The passage in operative paragraph 10 to which his deleqation objected called for mobilizing public opinion in a Member State of the United Nations. There was, to his knowledge, no other resolution anywhere within the United Nations system which contained a similar invitation. The passaqe represented an open and straightforward attempt to defy Article 2, paragraph 7 of 'the Charter.

The CHAIRMAN announced that Cameroon had informed him that the amendment contained in document A/C.4/39/L.l0 was being withdrawn by the African Group and drew attention to the Arabic text of document A/C.4/39/L.8 which had been reissued because of a typographical error. He suggested that the Committee could take action on the draft resolutions and the amendments at a subsequent meeting.
