of histriumphs—yes, and of the staggering unfinished tasksbefore him. With India's immortal spiritual leader,Mahatma Gandhi, he brought modern India to birthand hundreds of millions of people to national con-sciousness. He lived to guide his vast country withconsummate skill through the first perilous years ofnational existence. He died, not in honoured tranquillityand repose, but at his post, besieged with difficulties.
8. Prime Minister Nehru's influence extended farbeyond the borders of his own country. He was aleader of Asia and of all the new developing nations.His vision and his strength had much to do with theexpanding role which those nations have come to playin recent years. And in other parts of the world aswell his name had come to be synonymous with thespiritual goals and the worldly hopes of mankind.
9. It is not easy to speak of a man whom I had theprivilege of calling my friend for many years whenthe wound is yet fresh. On his last visit to this country,we talked about statesmanship and diplomacy. Ithought, Mr. President, that perhaps you would beinterested in something he said to me. He said: "Thereis no difficulty in choosing between right and wrongif the question appears in that sense. It does notalways appear that way, and in white and black thereare many shades of grey." Pandit Nehru knew betterthan most that many of life's great decisions arepainted not in black and white, but in shades of grey.
10. It is said that a wise man who stands firm is astatesman, and a foolish man who stands firm is acatastrophe. The hope of the world rests with leaderswho have the gift of firmness and of flexibility. PrimeMinister Nehru had both. He truly lived Gandhi's olddream of building an India and a world in which theculture of all lands would be blown about his houseand where there would be room for the least of God'screatures. He was one of God's great creations in ourtime. His monument is his nation and his dream offreedom and of ever expanding well-being for all men.May that be our legacy and our dream too in the
que lui, laiss§ leur empreinte sur 1'histoire deleur propre pays. Responsable de la politique d'undes plus grands pays du globe, il a inflechi lecours des 6venements mondiaux. Que 1'Inde sachequ'en cette heure de deuill'Organisation des NationsUnies tout entiere partage son affliction."
6. M. STEVENSON (Etats-Unis d'Amerique) [traduitde 1'anglais]: Lorsque le chef eclaire d'une grandenation quitte la scene de notre monde agite, il seproduit un temps d'arret dans les affaires humaines.Pour certains, la tristesse est reelle. La sympathieuniverselle va vers son pays. Mais, quand le panditJawaharlal Nehru quitte les clameurs de ce monde,il se passe quelque chose de plus. Qui sauraitdire ce que c'est? Tristesse, inquietude, hommage— certes. Mais il y a bien plus que tout cela dansles coeurs et les esprits de millions d'hommes,ear il appartenait a 1'humanite tout entiere.7. Aujourd'hui, nous evoquons le pass§: sa vie deluttes incessantes, son courage et son esprit desacrifice, les fardeaux qu'il a portes, ses reali-sations innombrables, ses triomphes — oui, et aussiles immenses taches qui demeurent inachevees. Avec1'immortel chef spiritueldel'Inde.lemahatma Gandhi,il a preside a la naissance de 1'Inde moderne etdonne1 U ses centaines de millions d'habitants uneconscience nationale. II a consacrS sa vie a guideravec un art consomme1 le vaste pays qui etait le sientout au long des premieres et perilleuses annees deson existence nationale. II est mort non pas dansle calme et dans une retraite honoree, mais a sonposte, assailli par les difficultes.8. L"influence du premier ministre Nehru s'etendaitbien au-dela des frontieres de son pays. II etait undes chefs de 1'Asie et de toutes les nouvelles nationsen voie de developpement. Si ces jeunes nations ensont venues depuis quelques annees a jouer un rolede plus en plus marquant, elles le doivent en grandepartie a sa clairvoyance et a son energie. Dansd'autres regions du monde aussi son nom Staitdevenusynonyme des objectifs spirituels et des espoirs ter-restres de 1 'humanit§.9. n est malaise de parler d'un homme que j'aieu 1'honneur d'appeler mon ami pendant des annees,alors que la blessure est encore frafche. Lors deson dernier voyage aux Etats-Unis, nous avons par 16des qualites de 1'homme d'Etat et de la diplomatic.Peut-etre vous int6ressera-t-il, Monsieur le Presi-dent, d'entendre une parole qu'il m'a dite a ce sujet.La voici: "n n'est pas difficile de choisir entrele bien et le mal si c'est ainsi que la question sepose. La question