Unofficial summary translation from French

The introduction to the article entitled "The United Nations humiliated" (Africasia, 2? November 1970) reads as follows: "The United Nations was created twenty-five years ago to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war. It is far from having reached its two main targets: The nations of the world have never been le ss united; war has never been so permanent. Illustrating his analysis with some significant facts, Simon Malley, who attended the twenty- fifth anniversary celebrations, shows that, despite the generous principles of the Charter and the good will of some of its officials, the United Nations - because of the contempt of some and the submission of others - remains a docile instrument of the policy of the Big Powers." After having mentioned and strongly criticized Mr. Nixon's speech before the General Assembly, Mr. Malley expresses the fear that the world is headed towards a Soviet-American "axis". The only question, he says, is whether the Soviet Union will play thi s game. The article goes on: "This observation emphasizes one of the main causes of the grave crisis which threatens the United Nations and entails its increasing decadence: on the one hand, the contempt shown the U.N. by the Big Powers and, on the other hand, the incapacity of the overwhelming majority of the Member States to react to the humiliation they suffer by showing a firm attitude which could impress the Big Powers and perhaps save the international Organization from otherwise unavoidable decay." Mr. Malley then mentions three facts: the fact that the Foreign Minis ters of the Big Powers left the Security Council (during the closed meeting) just after having read their speeches and before the other Foreign Ministers could speak; the incident between President Kaunda and the U.S. Government and the invitation to the White House the day of the U.N. concert. There follows a long criticism of the attitude of the Big Powers, notably the Soviet Union, and the pressures the super-Powers exert on the smaller nations. Mr. Malley concludes with the words of an African delegate who said: "One often reproaches the United Nations for its impotence. One accuses its Secretary -General U Thant for contributing to its decline. Some say that he - 2 - should leave. As if the United Stations were not actually the sum of all its Members. As far as U Thant is concerned, one can indeed reproach him for many things. But it would be interesting to ask oneself why his main critics are generally found in Tel Aviv, Lisbon, Pretoria, Salisbury, Saigon and everywhere imperialism and colonialism think their interests are threatened."

cln"Q6ntmentsr * ' HUMIUEE DE NEW YORK, SIMON MALLEY

L'Organisation des Nations unies a ete creee il y a 25 ans pour epargner aux generations futures le fleau de la guerre. Elle est loin d'avoir atteint ses deux principaux objectifs : jamais les nations du monde n'ont ete moins unies; jamais la guerre n'a ete aussi permanente. Illustrant son analyse de quelques faits significatifs, Simon Malley, qui a assiste aux fetes du 25e anniversaire, montre que, malgre les genereux principes de sa Charte et la bonne volonte de certains de ses responsables, les Nations unies — par le mepris des uns et la soumission des autres — Le president Richard Milhous Nixon demeurent Par-dessus la tete de 125 membres, un instrument docile un super-Grand de la politique parle a I'autre super-Grand. des grandes puissances. **

Le secretaire gene- ral U Thant devait offrir un concert d'adieu a Toccasion de la cI6ture de la session commemorative. M. Nixon decida subitement d'organiser le jour meme un diner en 1'honneur des chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement presents a 1'O.N.U. Les fonctionnaires de 1'O.N.U. protesterent aupres de la delegation americaine : « Nous avions prevu ce concert depuis plusieurs mois et vous aviez meme accepts notre invitation... » Demarche de 1'ambassadeur americain a 1'O.N.U. aupres de la Maison-Blanche pour essayer de surmonter 1'incident. Reponse hautaine de Washington : « Aucune possibilite d'ajourner le diner. Apres tout, Nixon a invite les chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement seulement. » En d'autres termes, que M. Thant se contente des autres ministres et diplomates... Combien de chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement refuserent-ils en signe de protestation de se rendre a Washington ? Combien de dirigeants africains ont-ils tenu a manifester en boycottant le diner de Nixon leur indignation a propos de la maniere dont la Maison-Blanche avait traite leur emissaire officiel, le president Kaunda ? A 1'exception du chef du gouvernement indien, Mme Ghandi, tous les chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement presents a New York se rendirent a Washington. II est vrai que certains d'entre eux prefererent quitter les Etats-Unis avant le diner de M. Nixon pour eviter un « choix embar- rassant ». Mais pour tous ceux qui ont suivi de pres 1'evolution des affaires de 1'O.N.U. ces dernieres annees, ces fails n'etaient pas, apres tout, tellement surprenants : Depuis longtemps deja, les grandes puissances se sont habituees a accorder peu d'importance a 1'opinion de rimmense majorite des Etats membres. A quelques exceptions pres, exceptions rela- tives aux problemes economiques et sociaux, Tissue des debats politiques est generalement « prefabriquee » par les grandes puissances. Combien de fois pouvait-on entendre dans les couloirs des conversations natives entre delegues occidentaux, du genre : « Et quelle sera I'attitude de tel pays du tiers monde ? demande 1'un. N'allons-nous pas avoir des difficultes de sa part ? — Ne vous en inquietez pas, repond le second.

