Extract
During the period under review, the India-Pakistan question was before the Security Council during six sessions. On May 5 and 6, 1948, India and Pakistan respectively replied to the Security Council resolution of April 21, 1948. Mr. Nehru, Prime Minister and Minister of External Affairs, stated that the Government of India regretted that it was “not possible for them to implement those parts of the Resolution against which their objections were clearly stated by their delegation” but that if the Council should still decide to send out the Commission, the Indian Government “would be glad to confer with it.” Sir Mohamed Zafrullah Khan, for Pakistan, pointing out the differences between the resolution of April 21 and Pakistan's original proposals, stated that the Security Council action was “not acceptable,” but “under protest and without prejudice” designated Argentina as Pakistan's nominee for the Commission.

15 Editor's note: Although the Chinese representative (Hsiu) explained that he voted against the President's ruling because he regarded it as incorrect, not because he did not consider China bound by the Four Power Statement, Mr. Gromyko charged that the Chinese vote was contrary to the obligations assumed by China as a signatory of the Statement on Voting Procedure.

38 This paragraph was adopted after a number of other formulae had been suggested. The Arab League representatives insisted that continued Jewish immigration would react to the advantage of Israel during the truce; Jewish representatives insisted that immigration was entirely a matter within the domestic jurisdiction of Israel.

51 Security Council use of the designation ”Provisional Government of Israel” required three separate votes. The United States representative (Jessup) insisted that designation of Jewish authorities as the Provisional Government of Israel did not constitute a recognition of the new state by the United Nations, citing similar action by the Council in referring to the “Republic of Indonesia.” A Syrian amendment to base action upon the report of the Mediator was defeated when supported only by Syria, Belgium, Argentina and China. A United Kingdom amendment to use the phrase “other party” in place of the Provisional Government of Israel was defeated when supported only by Belgium and Colombia with the other members abstaining.

52 Reference to Article 40 in this section of the resolution failed of adoption when, on an Argentine motion, Syria voted in the negative, and the Ukraine and the Soviet Union joined Argentina and China in abstaining.
53 A Soviet amendment proposing that both sides withdraw from Jerusalem and the Special Statute approved by the General Assembly be put into effect failed of passage when supported by the Soviet Union and the Ukrainian SSR with Syria opposed and the other members abstaining.

Editor's Note: Mr. Van Kleffens has brought to the Editor's attention the fact that an earlier summary of the Indonesian question (Vol. II, p. 80, note 3) implied that the Netherlands Government had officially registered the Linggadjati Agreement under Article 102 of the Charter. The entry referred to quoted a statement by Faris el-Khouri (Syria) which was later denied by Mr. Van Kleffens who asserted that the Agreement had been sent to the Security Council “not for registration, but for information only.”