ne se pose pas toujours ainsi etentre le blanc et le noir il y a bien des nuances degris." Le pandit Nehru le savait mieux que qui-conque: dans la vie, bien des grandes decisions nes 'inscrivent pas en blanc ou en noir, mais en dif-fer entes nuances de gris.10. On dit qu'un sage qui fait preuve de fermeteest un homme d'Etat, tandis qu'un fou qui fait preuvede fermete est une calamite. Le monde met sonespoir dans des chefs qui savent a la fois fairepreuve de fermete' et de souplesse. C'etait le casdu premier ministre Nehru, n a rSellement vecu levieux r§ve de Gandhi: batir une Inde et un mondequ'animerait le souffle de la culture de tous les payset ou la plus humble des creatures de Dieu auraitplace, n etait 1'une des creatures d'elite dont Dieua fait don a notre 6poque. Sa nation et son rSve deliberty et de bien-etre toujours plus grand pour tous

11. Sir Patrick DEAN (United Kingdom): I join withyou, Mr. President, and with the Secretary-Generaland with others who have already paid tribute to Mr.Nehru, former Prime Minister of India. He was indeeda great man who was at the head of a great countryduring the whole period of its independence. His con-tribution to the work of the United Nations and tointernational peace was outstanding.
12. All of us remember him with respect, affectionand gratitude. In my own country Mr. Nehru had wona unique place in public esteem. In the words of HerMajesty the Queen, "Mr. Nehru will be mournedthroughout the Commonwealth and among the peace-loving peoples of the world."13. Mr. BENHIMA (Morocco) (translated fromFrench): Mr. President, you and the Secretary-General have expressed the feelings of the Counciland the United Nations at the sudden death of Mr.Jawaharlal Nehru, the Prime Minister of India. Weshare these feelings, but the Council will understandthe Moroccan delegation's desire to claim, on variousgrounds, a particular kinship with Mr. Nehru.
14. As a son of India, he devoted several decades ofhis life, sometimes at great personal cost to thestruggle for his country's independence. He thus setan example, at a time when people were still hesitantabout the struggle for independence, and he showedthe way to millions of human beings, giving them thecourage and perseverance, the energy and wisdom toachieve the supreme aim which has just been definedas one of his objectives and the ultimate goal of hislife, namely, freedom.
15. No one will deny him the right, as a member ofthe African-Asian family, to be considered the archi-tect of the political thinking and morality which, sincethe appearance of new States on the world scene,represent the line followed today by the entire world.
16. As Head of State and leader of a Member of theUnited Nations, he came here several times to speakin the United Nations andgiveitamessage the memoryof which is undoubtedly still fresh in our minds today.
17. Today is the second time India has lost its leader,and the loss is not India's alone. Mr. Nehru bore onhis shoulders the weight of Ghandi's message. We canbe sure that his people, raised in his thought and hisethics, will give India and the world a further exampleof what the wisdom of India and the profundity of itscivilization can offer the United Nations and the worldas a whole.
18. Mr. Stevenson has just given us a personalmemory. I should also like to recall that ten yearsago, at an extremely difficult time in my country'shistory, I had the privilege, with some of my friends,of meeting Mr. Nehru under special circumstances.It would be impossible for us to forget the message ofcourage and prudence he gave us. The fact that thepath we have since followed was that which we pub-licly supported with him at the international level
les hommes constituent le plus beau monument asa memoire. Essayons, nous aussi, auxNations Unies,de faire n&tres cet heritage et ce r&ve.11. Sir Patrick DEAN (Royaume-Uni) [traduit de1'anglais]: Je me joins a vous, Monsieur le President,ainsi qu'au Secretaire general et a tous ceux quiont deja rendu hommage a feu le Premier Ministrede 1'Inde, M. Nehru. C'etait vraiment un grandnomine et il a ete £ la teie d'un grand pays depuisle jour de son independance. n a apporte une contri-bution exceptionnelle a 1'oeuvre des Nations Unieset a la paix Internationale.12. Nous nous en souviendrons tous avec respect,affection et gratitude. Au Royaume-Uni, M. Nehruavait conquis une place unique dans 1'estime gene-rale. Selon la parole de sa Majeste la Reine,"M. Nehru sera pleurfe par tous les pays du Common-wealth et par tous les peuples pacifiques du monde".
