Text of the Speech made by the President. Mr. Arthar J. Goldberg in the Security Council Meeting No. 1245 held on 27 September 1965

In addition to the report of the Secretary-General which is included in the agenda [S/6710 and Add. 1-2] and to the other relevant documents which were circulated this morning, an additional report by the Secretary-General has just been submitted in documents S/6719, to which I should like to draw. the attention of members of the Council.

We now have a draft resolution which reflects the consensus of the members of the Council on the basis of my consultations with them. The text is as follows:

"The Security Council,

"Noting the reports of the Secretary-General (S/6710 and Add. 1 and 2),

"Reaffirming its resolutions 209 (1965) of 4 September, 210 (1965) of 6 September and 211 (1965) of 20 September 1965,

"Expressing its grave concern that the cease-fire agreed to unconditionally by the Governments of India and Pakistan is not holding,

"Recalling that the cease-fire demand in the Council's resolutions was unanimously endorsed by the Council and agreed to by the Governments of both India and Pakistan,

"Demands that the parties urgently honour their commitments to the Council to observe the cease-fire, and further calls upon the parties promptly to withdraw all armed personnel as necessary steps in the full implementation of resolution 210 (1965).**

We note that the representative of Jordan made a reservation to resolution 211 (1965) of 20 September at the time of its adoption, which reservation is still maintained.

I have had no request from any member of the Council to speak. Since this draft resolution has been fully discussed in the informal consultations which have taken place throughout the day, if I hear no objection and if there are no other requests to speak, I shall consider the draft resolution adopted.
