If that forum proved fruitless, it was be- cause the British matched our attitude of peace and negotiation not with a like spirit, but instead with the desire for domination of the region and with the cer- tainty that they could rely on the support of the coun- try which was soon to disregard resolution I of the Twentieth Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Organization of American States (OAS), adopted in Washington on 28 April [S//.5008, (//111(‘.~], and apply immediate sanctions. 40.