13. M. BENHIMA (Maroc): Monsieur le President,vous avez, avec le Secretaire general, exprimS lessentiments du Conseil de securitS et del'Organisationdes Nations Unies devant la disparition soudaine duPremier Ministre de 1'Inde, M. Jawaharlal Nehru.Ces sentiments sont les n6tres, mais le Conseilcomprendra que la delegation marocaine veuille re-vendiquer, a des titres divers, une parent^ particu-lifere avec M. Nehru.14. En tant que fils de 1'Inde, il aconsacre plusieursdizaines d'annees de sa vie, payantparfoislesrangonsles plus dures, a la lutte pour 1'independance deson pays. II a ainsi donne 1'exemple, b. une periodeo& cette lutte etait encore timide, et il a montrela voie a des millions d'&tres humains, leur dormantainsi le courage et la perseverance, 1'energie etla sagesse, pour atteindre le but supreme qui vientd'etre dgfini comme 1'un de ses objectifs et commele but ultime de sa vie, celui d'atteindre la liberte.
15. Comme membre de la famille afro-asiatique,personne ne lui contestera d'etre Partisan de lapensee politique et de la morale qui, depuis 1'ap-parition des jeunes Etats sur la scene mondiale,constituent la ligne suivie aujourd'hui par le mondeentier.16. Comme chef d'Etat et chef d'un pays Membrede 1 "Organisation des Nations Unies, il est venu icitt plusieurs reprises parler aux Nations Unies etleur laisser un message dont 1'echo est certainementaujourd'hui encore frais dans la memoire de noustous.17. C'est aujourd'hui la seconde fois que 1'Indeperd son chef, et cette perte n'affecte pas 1'Indeseulement. M. Nehru a ports sur ses epaules lepoids du message de Gandhi. Nous avons la certitudeque son peuple, eleve dans sa pensee et dans sonethique, donnera encore, a 1'Inde et au monde, unnouvel exemple de ce que la sagesse de 1'Inde et laprofondeur de sa civilisation peuvent offrir a 1'Orga-nisation Internationale et au monde entier.18. M. Stevenson vient d'evoquer un souvenir per-sonnel. Je me permettrai egalement de rappelerqu'il y a 10 ans, a un moment extremement peniblepour mon pays, j'ai eu le privilege, avet quelques-uns de mes amis, de rencontrer M. Nehru dans descirconstances particulieres; il nous est impossibled'oublier le message de courage et de prudence qu'ilnous a donne. Le fait que la voie que nous avons sui-vie depuis etait bien celle que nous avons suivie avec
shows that Morocco has taken to its heart the messagethat Mr. Nehru left to mankind.
19. Today the African-Asian family is particularlymoved by the loss of one of its great leaders. But Iam sure the delegation of India will make an oath thatthis message will not be forgotten, that the African-Asian and unaligned countries, to which he was aguide, will remember it at their every meeting, thathis memory will be present in our minds. I also knowthat his message will not be forgotten either regardingfreedom or the aims of co-existence, mutual respectbetween nations and above all, the triumph of themethod of settling problems with both firmness andflexibility, with friends and foes alike.
20. I should like the delegation of India to be assuredthat the African-Asian countries, including Morocco,will consider this message as a legacy left by Mr.Nehru, a legacy to be proudly and jealously guarded.
21. Mr. USHER (Ivory Coast) (translated fromFrench): The delegation of the Republic of the IvoryCoast associates itself with the words spoken by thePresident of the Council and the Secretary-General onbehalf of the Security Council and the United Nations.It wishes to offer its heartfelt condolences to theGovernment and people of India, to the family of PrimeMinister Nehru and to the delegation of India.
