Extract

At the initiative of the President of the Council, Arthur J. Goldberg (United States), the Security Council met on September 4, 1965, to consider the India-Pakistan question. Mr. Goldberg explained that, following consultations with the Secretary-General, he had decided to call a meeting of the Council because of the gravity of the military news from Kashmir and because it appeared that the UN observers there were being prevented from carrying out their functions freely. He also informed the Council that on September 1 the Secretary-General had sent to the Prime Minister of India and the President of Pakistan an appeal for a cease-fire. Although objections of a procedural nature were raised by the representative of the Soviet Union, the Council decided to consider the question. At the invitation of the President representatives of India and Pakistan took seats at the Council table.