Malgre cette evolution du rapport des forces, 1'Union sovietique donnait des preuves de plus en plus concretes de son souci de preserver le statu quo politico-militaire dans le monde. En d'autres termes, tout en maintenant son soutien a certains mouvements de liberation nationale dans les pays encore soumis a la domination coloniale directe, le Nikita Khrouchtchev et U Thant : riayant pu imposer une Kremlin renongait a encourager directement et materielle- « troika », I'U.R.S.S. avait fermement soutenu la candidature du ment les guerres de liberation nationale declenchees dans successeur de Dag Hammarskjold. les pays dont les regimes etaient soutenus et proteges par I'Occident.

En Afrique, par exemple, le mot d'ordre fut donne de ne plus jamais encourager des mouvements tels que ceux de Gizenga et de Pierre Mulele au Congo. Dans le Proche-Orient, le soutien a la resistance palestinienne resta pratiquement nul. Et en Amerique latine, fief de Timperialisme americain, les partis communistes « traditionnels » furent encourages a combattre la lutte armee qui se repandait un peu partout dans le continent. En acceptant une sorte de reconnaissance des interets imperialistes dans le monde, I'U.R.S.S. devenait une puis- sance respectable aux yeux des strateges americains, a 1'oppose de la Chine populaire, dont le soutien aux guerres de liberation rationale menace precisement ce statu quo dont s'accommode desormais Moscou.

Quarante guerres depuis 1945 ! C'est pourquoi la tentation devenait grande pour les Etats- Unis d'offrir au Kremlin des « marchandages » destines a aboutir a la division du monde en deux zones d'influence, et pour les dirigeants sovietiques de les accepter. C'est le siege de 1'O.N.U. a New York mais aussi Washington ou Moscou ou telle autre capitale europeenne qui serviront de cadre a ces « operations ». Comment expliquer autrement le fait que 1'Union sovie- tique ne fait pas de la liquidation de 1'agression americaine en Indochine la condition sine qua non de la poursuite de sa politique de coexistence et de detente avec Washington ?

Esperer que les grandes puissances abandonnent leur politique de force, croire qu'elles renonceront a leur egoisme national nous semble parfaitement illusoire dans la conjoncture internationale presente.

CR. 13 I. 2 Nov 70 OMMUNIST CHINA A \ INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

UN SESSION OMES PLATFORM OF OPPOSITION TO U.S.

Peking M0NA International Service in English 2012 GMT 31 Oct 70 B

[Te^f] Peking, October 31 (HSINHUA)--The United Nations manipulated by U.S. imperialism its collaborator held functions in New York from October 14 to 2U to mark the 25th ''anniversary of its founding, according to reports from New York.

In their speeches at the U.N. 25th anniversary session, representatives or heads of state of Albania and a number of Asian and African countries denounced the super- powers for using the United Nations to commit crimes of aggression, intervention and domination of the people of other countries. They thereby turned the 25th anniversary session into a platform for laying charges against and opposing the U.S. imperialist aggression and denouncing big-nation hegemony and the crimes of colonialism and neo- colonialism. This greatly heightened the morale of the world revolutionary people and deflated the arrogance of U.S. imperialism and its collaborator, accomplices and running dogs. The United Nations under the domination of the, two super-powers has been steadily on the declinejwith^a complete loss of prestige. This instrument has become more a'nd ~more~Trieffective . " ~

Representatives of many countries pointed out in their speeches that the record of the 25 years of the United Nations was a "disappointing" record of "failure". In his speech at the General Assembly session, Nesti Nase, head of the Albanian delegation and minister of foreign affairs, said: "The activity of the United Nations during this period of a quarter century and all its injurious practice applied contrarily to the Charter and, in the first place, under the pressure of the United States have led the organization towards the precipice where it is today,"

He enumerated the U.S. imperialist crimes of aggression committed under the banner of the U.N. organization against the Korean people and the Congolese people, and denounced the United Nations for'taking, under the manipulation of U.S. imperialism, the reactionary stand on the U.S. imperialist aggression in Indo-China, the Middle East, Latin America and other areas.

In the past ten years or more, Nase noted, the U.N. "organization has become a centre of transactions, manoeuvres and cunning intrigues of the two super-powers to the detri- ment of the cause of the peoples and an instrument for legalizing the secret machi- nations, plots and dangerous agreements which were concluded between them beforehand."

At the session, representatives of many countries in their speeches expressed opposition to the interference with and domination of the internal affairs of other countries by the super-powers.

