UN General Assembly
1959

105. My Government notes with satisfaction the positive suggestions in the Secretary-General's report regarding the continuation of United Nations assistance and the need to avoid any steps unacceptable to the refugees themselves, but it cannot agree that the economic development of the area should be linked with the refugee problem, for that development is within the exclusive competence of the countries concerned. 106. On that subject, my Government is at one with its brother Arab States and unreservedly supports the joint plan for the settlement of the Palestine Arab refugee question [A/4236].
