tionfiom Arabic): It seems that if a human being wants a certificate of good conduct, he must perpetrate some massa- cres. We all know about those massacres, and we do not have to recall them here because they would make one feel disgusted. We all know what happened at Deir Yassin, at Kibya, at Sabra and Shatila and at Bahr Al-Bakhar. While we are sitting here and listening to this debate, bodies are being dug out from the rubble in Tunisia, the bodies of women and children. I do not want to talk about this subject. 171. All those who spoke yesterday and today have con; demned that barbaric aggressive,act. Nobody has deviated from that position. l72. I do want to explain one thing. I was sitting behind my Minister when he was speaking this afternoon and there was a mistake in the interpretation. What my Minister said was that the international community must take action to confront this type of aggression; otherwise it would be faced with the situation that faced the international community at the time of Hitler and Mussolini. The price for that would be paid. by all peoples, including the American people, the Libyan people and all peace-loving peopie. 173. The PRESIDENT: I shall now make a statement in exercise of the right of reply in my capacity as representa- tive of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 174. I have heard here today a series of intemperate attacks on my country from the representatives of Cuba and Libya. My country has fought two great wars for human freedom in this century. We have annexed no terri- tory, nor.have we enslaved any people. In my countrythe people are free to choose their own Government. 175. My country has suffered grievously at the hands bf terrorists. Many American ambassadors ‘have been killed.
