234. With regard to the question of Chad, Senegal would reaffirm its commitment to the sacrosanct principles of respect for the territorial integrity of sovereign and independent States.

The people of Chad has suffered too long from the divisions imposed on it from outside and from repeated attacks on its sovereignty.
