1. “However, my delegation wishes to reaffirm that any just and lasting settlement of the Middle East crisis must of necessity take into account the following considerations: first, the exercise by the Palestinian people of their national rights, including the right to self-determination; secondly, the immediate withdrawal of Israel from all the Arab territories occupied by force, including the Holy City of Jerusalem; thirdly, the guarantee of the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence of all States in the region, which have all an equal right to live in peace within legitimate borders. 143.”

2. “Outside the African continent, conflicts drag on eternally, particularly in the Middle East and in Asia. 139. The situation prevailing in the Middle East receives particular attention from my delegation, which reaffirms through me the unswerving position of my country. 140. We note with bitterness that the settlement of problems in this region has made very little progress. Quite the contrary, there is a worsening of the situation because of the arrogance of Israel, whose rigidity is in fact blocking every attempt at a peaceful settlement. 141. A priori, the Government of Mali, for its part, is not opposed to any initiative designed to bring peace back to the Middle East. 142.”

3. “Our Assembly will have need of such trump cards in order to deal with the many delicate questions of concern to the populations of the 150 States represented in this Assembly. 135. These concerns are, on the one hand, international peace and security and, on the other hand, something without which that international peace and security can never be guaranteed—I refer to the world economic and social situation. 136. Indeed, we are among those who believe that it is just as important for the international community to deal with economic and social questions as with the dangerous situations that exist in some countries and regions of the world. 137. With regard to these explosive situations, we are unfortunately bound to admit that this last year again saw serious tensions in international relations. 138.”

4. “Turning now to this, the thirty-third, regular session of the General Assembly, which has brought us together here, I should like, on behalf of the people and authorities of Mali, to convey my warmest congratulations to the great people of Colombia on the signal tribute which the international community has paid to it by electing to the presidency of the General Assembly of. our Organization one of its best sons in the person of Mr. Lievano, the Colombian Minister for Foreign Affairs. Your great personal attributes, Mr. President, your broad experience of international affairs, based on your long and brilliant career and the quality of the officers of the thirty-third session of the General Assembly, together with the competence of the Secretary-General and his devoted colleagues, ensure the sound and efficient guidance of our work. 134.”

5. “A member of the Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples since its inception, my country cannot but welcome the accession to independence of Solomon Islands. We salute the struggle of that valiant people. The admission of that country to our Organization brings the United Nations closer to its ultimate objective of universality. My delegation welcomes the sister delegation of Solomon Islands, and through me, wishes to assure it of our loyal and brotherly co-operation. 133.”

6. “129. 130. First of all, may I express the emotion felt by my delegation and by me on learning this morning of the sudden death of His Holiness Pope John Paul 1.1 should like to associate myself on behalf of my delegation with the feelings of sadness of the whole Christian community. 131. Next, Mr. President, I wish to thank and congratulate your predecessor, Mr. Lazar Mojsov, who so competently conducted the thirty-second regular session of the General Assembly and the eighth, ninth and tenth special sessions. It was a performance unique in the annals of our Organization, which nevertheless is now entering its thirty- third year. Mr. Lazar Mojsov brought honour to his native Yugoslavia, a country with which my country, Mali, has very friendly relations which have been most fruitful since our attainment of international sovereignty. 132.”