22. Together with Mahatma Gandhi, the eharjapion ofnon-violence, Pandit Nehru, the apostle of tolerance,showed those who were willing to hear and follow himthe path of peace. The world has lost a great man, theAfrican-Asian world a great leader, one of its mostillustrious sons.23. The Republic of the Ivory Coast shares in thecruel loss that has struck its sister republic of India.
24. Mr. FEDORENKO (Union of Soviet SocialistRepublics) (translated from Russian): The sorrowfulnews of the sudden death of Mr, Jawaharlal Nehru,the Head of the Indian Government, has shaken peoplethroughout the world. An outstanding son of the greatand wise people of India has departed this life. Thedeath of Mr. Nehru, that indefatigable champion ofpeace and mutual understanding among nations, is anirreparable loss for all mankind.25. The Soviet delegation presents its deepest andmost sincere condolences to the people and Govern-ment of India and to the family and friends of Mr.Nehru.26. A great man has left us forever—a statesman ofinternational stature, a man who did much for thedevelopment of friendly relations between the peoplesof India and the Soviet Union, for the strengthening ofpeace and for the growth of understanding and co-operation. In regard to him the Chairman of theCouncil of Ministers of the USSR, Mr. Khrushchev,once used these words:
"We Soviet people value Jawaharlal Nehru highly,because he understands the meaning of friendshipbetween our countries and the significance of ourcommon struggle for the strengthening of peaceand friendship among all peoples."
lui publiquement sur le plan international prouveque le Maroc a fait sien le message que M. Nehrua laissfe a I'humanitfe.
19. Aujourd'hui, la famille afro-asiatique est par-ticulierement touchfee par la perte de 1'un de sesgrands leaders. Mais j'ai la certitude que la de-legation de 1'Inde fera en quelque sorte serment dene pas oublier ce message, que les pays afro-asiatiques et non alignes, dont il a ete 1'undesguides, s'en souviendront a chacune de leurs ren-contres et que la m§moire de M. Nehru sera pre-sente parmi nous. Je sais aussi que son messagene sera oublie ni sur le plan de la liberte, ni ence qui concerne les objectifs de coexistence, derespect mutuel entre les nations et surtout de triomphede la methode du rfeglement des problemes d'unemanifere k la fois souple et ferme, avec les adver-saires comme avec les amis.
20. Je voudrais que la delegation de 1'Inde ait lacertitude que les pays afro-asiatiques, et, parmi eux,le Maroc, considereront que ce message fait partiedu patrimoine que M. Nehru a laisse et que nousgarderons avec fiert6 et avec jalousie.
21. M. USHER (C6te-d'Ivoire): La delegation dela Republique de C6te-d'Ivoire s'associe aux parolesque le President du Conseil de securitfe et leSecretaire general viennent de prononcer au nom duConseil de securitS et de 1'Organisation des NationsUnies. Elle voudrait presenter ses condoleances lesplus sinceres au Gouvernement de 1'Inde, £ sonpeuple, £ la famille du premier ministre Nehru eta la delegation de 1'Inde.
22. Avec le mahatma Gandhi, 1'homme de la non-violence, le pandit Nehru, I'ap6tre de la tolerance,a montre, a qui veut 1'entendre etlesuivre, le cheminde la paix. Le monde perd un grand homme, le mondeafro-asiatique un grand leader et 1'un des plusillustres de ses enfants.
23. La Republique de Cote-d'Ivoires'associeintime-ment au deuil cruel qui frappe la republique sceurde 1'Inde.
24. M. FEDORENKO (Union des Republiques socia-listes sovietiques) [traduit du russe]: La triste nou-velle de la mort subite du chef du Gouvernementindien, M. Jawaharlal Nehru, a bouleverse le mondeentier. Nous avons vu disparaftre le fils illustrede ce grand, de ce sage peuple de 1'Inde. La mortde M. Nehru, qui a combattu sans reltche pour lapaix et pour la comprehension entre les peuples,est pour 1'humanite tout entiereuneperte irreparable.
