UN General Assembly
1956

At its eleventh session the General Assembly is facing critical and difficult problems which demand our full attention. We have before us various matters which must be examined strictly in accordance with the terms of the Charter. My delegation will try to give its views on the most important of these matters so as to establish its position in regard to them. 58. First of all, let me refer to agenda items 66 and 67 which are being considered in plenary session. 59. Item 66 is entitled “Question considered by the first emergency special session of the General Assembly from 1 to 10 November 1956”. 60. At this stage of the general debate, having studied the various resolutions adopted by the General Assembly, we consider it our duty as a Member of this international Organization, to state emphatically that we wish to see all forces still on Egyptian soil other than those of the United Nations, leave Egypt as soon as possible.
