Abstract

Big Powers vs. the U.N
Stotle, Jane | December 31, 1960 issue

add to cart   close window

The fifteenth U.N. General Assembly ended as it began, seized with the Congo, Brazzaville problem. The question was brought up, dropped and brought up again in the U.N. Security Council, the Assembly and most frequently in the corridors. What had begun as a promise for a brave, new world for the newly independent Congo ended in bleak failure as the Assembly rejected both of tile two final resolutions dealing with the deteriorating situation in Leopoldville. The Congo question will reappear when the Assembly session resumes in March, 1961. One can only hope that a clearer and more adroit Congo policy will by then have emerged and that the Congo will have withstood its present chaotic condition sufficiently to benefit from it.
