129. In another part of Africa, the Congo (Leopoldville), for whose unity Mr. Hammarskjold gave his life, we supported the way in which the situation was handled by him, and once again we confirm this support. The recent operation undertaken by the United Nations Force was, in the view of my delegation, in accordance with the Security Council's resolution of 21 February 1961.Indeed, we must not shirk our responsibilities in following through with such action as is necessary to achieve a united Congo.