25. L'Union soviStique exprime ses condolfeancesles plus profondes et les plus sinceres au peupleet au gouvernement de 1'Inde ainsi qu'a la familleet aux proches du disparu.26. Nous avons vu mourir un grand homme, unhomme d'Etat de stature Internationale, qui avaitbeaucoup fait pour I'gtablissement de relations ami-cales entre le peuple de 1'Inde et celui de 1'UnionsoviStique, pour le renforcement de la paix et pourle dgveloppement de la comprehension et de lacoope-ration. Voici ce qu'aditasonproposM. Khrouchtchev,president du Conseil des ministres de 1'URSS:
"Le peuple sovietique a la plus haute opinion deJawaharlal Nehru, parce qu'il comprend tout le sensde I'amiti6 entre nos pays et de la lutte que nousmenons en commun pour le renforcement de la paixet de I'amitie' entre tous les peuples."

27. Mr. Nehru made an enormous contribution to-wards the fulfilment of the lofty tasks facing ourOrganization. We all recall his personal participationin the work of the General Assembly in I960, whenhe spoke effectively in support of the safeguarding ofpeace, a prompt decision in favour of general andcomplete disarmament, and the immediate eliminationof colonialism.
28. The part played by Mr. Nehru in the developmentand implementation of the principles of peaceful co-existence is universally recognized. Mr. Nehru wasabsolutely correct when he pointed out that peacefulcoexistence was the only way in which States couldconduct themselves, since any other way would leadonly to mutual destruction—and this we reject.
29. We bow our heads in respectful memory of adistinguished statesman, thinker and fighter on thesoil of the ancient people of India, and express ourfaith in the triumph of the great and noble ideals towhich Jawaharlal Nehru so courageously devoted hisentire life.
30. Mr. NIELSEN (Norway): The Norwegian delega-tion pauses to bow in deep respect and in sorrow.India has lost its great leader, Jawaharlal Nehru.Prime Minister Nehru gave of his rich resources toIndia in the two most important tasks facing anynation: the achievement of sovereignty and independ-ence and the establishment and practice of a truedemocracy.
31. Prime Minister Nehru was also called upon bythe world for assistance in the extremely difficultart of practising peace with understanding which hecombined with respect for freedom and for justice.The United Nations, therefore, also shares India'sgreat loss today. Norway's sympathy-goes out toIndia and to the family of the late Prime MinisterNehru.
32. Mr. BERNARDES (Brazil): On behalf of mydelegation I should like to extend to the delegation ofIndia, to the Indian Government and its people mydeep condolences for their grave loss. Prime MinisterNehru was not only an Indian leader but a worldfigure, and one of its outstanding statesmen.
33. His struggle for the independence of his country,his dedication to peace, his staunch support for theprinciples on which the United Nations is based, willalways be recalled with gratitude and admiration. Iwish to extend the sympathy of my delegation to thefamily of the great leader who has now disappearedfrom the world scene.
34. Mr. CASTRILLO JUSTINIANO (Bolivia) (trans-lated from Spanish): A man who gave his life to thecause of freedom, his brilliant mind to the cause ofpeace, his good faith to the cause of ideologicaltolerance and his love to all mankind has disappearedfrom the world scene and entered the realm of theimmortals.
35. The delegation of Bolivia joins in the universalmourning on the occasion of the tragic death of PrimeMinister Nehru, who, like his predecessor, MahatmaGandhi, was misunderstood by those who did not com-prehend his preaching and example.
27. M. Nehru a fourni un apport immense a la reali-sation des nobles taches imparties £ notre organi-sation. Chacun se rappelle la part personnelle qu'ila prise en 1960 aux travaux de 1'Assemblee generate,lorsqu'il est intervenu activement en f aveur du maln-tien de la paix, de la realisation, dans les plus brefsdelais, du dSsarmement ggne'ral et complet, et de laliquidation immediate du colonialisme.
28. Le r&le de M. Nehru dans 1'elaboration et 1'ap-plication des principes de la coexistence pacifiqueentre les peuples est reconnu par tous. n disait fortjustement que la coexistence pacifique est la seuleregie de conduite possible des Etats, sinon il n'y aqu'une seule possibilitS, celle de la destruction reci-proque; mais nous rejetons cette possibilite.
