Extract
On July 31,1947, the Security Council began its discussion of the Indonesia question as the result of communications from two Members of the United Nations. India, under Article 35(1) of the Charter, contended that the “large scali military action against the Indonesian people” initiated by the Dutch endangered the maintenance of international peace under Article 34. Australia stated that the hostilities between the armed forces “of the Netherlands and of the Republic of Indonesia” constituted a breach of the peace under Article 39 and suggested that the Council should call upon the two governments to cease hostilities and commence arbitration in accordance with Article 17 of the Linggadjati Agreement signed by the two parties on March 25, 1947.

25 Dutch advances had created spearheads between which were large Republican forces. The Republicans were ordered to cease hostilities but to resist attack. The Dutch drew a line between the points of the spearhead, resisted efforts to provision the by-passed Republican groups, and continued “police operations” between the spearheads on the ground that they were entitled to control the area around major holding points.

45 Editor's Note. Mr. Lopez, who had indicated his general approval of the Brazilian resolution in the preliminary discussions, was subjected to some criticism both for introducing his resolution at the last moment and for abstaining from a vote on the Braresolution since his abstention made the difference between approval and disapprovnl of the motion.
