UN General Assembly

8 78. The Government of the Republic of China has for the past 25 years been permitted to sit in this Organization as the Government of China, Now, the view of the Sierra Leone Government-and, we trust, of the great majority of the Members here-is that the Government of the Republic of China no longer has the right to be admitted here as the de jure Government of the entire country known as China, a country for which certain express provisions are laid down in the Charter of the United Nations. Under such circumstances, it is OUT hope that the representatives of the Government of the Republic of China will agree to retire with the same grace with which they have hitherto been permitted to attend previous sessions. And if they refuse to retire peacefully, then they may have to be expelled.
