Resolution 1.

This Conference of representatives of Governments of Afghanistan
etc., affirms their support of purposes and principles of United
Nations and obligations of all member states to accept its
decision; having considered the situation in Indonesia in the
light of all available data and in particular the reports
submitted by G.O.C. of the Security Council; finding that the
Dutch military action launched December 18th, 1948, constitutes a
flagrant breach of the Charter of the United Nations and a
violation of the efforts of the Security Council and its G.O.C. to
bring about a peaceful settlement; noting that the Netherlands
authorities have failed to give full effect to the resolution [2]
of the Security Council adopted after that date; finding further
that this action is directed against the very existence of the
Republican Government which the Security Council, several member
Governments of the United Nations including the Netherlands
Government itself have recognised; conscious of the danger to the
peace of South East Asia and of the world through the continuance
of hostilities in Indonesia, sympathise in full with aspirations
of the Indonesian people to attain their independence; recognise
preservation of peace and promotion of democratic freedom
constituting high and steadfast purpose of United Nations; firmly
convinced Security Council is rightfully seized of situation under
art 39 [3] of the United Nations Charter; recommends to Security
Council, United Nations:

A(1). That members of Republican Government and other Republican
leaders in Indonesia should be immediately restored to complete
freedom;

(2). That Republican Government should be enabled to function
freely and to this end
(i). the Residency of Jogjakarta should be handed back immediately
to the Republic. The Netherlands authorities should afford the
Government of the Republic such facilities as may reasonably be
required by that Government for its effective functioning in this
area and for communication with and consultation with all persons
in Indonesia.

(ii). such areas [of] islands of Java, Sumatra, Madura as were
held by Government of the Republic on December 18th, 1948, should
be restored to Republic not later than March 15th.

(b). Progressively from rest of Republican territory mentioned in

1949; Republican force should similarly be withdrawn from any new
territory which [they] [4] may have occupied after December 18th.

by the Security Council. In order that the formation of a United
States of Indonesia should be in conformity with the will of the
Indonesian people the G.O.C. shall not permit the formation of any
new regional Government.

(4). That such Interim Government should enjoy full powers of
internal Government including control over its armed forces. To
ensure this all the Dutch troops should be withdrawn from the
whole of Indonesia on a date to be determined by the G.O.C. or

withdrawal Dutch should not be used for maintenance of law and
order except at the request of the Interim Government and with the

completed by October 1st, 1949.

(7). That powers over these territories should be completely
transferred by January 1st, 1950, to the United States of
Indonesia whose relationship with the Netherlands should be
settled by negotiations between the Governments of the United
States of Indonesia and of the Netherlands.

(8). That the G.O.C. or any other body appointed by the Security
Council be given authority to secure the application of the
foregoing recommendations under the supervision of the Security
Council, to whom it should report as frequently as may be
necessary.

(b). In the event of either party to the dispute not complying
with recommendations of Security Council the Council should take
effective action under the wide powers conferred upon it by the
Charter, to enforce the said recommendations. The member States of
U.N. represented at this Conference pledge their full support to
the Council in the application of these measures.

matters dealt with in this resolution (and on other matters of

represented at the Conference should request Secretary-General of
the United Nations to place Indonesian problems on the agenda of

exists that such a resolution will offend members of the Council
and prejudice response to foregoing resolution.)
Resolution regarding economic assistance to Indonesia will not be
accepted.