President oJ1 the Romanian State Council Nicolae Ceasusecu pointed out: "There are still imperialist "and colonialist forces in international life which want to continue the old practice of domination over the peoples and promote a policy of strength and power politics, interfering in the internal affairs of other states, trying to impose their will on others, to subject them to their interests," He reiterated: "Events bear out that the time of the policy of domination and power politics has gone and the peoples can no longer be forcefully brought to their knees."

African and other countries strongly denounced U.S. imperialism and its collaborator for their crimes of aggression in the Middle East and Indo-China, pointing out that it was no longer tolerable for imperialism to continue such policy of aggression.

Foreign Minister of the United Arab Republic Mahmoud Riad denounced U.S. imperialist for supporting the Israeli Zionists to conduct new war provocations against Arab countries. Head of the Algerian delegation Nohamed Yazid charged that the reactionary Jordanian forces, "under the military cover of Washington", had "ma-ssacred tens of thousands of Palestinians" in Amman and other places. He pointed out: "The initiators of the so-called 'Rogers plan' had as its main aim the liquidation of hhe Palestinian resistance movement."

Iraqi Foreign Minister Abdul Karim al Sheikhly noted: "The proposals which aim at imposing the consequences of aggression on the Arab nation and ignore the rights of the Palestinian people and their will" "are surely doomed to utter failure."

Condemning U,S, imnerialism for supporting the Israeli aggression against various Arab countries, Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Abdullah el Khanl pointed out that the United States took "the United Nations as an instrument of its imperialist policy.11 Somali Foreign Secretary Omar Arteh Ghalib said: "The U.S. aggression against the Vietnamese people, its invasion of Cambodia and incursion on laos are flagrant'violation of international law and constitute a great threat to the peace in Asia and in the world." Cuban delegate Ricardo Alarcon denounced U.S. imperialism for planning fresh invasions of Cuba.

In their speeches, delegates from Albania, Romania and some Afro-Asian countries expressed firm support for the people of Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos in their war against U.S. aggression and for national salvation, and demanded that U.S. imperialism withdraw all its aggressor troops from Indo-China unconditionally and stop its intervention there. They also pointed out that the U.S. aggressor troops must be withdrawn from Korea, which is the only way to ensure the unification of Korea in accordance with the will of the Korean people themselves.

At the session, Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere, Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda , and delegates of other African countries vehemently denounced the policy of racial oppression pursued by the white regimes of South Africa and Southern Rhodesia, and the Portuguese colonial rule over Mozambique, Angola and Guinea (Bissau).

Delegates of many countries also denounced U.S. imperialism for manipulating the voting machine at the United Nations to unlawfully deprive the People's Republic of "China of i her legitimate rights in the United Nations. They resolutely demanded the restoration \ to the Peop]e's Republic of China of her rightful seat at the United Nations and the I expulsion from this United Nations of the Chiang bandit gsng which has long been 1 1 repudiated by the Chinese people.

Th/ey emphasized tha't':there is only one China, and that is the People's Republic 3/'China. It is entirely illegal to exclude a great country with a population of over 700 million from the United Nations and this situation must be changed, they said.

Amid strong denunciation voiced by the delegates of many countries against U.S. .imperialism,.,the U...S...,Imperialist ..chieftain ,Nixon arrUred in New-York from Washington--. -V,~;. on October 23 to attend the U.N. session. Seeing that the wind at the session was changing to his disadvantage, Nixon had to tune down by admitting that it would be -. of no avail "to gloss over the difficulties Of the present and to speak in optimistic or even extravagant terms'.1 At the same time, he tried his utmost to cover up the ferocious features of U.S. imperialism. He sophisticated that "what we seek is not a pax Americana, not an American century". He also advocated that the two super- powers "work together" in an intensified manner and that the United Nations must not "be paralysed in its most important function'/ etc. He was trylfcfe hard to continue collusion with the other super-power, and to make use of the United Nations to deceive the peoples of the world and to cover up the two super-powers' ulterior motive to lord it over the world.

To make the commemorating activities more Jolly, U Thant, U.N. secretary-general, had sent invitation cards to many heads of state and government. However7~"tfie" commemorating activities turned out to be cheerless from beginning to end. Out of the more than 120 member countries, only less than one third of the heads of state and government accepted the invitation. Instead of singing praise to the United Nations, many of them went to the United Nations to denounce U.S. imperialism and oppose the super-powers' aggression and interference in and control of other countries' internal affairs.

Zambian President Kaunda who arrived in New York on the night of October 18 condemned the imperialist crimes in Africa at the session held on the following day. Nixon deliberately gave offence to President Kaunda by unreasonably cancelling their meeting scheduled on October 20 and replacing it with one between U.S. Secretary of State Rogers—a man of a lower official sta£us--and President Kaunda. Displaying the heroic spirit of daring to scorn U.S. imperialism, President Kaunda countered the move with a flat refusal to meet Rogers, declined to attend Nixon's banquet and left the United States on October 20.

