UN General Assembly
1960

15. We support the work started, maintained and still being done by the United Nations under the supervision of the Secretary-General, in whom we have full confidence. This confidence in the United Nations and the commendation of its actions were given clear expression in the third resolution of the meeting of African Foreign Ministers in Leopoldville under the presidency of Mr. Lumumba. The United Nations should undertake this international obligation until the voice of the Congo, as a free and independent Member State of this Organization, is heard from this rostrum. We object to any intervention, whether military, political, or in any guise or shape, outside the framework of the United Nations. The Congolese issue should be absolutely insulated from any unilateral action and, in particular, from the effects of the cold war.
