UN General Assembly
1960

23. The time has come for the General Assembly to find a just and democratic solution for the Algerian question, a solution more realistic than previous recommendations. Negotiations have failed because of France's determination to suppress by force the right of Algerians to self-determination. It now falls to the United Nations to work out a plan for the implementation of the principles of self-determination in Algeria. The Algerian Government, guided by its genuine desire to end the war and by the principles of the Charter, and according to law and justice, has suggested a solution by means of a plebiscite to be carried out under the supervision and control of the United Nations.
