02121957 Text of the speech made by Mr. Noon (Pakistan) in the Security Council meeting No. 808 held on 2 December, 1957.

My delegation has listened with great attention to the statements of the sponsors of the resolution and of the amendments, as well as to the statements of the other members of the Council. On our parts, we regret that the specific objects that were mentioned in the resolution, particularly in regard to demilitarization, are not emphasized in the amendments, which, we apprehend, may permit the reopening of many subsidiary issues that have already been discussed in great detail and settled by the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan and the various United Nations representatives.

We note that the terms of reference of the United Nations representative will cover the implementation of the resolutions adopted by the Commission for India and Pakistan on 13 August 1948 [S/1100, para. 75] and 5 January 1949 [S/1196, para. 15], which constitute an international agreement by which both the Governments of India and of Pakistan are bound. For this reason, we shall not be opposed to the amended resolution, which is designed to further the full implementation of the two resolutions of the Commission.

I must reiterate that it is our firm conviction that part I of the resolution adopted by the Commission for India and Pakistan on 13 August 1948 has already been fully and faithfully implemented. My Government is confident that Mr. Frank P. Graham, who has already certified this fact, will proceed as expeditiously as possible to deal with part II. I have already stated before the Security Council that my Government will offer full cooperation to Mr. Graham, whom we hold in high esteem.
