  1. “Paraguay reiterates its faith and its confidence in the United Kingdom, France, Israel and Egypt. We hope that those nations, traditional friends of Paraguay, will return to the path of international understanding and that under the auspices of the United Nations they will resolve their problems with justice and with renewed faith in the future of the world. 67. The other aspect of the Middle East conflict is the practical matter of clearing the Suez Canal, as envisaged in the General Assembly resolution of 24 November 1956 of which Canada, Colombia, the United States of America, India, Norway and Yugoslavia had been the sponsors.”

  2. “As such it cannot but protest when the right of sovereignty which it claims for itself is denied to another country or to other peoples. 64. For that reason it has supported and voted in favour of all the resolutions proposed in this Assembly to secure the earliest possible withdrawal of the United Kingdom, French and Israel forces from Egyptian territory. Let us hope that the support we have given to the United Nations will help to bring about the withdrawal of those forces. 65. Once that objective has been attained, we are firmly convinced that the United Nations must make an all-out effort to resolve the serious and longstanding problem of the Middle East, not in part but in its entirety, for it is apparent that unless we can be sure of an atmosphere of calm we shall never have peace and security in that part of the world. 66.”

  3. “Paraguay, a country which will brook no compromise where its sovereignty is concerned, is adamant in its position on this aspect of international law. We maintain that the sovereignty of a people ends where the sovereignty of other peoples begins. There can be no international excuse for non-national forces, with the exception of the supervisory forces of the United Nations, where necessary and by agreement, to occupy the territory of a free and sovereign nation. 63. The history of Paraguay written in heroism, suffering and blood that our people may be worthy of the heritage of our forefathers, is a call to the present generation and even more to its rulers. Paraguay has always been and will always be a jealous defender of its sovereignty.”

  4. “At this stage of the general debate, having studied the various resolutions adopted by the General Assembly, we consider it our duty as a Member of this international Organization, to state emphatically that we wish to see all forces still on Egyptian soil other than those of the United Nations, leave Egypt as soon as possible. 61. We insist that it is the duty of the Israel forces to return to the lines established by the Armistice Agreement of 1949 and that the other countries which still have troops on Egyptian soil should likewise withdraw them. It is the duty of the Governments of the United Kingdom and France, as Member States responsible for safeguarding international peace and security, to take immediately whatever measures may be necessary to ensure that the withdrawal of their forces is carried out as quickly as possible. 62.”

  5. “At its eleventh session the General Assembly is facing critical and difficult problems which demand our full attention. We have before us various matters which must be examined strictly in accordance with the terms of the Charter. My delegation will try to give its views on the most important of these matters so as to establish its position in regard to them. 58. First of all, let me refer to agenda items 66 and 67 which are being considered in plenary session. 59. Item 66 is entitled “Question considered by the first emergency special session of the General Assembly from 1 to 10 November 1956”. 60.”
