UN General Assembly

127. Although we are convinced that there is no need whatsoever for any foreign troops to remain in West Berlin any longer in order to guarantee its independence, the Soviet Government has given its consent to the temporary stationing of token military units in that city. Our proposal on the subject Are known and there is no need to repeat them. One variant of our Proposal is that token contingents of United Nations troops should stationed in West Berlin. What is wrong with a proposal that the United Nations should show itself and demonstrate its will to peace in such an important area, as the center of Europe? When United Nations guarantees are rejected, and the presence of NATO troops is categorically insisted upon, it become even clearer that considerations of ensuring the independence of West Berlin and the freedom of its population do not really count with the Western Powers.
