106. Mr. EIDE, speaking on a point of order, said that the world was facing an extremely ominous moment in international relations. The Sub-Commission had heard the very eloquent plea made by the Chairman of the Commission regarding the fate of foreign nationals in Kuwait and Iraq who were being deprived of the right to leave. A very serious escalation might be imminent. The Sub-Commission therefore needed to make an appeal. In order to be able to find the best approach and to have the widest possible consensus, he moved that the public meeting be closed and that the Sub-Commission then hold a brief private meeting on the subject. 107. It was so agreed. The meeting rose at 5.50 p.m.
