"To my Special Representative, tothe Acting Commander of the Forcein Cyprus, and to all members ofthe Force and civilian personl1el en­gaged in the mission, I wish onuagain to pay tribute for the skilled,effective and devoted way in whichthey continued to carry cut theirduties.

Thatcountry, he said, failed to giveeffect to the principle of self­determination as laid down inthe resolutions, and there wasno sign of a reversal in itspolicy of political and econo­mic integration of the territo­ries with Portugal., The Secretary-General saidthat the refusal of South Afri­ca to co-operate in carryingout UN resolutions concerningthe territory of South West A­frica was likewise a mattel' ofserious concern. Far from cea­sing to apply apartheid poli­cies in that territory, he saidSouth Africa seemed to be ta­king further steps to carrythem out, including measuresleading to the establishment ofnon-European "homelands".

Addressing the Committeeas it opened its first meetingof the year last Tuesday, theUnited Nations Secretary-Ge­neral, U Thant, pointed outtl~at the majority of delega­tions to the last General As­sembly had expressed seriousconcern regarding the conU­,nued delays in the emancipa­tion of colonial peoples. -

'It needs to be said df Cyp­rus, in full frankness, I believe, thatit remains stHl 10 bfil demonstrationthal there is 0 gelluine will to peaceamong the leaders of the two com­munities of sufflciel1t earnestness andil1tensity to lead them toward thosemutual accammodatiol1s in viewpointand position which are essential' topacific settlement.
