31. The Government of the Republic of Guinea has often stated that it is less appreciative of intentions, whether they be good or bad, than of reality and of the impact of deeds as they relate to the specific interests of our peoples. It has also said that, in its view, intentions have never made history and can change nothing in this world unless they are translated into the corresponding deeds. 32. In the present case, we are compelled to recognize that up to now the action taken in the Republic of the Congo has tended rather to discredit the authority of the Congolese people and Government than to offer them disinterested assistance with a view to ensuring respect for Congolese institutions. When we study these acts, the conditions which have favoured them and their motivation,, we cannot but place on the United Nations the main burden of responsibility for the confusion created and cleverly sustained in world Opinion in order to disguise the nefarious action of the worst enemies of Congolese freedom and sovereignty.
