UN General Assembly
1965

85. I should now like to refer to another part of the Arabian Peninsula. The people of Oman, whose problem is on the agenda of the twentieth session, are still subjected to colonial policies and foreign intervention. The Ad Hoc Committee on Oman has submitted its report, which brings the Omani question to a new stage in the United Nations. Despite the fact that the United Kingdom did not allow the Ad Hoc Committee to visit Oman, the conclusions and findings presented in the Committee's report shed an important light on the nature of the Oman question. The Committee ascertained the colonial character of the question and the flagrant armed intervention committed by the United Kingdom in the affairs of the people of Oman.
