no desire for negotiations then public debate is
not likely to do than aggravate the situation"
It was quite apparent to all who heard him that
he was speaking of the Arabs when he said: "The
experience of the past two years proves that the
readiness of disputant states to bring their diff
ferences under direct review is likely to be the first
step in the resolution of their conflict. For any
state or group of states to refuse to attempt
settlement by direct contact and free negotiation
would clearly be to violate the essence of the
Charter and to swim against the whole current of
contemporary international experience"
Mr.. Eban provided what was, in the opinion
of most delegates at the commemorative meetings,
the frankest and most realistic appraisal of the
United Nations. He did not deny its achievements
which had been heartening but he said that it
had failed as security organization. Not only had
the reinforcement powers of the Security Council
proved illusory' the Israeli representative said,
but "the alternative procedures envisaged for the
General Assembly in the Uniting for Peace reso-
luton have similarly remained unimplemented."
He went on to say that "while collective security
has made its main advances outside the United
Nations in the form of regional, bilateral and col
lective alliances for self defense, the emphasis of
United Nations action has shifted from enforce
ment to Cancellation and pacific settlement"
