UN General Assembly
1967

54. The flames of national liberation wars are leaping ever higher in the South of the Arabian Peninsula. The soil is burning under the feet of the British colonialists. They are being forced to leave Aden and South Arabia. But before leaving they are trying to preserve their domination, their economic and military positions in that region and to foist upon the people of Aden and South Arabia a puppet regime that would serve the interests of the British Crown. The United Nations should render to the peoples of Aden and South Arabia all possible assistance and support in their legitimate struggle for genuine freedom and independence. 55. The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic supports all the decisions of the General Assembly aimed at the earliest elimination of the colonial regimes. We favour the immediate granting of independence to the peoples of colonial Territories.
