48. The situation in South-East Asia also remains one which is fraught with danger. The invasion of South Viet-Nam by North VietNamese regular forces through the demilitarized zone last May has brought untold suffering to the people of South Viet-Nam. While the onslaught met with failure, the military operations had the effect of prolonging and enlarging the war, thus lessening the chances for a political settlement. 49. Laos and the Khmer Republic continue to be subjected to interference by outside Powers, and the presence and military activities of the North VietNamese regular troops against the legally constituted Governments of the countries are in violation of the United Nations Charter and relevant international agreements.