29. Nous nous inclinons avec respect devant le souve-nir d'un grand chef d'Etat, d'un penseur, d'un hommequi a lutte pour la terre de ce peuple ancien de1'Inde, confiant en la victoire des grands et noblesidfeaux auxquels Jawaharlal Nehru a cons acre avectant de courage sa vie entiere.30. M. NIELSEN (Norvege) [traduit de 1'anglais]:La delegation norvegienne s'incline avec un profondrespect et une grande tristesse. L'Inde a perdu sonchef eminent, Jawaharlal Nehru. Le premier ministreNehru a donn6 le meilleur de lui-m&me a son payspour lui permettre d'accomplir les deux taches lesplus importantes auxquelles une nation ait a faireface: conqugrir sa souverainete et son independence,creer et mettre en pratique une vraie democratic.31. Le monde a 6 galement appe!6 le premier ministreNehru a participer a cet art si difficile qui consiste£ pratiquer la paix en faisant preuve de compre-hension, tout en respectant la liberte et la justice.Aussi la grande perte que 1'Inde vient d'Sprouver est-elle aussi celle des Nations Unies. La Norvege exprimetoute sa sympathie a 1'Inde et a la famille de feule premier ministre Nehru.
32. M. BERNARDES (Bresil) [traduit de 1'anglais]:Au, nom de ma delegation, je tiens a offrir mes sin-ceres condoleances S. la delegation indienne, augouvernement et au peuple de 1'Inde pour la grandeperte qui vient de les frapper. Le premier ministreNehru n'etait pas seulement un dirigeant indien emi-nent; c'e'tait une personnalitS mondiale et 1'un de nosplus grands hommes d'Etat.33. Nous Svoquerons toujours avec gratitude et admi-ration sa lutte pour 1 'independance de son pays, sondevouement a la cause de la paix, son soutien inde-fectible aux principes sur lesquels 1'Organisation desNations Unies est fondee. Je tiens a exprimer lasympathie de ma delegation a la famille du grand chefd'Etat qui vient de disparaftre de la scene mondiale.34. M. CASTRILLO JUSTINIANO (Bolivie) [traduitde 1'espagnol]: Un homme qui a voue sa vie a lacause de la liberte, consacre sa brillante intelligencea la defense de la paix, mis toute sa bonne foi apr&ner la tolerance entre ideologies differentes etoffert son amour a 1'humanite tout entiere vient dedisparaftre de la face de la terre pour entrer auroyaume de 1'immortalite.
35. La delegation bolivienne s'associe au deuil uni-versel qui a accueilli la mort tragique du premiermiiiistre Nehru, qui, comme son pred^cesseur, lemahatma Gandhi, a souffert de 1 "incomprehension deceux qui ont refuse son enseignement et son exemple.
36. Nehru was an apostle of pacifism in the mostlofty sense of the term. As a standard-bearer ofneutralism and precursor of peaceful coexistence,he suffered together with his people from the arbitra-riness of those who in international relations relysolely on the use of force. In the universal bereave-ment occasioned by his death, we can only expressthe hope that the peoples of the world will take hiscredo to their hearts and that India will be inspiredby his memory to continue along the path he carvedout for it. My words are intended to reflect the pro-found grief of my people and my Government.
37. Mr. VEJVODA (Czechoslovakia): Mr. President,allow me to join you, the Secretary-General and mydistinguished colleagues in the Security Council inextending the deepest sympathy of the Czechoslovakdelegation to the Government and people of India onthe occasion of the demise of Prime Minister Nehru,one of the great leaders of the peace-loving peopleof the world.
38. We had the opportunity to admire the brilliantideas of Mr. Nehru here in the United Nations, ofwhich he was always a great advocate and friend.The Czechoslovak people loved Mr. Nehru and greatlyappreciated his sincere efforts to strengthen worldpeace and his fight for the principles of peaceful co-existence among nations, and it admired his achieve-ments in increasing the well-being of his people andtheir progress in the economic, social and culturaldevelopment of their country. India, under his leader-ship, has always used its position, its influence andprestige in supporting the struggle of all nations forindependence, economic development and equal rights.
39. The Czechoslovak people has always been closelyrelated in friendship with the people of India and fullyshares the sorrow of the Indian people at this sadmoment. The memory of Mr. Nehru, his efforts andhis actions, will forever reside deep in our minds.