The atmosphere was indeed chilly throughout the U.N. session marking the 25th anniversary of its founding. Eve~rTthe opening session was reported to have rlittle festive atmosphere" and to be "mainly non-political". On the contrary, when Nixon addressed the session, American people demonstrated outside the U.N.O. Headquarters to oppose the U.S. imperialist aggression on Indo-China. To suppress the demonstrations of the New York masses, the Nixon government called out 8,000 policemen , to seal off the U.N.O. Headquarters. Sentry posts, wooden barricades and road blocks were put up everywhere with low-flying helicopters circling overhead as though it was confronting a.powerful enemy. Despite^ all_the_extravagant propaganda the U.N. officials made beforehand, Nixon's speech failed to arouse the "attention and interest of the people. Gloomily, Nixon returned to the White House the very [same] day.

The frigid and dismal picture of commemorating activities shows that in the 1970's of today, the people of various countries of the world have become the master of their own destiny'and no longer tolerate being ordered about by U.S. imperialism and the other super-power. -i *. 2 Nov 70 COMMUNIST CHINA INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

Peate Goal for Uvty. "to the.;Editor: • ' During this 25th anniversary of the United Nations, it is fitting that the organization set a new goal for the future. The goal could well be for the nations of the world to abandon war as a means for settling disputes. The statesmen of an earlier period provided in the Kellogg-Briand Treaty of 1928, signed by some sixty nations, for the renunciation of war as an in- strument of national policy. They were ahead of their time. But the concept they put forward is even more com- pelling in our day, when a war could destroy us all. The men of San.Francisco moved in the same direction. During the course of the most destructive war in history and just before the dawn of the atomic age, they wrote irit.o the United Na- tions Charter the determination of the signatories to save' succeeding genera- tions from the "scourge of war." I was there at that thrilling moment. A generation has passed, but wars continue. The youth of .the world, who are called upon to do the fighting, are not convinced that civilized man must engage in the organized killing and maiming of human beings, accom- panied by the. massive suffering of the innocent. They look for a rational way to defend a right or advance a. cause. On this anniversary, the United Na- tions should seek the worldwide sup- port of youth, and all people of good- will, in an urgent drive for the re- nunciation of. war and tthe full .use of Charter machinery for the peaceful settlement of disputes.

CR. 13 (11-64) UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION FROM FRENCH 15 October 1970 RdeB/ksn

Agence France-Presse Ik October 1970 New York

The U.N. is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary this year in fear. It is not a festive house, it is a fortress. Eight thousand New York City policemen have been mobilized to guard some forty Chiefs of State who will pass through New York in the next ten days. Panicked by threats or fear of kidnapping, attack and demonstrations, the Organization is well protected. Guards watch from rooftops and from barriers which line the streets and even the corridors of the U.N., beyond which one cannot pass without showing cards of different colours. Even the bar is guarded. Consequently, everyone lives in his cage and fights boredom. The diplomats in their conference rooms and their reception rooms; the journalists in their somber offices; and the Secretariat in its tower. This is freedom under guard. The U.N. which already has many problems will not even have the right to have a good time at its twenty-fifth anniversary. NEW YORK TIMES, Sunday, 11 October 1970

The Russians are still looking for a suit- able consulate building complex here, we learned from Bernice (Mrs. Earl) Behrens the other night over cocktails at the Behren- ses' elegant new apartment at 999 Green St. Bernice is the State Department hostess here and was entertaining a tourist group from the Institute of Soviet-American Relations. "Your city reminds me of some of the southern cities in the Crimea," said attrac- tive Galina Frolova, deputy secretary gener- al of the Institute, thoughtfully gazing at the twilight cityscape from the Behrens' 28th- floor pad. American guests agreed that of the 14 Russian women present Janina V. Narkevi- chute had the longest name — as well as an interesting job. She's deputy mayor of Kaun- as in Lithuania. (Story on Page 24.) Among the guests were the Albert Schwabachers, Mrs. Harry Camp Jr., Mrs. Constant van Vlierden, Christi (Mrs. Rob- ert) Spence (a pretty Hillsborough blonde who majored in Russian history), lawyer Agnes O'Brien Smith and authgrjguth Free- man Solomon. ~"

The United States has sugr gested 'that the delegation for the 1970 General Assembly should include one representa- tive born in 1945, the year the world organization itself was born at a founding conference in San Francisco. Ghana, going further, has suggested that one- fourth of the" delegation places be reserved for youth. The birthday planners are not certain how they will involve youth in the celebrations—in fact, they are not all agreed on a definition of youth. Secretary General Thant hasi indicated that he thinks ofj youth as applying to persons' 21 or younger. The United States and Britain seem to stretch the definition to "the 25-or-under group. ' Some delegates would like to hear speeches from the young people—"give them the floor," urged the representative of Byelorussia.
