940 ংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ত্রয়োদশ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ সোভিয়েত প্রতিনিধি মিঃ জ্যাকব জাতিসংঘ ডকুমেন্টস ৬ ডিসেম্বর, ১৯৭১ মালিকের বিবৃতি STATEMENT BY MR. JACOB MALIK, REPRESENTATIVE OF THE U.S.S.R.-DECEMBER 6,1971 The Security Council has before it a draft resolution of five powers Members of the Council, which is contained in document S/10425. The Soviet Delegation has no doubt about the good intentions and sincerity of purpose of the cosponsors of this draft resolution, or their desire to contribute to the solution of the problem which the Council has before it. However, this draft, like certain other drafts which have thus far been submitted for the consideration of the Security Council, has one substantive defect; it deals with only one side of the serious problem that has arisen in East Pakistan and its international consequences which have complicated the situation in the Hindustan Peninsula, namely, the cessation of military action undertaken by the Pakistan armed forces against neighboring India. After an intensive and comprehensive discussion that has lasted for two days, add in view of the information and obvious facts which, as a result of the documents that have been submitted and the discussion of the problem here, are now before the Security Council, there can be no doubt left in anybody's mind that the main cause for the military conflict that has broken out on the territory of the Hindustan Peninsula is a certain series of action of the Government of Pakistan which are directed at the suppression of the lawful demands and aspirations of the East Pakistan population. The military conflict in that region is the direct consequence of a series of acts of oppression, mass repression and violence conducted over a number of months with the use of the most modern forms of weapons and arm with a view to suppressing the clearly expressed Will of 75 million East Pakistan. The People of East Pakistan was obliged to respond to this and rebuff it by means of armed resistance. Being unable by political means to settle the very acute political crisis in East Pakistan, or to repress by means of violence against the people of that part of the country the political movement that had been set afoot, the Government of Pakistan undertook military action against a neighboring country, and that has led to the emergence of a military conflict and the exacerbation of the situation. The purpose of that action is entirely clear to all. It consists of placing responsibility for the action of the Pakistan military authorities upon a neighboring country, and attempting to justify the measures of terror and oppression undertaken there, which have acquired such gigantic proportions that they have resulted in the death of thousands upon thousands of peaceful citizens and the flight of virtually 10 million persons to the territory of a neighboring country.
