Our previous telegram. [1] Draft resolution. begins-
whereas by the Linggadjati Agreement [2] the representatives of
the Netherlands Government and the Government of the Republic of
Indonesia expressed a sincere desire to ensure good relations
between the peoples of the Netherlands and Indonesia in new forms
of voluntary co-operation which offer the best guarantee for a
sound and strong development of both countries in the future and
which makes it possible to give a new foundation to the
relationship between the two peoples;

whereas by the Linggadjati and Renville [3] Agreements the
representatives of the Netherlands Government and the Government
of the Republic of Indonesia agreed to co-operate in the rapid
formation of a sovereign democratic state on a federal base to be
called the United States of Indonesia;

whereas under the Charter of the United Nations Member States have
agreed to settle their disputes by peaceful means in such a manner
that international peace and security, and justice are not
endangered, and have undertaken to carry out the decisions of the
Security Council;

whereas all members of the United Nations have agreed to refrain
in their international relations from the threat or use of force
against the territorial integrity or political independence of any
State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of
the United Nations;

whereas on 21st July 1947, and again on 18th December 1948, armed
forces of the Netherlands, for the purpose of destroying the
Republic, launched military operations against and occupied the
territory of the Republic of Indonesia;

whereas on 30th July 1947 the Security Council took cognisance of
the dispute between the Government of the Netherlands and the
Government of the Republic of Indonesia and has on various
occasions called on the parties to settle their dispute by
peaceful means and to enter into negotiations for the
establishment of a United States of Indonesia;

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
1. CONSIDERS that the military action launched by the Netherlands
Government against the Republic on 18th December 1948 constitutes
a flagrant breach of the Charter of the United Nations and
defiance of the efforts of the Security Council to bring about a
peaceful settlement in Indonesia;

2. RECOGNISES that the Security Council which has primary
responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and
security has called upon the parties to take measures for the
settlement of the dispute;

3. endorses the action of the Security Council in its resolution
[4] of 28th January 1949 in calling for the immediate
discontinuance of all its military operations, the immediate and
unconditional release by the Government of the Netherlands of all
political prisoners arrested by them since 17th December 1948, and
the provision by the Government of the Netherlands of facilities
for the immediate return of the Government of the Republic of
Indonesia to Djokjakarta with full powers of administration;

4. ENDORSES the recommendation of the Security Council in its
resolution of 28th January 1949 that negotiations be undertaken as
soon as possible by representatives of the Government of the
Netherlands and representatives of the Government of Indonesia,
with the assistance of the United Nations Commission for
Indonesia, in the interest of carrying out the expressed
objectives and desires of both parties to establish a federal,
independent, and sovereign United States of Indonesia at the
earliest possible date;

5. NOTES that at this date the decisions of the Security Council
have failed to be implemented in the following respects which
represent a breach by the Government of the Netherlands of its
obligations under the Charter:

I. Neither the military operations of the Government of the
Netherlands nor the guerilla warfare of the Government of the
Republic have ceased;

II. The Government of the Netherlands has not yet released
unconditionally all political prisoners arrested in the Republic
of Indonesia since 17th December 1948;

III. The Government of the Netherlands has not yet facilitated the
return of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to
Djokjakarta;

6. CONSIDERS that until the Government of the Netherlands has
carried out its obligations under paragraph 5 of this Resolution,
the progressive restoration of the civil administration of the
Republic in areas controlled by the Republic under the Renville
Agreement cannot be carried out; the Government of the Republic
will be unable to discharge its responsibilities and exercise its
appropriate functions in full freedom; and the Government of the
Republic will not be able to take part in negotiations with the
Government of the Netherlands in the knowledge that it reflects
the opinion and desires of the Republican people;

7. NOTES the absence of any recommended procedure for the
withdrawal of Netherlands forces in a manner consistent with the
implementation of the resolution of 28th January 1949;

8. NOTES with concern the deterioration in the economic life of
the area consequent upon the interruption of internal and external
trade and domestic production caused by Netherlands military
action and Netherlands restrictions on trade and the interruption
in the free use by the Government of the Republic of facilities
for communication with the outside world;

9. CALLS the attention of the Security Council to-
I. the situation described in paragraphs 5,6,7 and 8 of this
resolution and to the serious delay in the implementation of the
Security Council's decisions which together continue to endanger
international peace and security, and
II. the urgency of a settlement of the dispute by the Security
Council in accordance with the purposes and principles of the
United Nations and the desire of all peace-loving members of the
United Nations;

10. TRANSMITS to the Security Council the records of the
discussion in the General Assembly of the Indonesian question,
expressing its concern that orders by the Council have not been
implemented.
