The Soviet Union votes for this resolution.

This being a matter for the Security Council, we would support a resolution referring the situation to the Security Council, but not this resolution. This resolution jeopardises the breakdown of powers and responsibilities between the General Assembly and the Security Council, as established by the Charter of the United Nations. In other words, if this resolution passes, it may very well be the end of the United Nations. Therefore, we vote against.

We vote against this Resolution. We had figured that such a proposal would immediatly be seen in either the security council or most likely the General Assembly after the vietnamese resolution. It must be the communists are always right perhaps? I mean after all it is right for Communists not to have to hold elections, or obey treaties they sign. It is right for them to use brutal force of arms to overthrow governments, but the moment a capitalist country comes to aid against those forces it is in the wrong, but if it was communist coming to aid communist it would only be right.

The Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union has suggested elements of this resolution long ago, but simply they were not in a resolution form. This is the written form of our proposals. Furthermore, the French envoy would be rather interested to take off his blindfold and pay better attention to his surroundings during meetings of the General Assembly.

The ridiculous anti-communist rhetoric presented by the French government is beyond belief. Not only is socialism accused of being aggressive, not only we are accused of not obeying international law (while we have seen it is the exact opposite) but also you seek to justify slaughtering people simply for their political beliefs. We have not forgotten your imperialistic intervention in Italy.

And above all else, no matter how you seek to justify illegal imperialist actions, from the moment America unilaterally violated international law without even presenting the issue of the Colombian civil war before the United Nations and not even participating in related summits and discussions, such as this one, you automatically lose any right to call your actions angelic in an indirect manner.

It is a fact.

The United States of America have broken international law, and clearly violated the Charter of the United Nations. The French Republic stands besides them in this neo-colonialist imperialism. Both governments deserve equal condemnation for their warlike attitudes, and not giving peace a chance, or even attempting to feint as if they try to.

Please, save your "we had figured that" commentary for the next Anti-Comintern Pact summit.

The Byelorussian SSR votes for.

We would also like to remind the Canadian delegation that this is a non-binding resolution. It should be dealt with by the UNSC but there is no reason why the GA should not pass a resolution concerning the violence in Colombia.

This resolution is a petty and useless attempt by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to retaliate against the United States for the proposal (by the United Kingdom) to condemn the violent political repression that has been seen in Vietnam. Furthermore, the Soviet Union has not presented any real evidence that the United States or any other power for that matter is fuelling the Colombian violence. Perhaps we should launch an inquiry into possible Soviet aid to the Colombian insurgents?

OOC: You realise that the first use of sanctions by the United Nations was in 1966...against a rebellious colony...

The Government of the United States is committed to a policy of supporting legitimate foreign governments, friendly or hostile, who excercise a democratic form of government against intolerant extremist insurgents intent on destroying the democratic ideals every freedom-loving person holds dear.

The Colombian government has held democratic elections regularly since 1938, and the attempts of a few extremists holding limited support in the outskirts of that country will not be allowed to overthrow the legitimate authority.

We restate our commitment to the restoration of the full authority of the Colombian government, and vote with a strong NAY on this resolution.

The Colombian government is not legitimate. The ruling Conservative Party of Colombia has assassinated, murdered, threatened, intimidated among a host of illegal activites to stay in power. The Colombian Liberal Party, the Communist Party of Colombia are not standing for this injustice.

We are certainly glad that we don't share the same sort of violent democracy that the United States supports.

The Republic of Cuba votes against this resolution.

Truly, we of the Indonesian delegation see no relevance of the French delegation's statement. We see this only as anti-communist ranting and propaganda. If France wants to spread propaganda, please keep it out of the UN.

The Republic of Indonesia votes for. The resolution is acceptable, and condemns all those who supported the Colombian civil war.

Mr. Mohammad Roem
Head of the Indonesian delegation to the United Nations

Albania votes for this resolution.

-Albanian People's Representative to the United Nations

ooc: Three days of voting have passed, can an admin announce results?

4 in favor to 5 against among picked nations (I'm not countng USSR's two SSR accounts :P), but we have to take NPCs into account. I think captialist members of the UN are far more than socialist ones; does anyone know for sure?

OOC: I've found a map here. I hope it's accurate.

It shows that there is probably a clear capitalist majority.

ooc: This map shows military alliances, not UN members. There is... a difference.

OOC: Yes, but I think it's reasonable to assume that the countries aligned with the US will vote with the West, whereas the countries aligned with the USSR are probably going to vote with "them Commies".

The UN is basically useless and unfairly represented until we have every single member state with an active player (aka never).

ooc: This depends. Iran has no actual government, Thailand is pro-Soviet, and Iraq is rogue rather than favouring either side, so far...

OOC: I'm willing to concede you Thailand, however. Iraq is a theocratic autocratic monarchy with strict anti-communist beliefs. It hosts a major base for the United Kingdom in Basra and is tied to the United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan through multiple treaties and agreements. It is clearly, while not culturally pro-Western, diplomatically pro-Western. Furthermore, in relation to Iran, it would be represented by the old Royal ambassador, therefore clearly favouring the Royalist cause and therefore it's Western allies.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia votes AGAINST the resolution in question.

His Majesty's government in the United Kingdom voes against this heinous attempt to destabilise the government of Colombia and limit its sovereign powers. Any corrolation that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics draws between this situation and the one in Vietnam is erroneous, as Vietnam is bound by treaty to hold elections. Furthermore, the Colombian government is simply supressing a violent communist uprising, whereas the Vietnamese government was squashing the liberties of peaceful protestors.

The Democratic Republic of Vietnam condemns imperialism and hereby votes for this resolution.

Weary of American Imperialism and Interventionism in South American affairs,
Recognizing that bloodshed and anarchy in our neighbours and brothers solves nothing,
Resolving to Act on the International Stage to strengthen Argentina's domestic situation, and to set a good precedent for the defence of South American nation-states,

The Republic of Argentina hereby solemnly votes FOR this Resolution.
