UN General Assembly
1961

151. There has been a deliberate attempt to make a farce of these resolutions. Dozens of mercenaries expelled from Katanga have come back and resumed their vile work of hatred and destruction. My Government cannot tolerate this situation. If the United Nations is unable to authorize its representatives in the Congo to detain the arrested persons, then nothing can prevent the Congolese Government from acting on its own initiative to detain, try and sentence to severe penalties any foreigners who, in defiance of the Congo's laws, are organizing an irregular army in our territory and taking part in subversive and terrorist movements. 152. The situation is serious. Either we solve these problems once and for all or we allow this farce to continue and as a result wilfully expose the lives of United Nations soldiers and civilian officials to grave danger. My Government cannot accept responsibility for such a policy.
