Abstract

During the period under review, the India-Pakistan question was before the Security Council during six sessions. On May 5 and 6, 1948, India and Pakistan respectively replied to the Security Council resolution of April 21, 1948. Mr. Nehru, Prime Minister and Minister of External Affairs, stated that the Government of India regretted that it was "not possible for them to implement those parts of the Resolution against which their objections were clearly stated by their delegation" but that if the Council should still decide to send out the Commission, the Indian Government "would be glad to confer with it." Sir Mohamed Zafrullah Khan, for Pakistan, pointing out the differences between the resolution of April 21 and Pakistan's original proposals, stated that the Security Council action was "not acceptable," but "under protest and without prejudice" designated Argentina as Pakistan's nominee for the Commission.
