of Staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization in Palestine and the parties to the General
Armistice Agreements concerned were requested by
the Council to undertake certain specific steps for the
purpose of ensuring that the tensions along the armistice demarcation lines should be reduced,

Noting with grave concern that despite the efforts of
the Chief of Staff the proposed steps have not been
carried out,

the parties concerning the enforcement of the Armistice
Agreements and the compliance given to the above-mentioned resolutions of the Council is such that its
continuance is likely to endanger the maintenance of
international peace and security;

2. Requests the Secretary-General to undertake, as a
matter of urgent concern, a survey of the various aspects
of enforcement of and compliance with the four General
Armistice Agreements 6 and the Council’s resolutions
under reference;

3. Requests the Secretary-General to arrange with
the parties for the adoption of any measures which,after discussion with the parties and with the Chief of
Staff, he considers would reduce existing tensions along
the-armistice demarcation lines, including the following
points:

(a) Withdrawal of their forces from the armistice
demarcation fines;

(b) Full freedom of movement for United Nations
observers along the armistice demarcation lines, in the
demilitarized zones and in the defensive areas;

(c) Establishment of local arrangements for the prevention of incidents and the prompt detection of any
violations of the Armistice Agreements;

4. Calls upon the parties to the General Armistice
Agreements to co-operate with the Secretary-General
in the implementation of this resolution;

5. Requests the Secretary-General to report to the
Council in his discretion but not later than one month
from this date on the implementation given to this
resolution in order to assist the Council in considering
what further action may be required.

Adopted unanimously at the
722nd meeting.

1955 and 111 (1956) of 19 January 1956 is not yet effected,

out his observation of the cease-fire pursuant to resolution 73 (1949) and to report to the Security Council

to take the steps necessary to carry out the present resolution, thereby increasing confidence and demonstrating their wish for peaceful conditions;

their efforts to achieve a constructive solution of the
question of general and complete disarmament under

The Security Council,

‘Having regard to the fact that reciprocal respect for
and the mutual protection of the sovereign rights of
States are an essential condition for their harmonious
coexistence,

rise to this situation would involve a breach of the
principles upon which international order is founded,
creating an atmosphere of insecurity and distrust incompatible with the preservation of peace,

of people in all countries that Eichmann should be

in no way be interpreted as condoning the odious crimes
of which Eichmann is accused,

[S/4741]

A

The Security Council,
Having considered the situation in the Congo,

Having learnt with deep regret of the announcement
of the killing of the Congolese leaders, Mr. Patrice
Lumumba, Mr. Maurice Mpolo and Mr. Joseph Okito,

Deeply concerned at the grave repercussions of these
crimes and the danger of widespread civil war and
bloodshed in the Congo and the threat to international
peace and security,

Noting the report of the Secretary-General’s Special
Representative, dated 12 February 1961, 3 bringing to
light the development of a serious civil war situation
and preparations therefor,

1. Urges that the United Nations take immediately
all appropriate measures to prevent the occurrence of
civil war in the Congo, including arrangements for
cease-fires, the halting of all military operations, the
prevention of clashes, and the use of force, if necessary,
in the last resort;

2. Urges that measures be taken for the immediate
withdrawal and evacuation from the Congo of all Belgian and other foreign military and paramilitary personnel and political advisers not under the United
Nations Command, and mercenaries;

3. Calls upon all States to take immediate and energetic measures to prevent the departure of such personnel
for the Congo from their territories, and for the denial
of transit and other facilities to them;

4. Decides that an immediate and impartial investigation be held in order to ascertain the circumstances
of the death of Mr. Lumumba and his colleagues and
that the perpetrators of these crimes be punished;

5. Reaffirms Security Council resolutions 143 (1960)
of 14 July 1960, 145 (1960) of 22 July 1960 and 146

The Security Council,

Gravely concerned at the continuing deterioration of
the situation in the Congo and at the prevalence of
conditions which seriously imperil peace and order
and the unity and territorial integrity of the Congo,
and threaten international peace and security,

Noting with deep regret and concern the systematic
violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms
and the general absence of the rule of law in the Congo,

Recognizing the imperative necessity for the restoration of parliamentary institutions in the Congo in accordance with the fundamental law of the country, so that
the will of the people should be reflected through the
freely elected Parliament,

Convinced that the solution of the problem of the
Congo lies in the hands of the Congolese people themselves without any interference from outside, and that
there can be no solution without conciliation,

Convinced further that the imposition of any solution, including the formation of any government not
based on genuine conciliation, would, far from settling
any issues, greatly enhance the dangers of conflict
within the Congo and the threat to international peace
and security,

1. Urges the convening of the Parliament and the
taking of necessary protective measures in that connexion;

2. Urges that Congolese armed units and personnel
should be reorganized and brought under discipline
and control, and arrangements made on impartial
and equitable bases to that end and with a view to the
elimination of any possibility of interference by such
units and personnel in the political life of the Congo;

3. Calls upon all States to extend their full co-operation and assistance, and to take such measures as may
be necessary on their part, for the implementation of
the present resolution.

[S/4835]

The Security Council,
Having considered the situation in Angola,

Deeply deploring the large-scale killings and the
severely repressive measures in Angola,

Taking note of the grave concern and strong reactions
to such occurrences throughout the continent of Africa
and in other parts of the world,

Convinced that the continuance of the situation in
Angola is an actual and potential cause of international
friction and is likely to endanger the maintenance of
international peace and security,

Recalling General Assembly resolution 1542 (XV) of
15 December 1960, declaring Angola among others a
Non-Self-Governing Territory within the meaning of
Chapter XI of the Charter of the United Nations, as
well as General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV) of
14 December 1960, by which the General Assembly
declared without dissent that the subjection of peoples
to alien subjugation, domination and exploitation constitutes a denial of fundamental human rights, is contrary
to the Charter of the United Nations and is an impediment to the promotion of world peace and cooperation,
and asked for immediate steps to be taken to transfer
all powers to the peoples of those territories, without
any conditions or reservations, in accordance with
their freely expressed will and desire, without any distinction as to race, creed or colour, in order to enable
them to enjoy complete independence and freedom,

1. Reaffirms General Assembly resolution 1603 (XV)
of 20 April 1961 and calls upon Portugal to act in accordance with the terms of that resolution;

2. Requests the Sub-Committee on the Situation in
Angola, appointed under the terms of the aforesaid
General Assembly resolution, to implement its mandate
without delay;

forthwith from repressive measures and further to extend
every facility to the Sub-Committee to enable it to
perform its task expeditiously;

4. Expresses the hope that a peaceful solution will
be found to the problem of Angola in accordance with
the Charter of the United Nations;

5. Requests the Sub-Committee to report to the
Security Council and the General Assembly as soon
as possible.
