Soviet Resolution
The General Assembly
Deeply alarmed by the armed
aggression against the Republic of Cuba and considering this aggression
as a grave threat to general peace and security,
Condemns the aggressive
actions of the United States and other countries on whose territories counterrevolutionary
bands are being formed, trained and armed, and from whose territories invasion
of the territory of the Cuban Republic is being carried out;
Demands the immediate disarming
of all counterrevolutionary bands on the territory of the United States
and other countries, which are being prepared for aggression against Cuba;
Demands that the governments
of all member states of the United Nations cease any assistance to such
bands and desist from making their territory available to them for the
preparation and carrying out of aggressive actions against Cuba;
Calls on all member states
of the United Nations to render necessary assistance to the Government
of the Republic of Cuba which it may request to repulse the aggression.
7-Nation Resolution
The General Assembly,
Having heard the statements
made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, by the representative
of the United States of America and by other representatives,
Deeply concerned over the
situation described therein, which is disturbing the American continent
and the continuation of which could endanger peace,
Recalling the last two paragraphs
of the resolution adopted by the Security Council on July 19, 1960, and
the peaceful means of settlement established at the seventh meeting of
consultation of Foreign Ministers of the American Republics,
Considering that the member
states of the United Nations are required to settle their disputes by negotiation
and other peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and
security, and justice, are not endangered;
1. Appeals to those member
states which belong to the Organization of American States to lend their
assistance in order that a settlement may be achieved by peaceful means
in accordance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter
and of the Charter of the Organization of American States;
2. Appeals to all member
states to abstain from any action which may aggravate existing tensions.
Mexican Resolution
The General Assembly
Having heard the statements
made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Cuba, by the representative
of the United States of American and by other representatives;
Deeply concerned over the
situation described therein, the continuation of which is likely to endanger
peace,
Considering that it is a
permanent aim of the United Nations to develop friendly relations based
on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-discrimination of
peoples,
Firmly believing that the
principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of any state imposes
an obligation on members of the United Nations to refrain from encouraging
or promoting civil strife in other states,
Mindful that it is the duty
of all states, under Article 33 of the Charter, to seek a pacific statement
of disputes by the means provided therein,
1. Makes an urgent appeal
to all states to ensure that their territories and resources are not used
to promote the civil war in Cuba;
2. Urges them to put an
immediate end to any activity that might result in further bloodshed;
3. Request them to cooperate,
in keeping with the spirit of the Charter, in the search for a peaceful
solution to the present situation.
