601 ংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ত্রয়োদশ খন্ড its war of aggression against China, the Italian facists unleashed their war of aggression against Ethiopia and Hitler's Germany annexed one European country after another. In the end that led to the outbreak of world War II and the League of Nations collapsed thereafter. Historical lessons merit attention. The United Nations is now facing a situation similar to that of the 30s. The flames of the war of aggression launched by India are spreading, meanacint the peace of Asia and the world. The United Nations must overcome the obstructions by the Soviet Union and speedily adopt measures to hold back this dangerous situation. First of all, it must draw a clear line of distinction between the aggressor and the victim of aggression, strongly condemn the aggressor and must give firm support to the victim of aggression. It should not take an ambiguous stand still less should it abet and shield the aggressor. Under the manipulation of the one or two superpowers, the United Nations made in the past quite a few mistakes in this respect in contravention of the majority of member-states. The United Nations must learn from the lessons of history and must in no way embark on the old path of the League of Nations. 4. China maintains that the United Nations: (1)Must strongly condemn India's aggression against Pakistan and thoroughly expose the shameless support given by the Soviet social-imperialists to the Indian aggressors; (2)Must call upon all countries to support the Pakistan Government and people in their just struggle against Indian aggression; (3)Must call upon the Indian Government to withdraw immediately and unconditionally from Pakistan territory the armed forces and armed personnel sent by it and call upon the Pakistan Government to withdraw the armed forces which it sent into Indian territory for counter-attack; (4)Calls upon both India and Pakistan to cease-fire immediately on the basis of the withdrawal of the armed forces of each side from the territory of the other; (5)Recommends that the armed forces of the two sides withdraw respectively from the border between India and Pakistan and disengage from each other so as to create conditions for a peaceful settlement of the disputes between India and Pakistan. Mr. President, Fundamentally speaking, the dispute between India and Pakistan is a legacy of the British imperialist rule in the Indian Subcontinent. The Chinese Government has consistently held that the new independent Afro-Asian countries should resolve their disputes in a friendly way through consultation on an equal basis. They must not be taken in by the imperialists. This remains our stand today. Should the Indian Government obdurately cling to its course, it will only eat the bitter fruits of its own making. If the Soviet Government acts in the same fashion, it will come to no good end either.
