Security Council

Abstract

The Security Council considered this question at its 1050th–1056th meetings, July 31–August 7, 1963. At the invitation of the President the representatives of Tunisia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Madagascar took places at the Security Council table. The question was being considered at the request of 32 African governments which had sent a letter to the President of the Security Council asking the Council to take up "the explosive situation existing in the Republic of South Africa" which they alleged constituted a serious threat to international peace and security. The letter was accompanied by an explanatory memorandum setting forth the important provisions of a resolution on this subject adopted by the heads of African states at Addis Ababa on May 22–25, 1963.