40. The PRESIDENT (translated from French): I callon the representative of the Republic of China.
41. Mr. HSUEH (China): Mr. President, I wish toassociate my delegation with the expressions of con-dolence which you and the other speakers precedingme have extended to the people of India in their sadhour of bereavement following the death of PrimeMinister Nehru.
42. Mr. Nehru was a leader of great vision. andachievement. In mourning for his death I cannot helprecalling how my people admired him during the dayswhen he led the people of India in the struggle for theindependence of his country. We wholeheartedly sup-ported the movement led by Prime Minister Nehruand rejoiced with him when his goal was achieved andIndia became independent. Although my Governmentdid not always seeeyetoeyeinpolicy with the Govern-ment which was headed by Prime Minister Nehru, webelieve that his great contribution to his country andhis people and to their nation-building will go downas a glorious page in history and will be rememberedby all.
36. Nehru a ete 1'apdtre du pacifisme, dans toute1'acception de ce noble terme, car, en tant quepartisan du neutralisms et precurseur de la coexis-tence pacifique, il a souffert avec son peuple de1'arbitraire de ceux qui ne veulent reconnaftre dansles relations Internationales d'autre langage queceluide la violence. Dans 1'emotion provoquee par samort, nous ne pouvons qu'exprimer 1'espoir que lespeuples du monde adopteront ses convictions et que1'Inde, inspiree par le souvenir de sa mSmoire,continuera a marcher dans la voie qu'il lui a tracee.Ces quelques paroles traduisent les sentiments deprofonde tristesse du gouvernement et du peuplede mon pays.
37. M. VEJVODA (Tchecoslovaquie) [traduit de 1'an-glais]: Permettez-moi, Monsieur le President, de mejoindre & vous, au Secretaire general et & mes emi-nents collegues du Conseil de security pour adresserau gouvernement et au peuple de 1'Inde 1'expressionde la profonde sympathie de la delegation tchecoslo-vaque a 1 "occasion du decfes du premier ministreNehru, 1'un des grands dirigeants des peuples paci-fiques du monde.
38. Nous avons eu 1'occasion d'admirer les ideesremarquables de M. Nehru ici mSme, dans 1'enceintedes Nations Unies, dont il a toujours ete 1'avocat et1'ami. Le peuple tchecoslovaque aimait M. Nehru et1'admirait profondement tant pour les efforts sincferesqu'il deployait afin de renforcer la paix mondialeque pour sa lutte en faveur des principes de la coexis-tence pacifique entre les nations. II 1'admirait aussid'etre parvenu a accroftre le bien-ltre de son peupleet a faire progresser son pays surleplan economique,social et culturel.

En deplorantsa mort, je ne puis manquer de rappeler 1'admirationqu'il suscitait dans mon pays lorsqu'il dirigeait lepeuple indien dans sa lutte pour I'indSpendance.

Dear U Thant,
Some weeks ago I read a brief
item in the Times about your going to an
art show and buying a portrait of your
three-year-old grandson. This reminded
me that when I last saw you you told me
that a grandson had just been born to you.
I would like to see you, simply because
three years of not seeing you might break
our friendly relationship. Of course I
don't want an interview and I have no
business. Jy&r new book on Soviet foreign
relations appears on May 28 and I fly the
next day to Europe, to stay there until
September 5« Please have your secretary

Hope you are feeling fine now, AyeAye.

We continue to follow with interest in the pressall that you are doing on behalf of the United Nations,and Margaret joins with me in our very best wishes foryour continuing success in;all that you undertake to do.
Cordially yours,

Excellency,
I have just received your card, inviting Mrs. Adebo and
myself to a Buffet Luncheon on Sunday the l8th of May, in connection
with the naming ceremony of your grand-daughter,
Unfortunately, I have a commitment outside New York - far
away on the ¥est Coast £ which makes it impossible for us to accept
this invitation. You can imagine the sense of disappointment that
we feel, in not being able to be with you on a great and memorable
occasion of this kind. Needless to say, our hearts will be there
with you.
We wish the little oney a happy life in a happier world.
Very sincerely yours,
S.O, Adebo
