We also offer to take the lead of this first international helping mission.

While this is a wonderful offer, I propose that any Peacekeepers should not be from the major powers, not just the USSR, but also France, the United Kingdom, the United States and the other Great Powers.

OOC: This is how it works in Real Life, seems to be a smart idea.

The USSR made that offer in the awareness of it's international responsibility. Other mentioned nations like France, Great Britain or the United States of America are obviously not interested in a peaceful world, so we are going to take the lead of this operation.

We are also going to supply all nessacary military and humanitari material which is needed for this operation, besides the already promised material from other nations.

Sweden support the Yugoslav proposal and proposes that Ethiopia decides where to set up the camps and how many is needed. A field hospital should be set up on a central location to take care of the most urgent medical needs and to coordinate the medical assistance in the camps. Since Turkey was the first nation to offer such it is only fair that the field hospital should be Turkish.

The multinational peacekeeping force, to which Sweden contributes two infantry battalions and a flight of reconnaissance aircrafts, should be tasked with the protection of the refugees and monitoring the border area to guard against armed intrusions.

A group of military observers may be appointed from the multinational force above to investigate the reasons for this exodus.

All of this is financed by the pledges above.

Regarding the leadership of the operation we suggest that it might be best to leave this to a nation not invested in any way in this region. Sweden, USSR and Egypt are all disqualified for this reason, and Turkey, the Netherlands and Yugoslavia are therefore candidates.

Sweden is willing to work under the command of any of these three nations.

The USSR is not invested in any kind in this nation. We just offered development help in building up the infrastructure in Ethiopia. Neither more nor less.

The Swedish delegate should have said it more clearly:
it is best to leave the leadership of this operation to a state with no interests whatsoever in the region, be it corporate ventures or development aid or territorial or political ambitions in the area. This is to ensure that the mission and through it the United Nations can't be criticized for a lack of neutrality.

Therefore we propose Turkish, Dutch or Yugoslav leadship of this operation.

We are pretty surprised, that we hear these words, from a we thought friendly country. These allegation, the USSR is trying to use the misery of these people, for it`s international targets is an effrontery.

Our onliest intention is to help the people in this region. But, if our states have other intentions in this region, it is not the sovietian problem. We can also withdraw our help, and block a UN decission is this issue, if the leadership of this operation is not granted to the USSR.

We are able and willing to lead such a peacekeeping force. The Soviet resistance is not unexpected, but sad. They know about their economic engagement very well. Or don't you have any oil rights in Ethiopia, tovarishtsh Stalin? The Republic of Turkey has no such rights or interests and thus fit well. The Dutch have also rights there and are excluded, too. So only the yougoslavs remain. If the Yougoslavs could be seen as compromise candidate, we don't hesitate to step back.
Mr. Stalin also showed again that he doesn't care about the people but the politcal situation. He tries to block something good for other people only because of his political will.
If the UN are not able to act because of this, we suggest to ask the NATO for help. I am sure, that under these circumstances the other non NATO states here would accept a temporaly NATO command.
I thiink then a Yougoslav command under the UN would be a good compromise, isn't it, Mr. Dshugashvili?

The Swedish view is as written above based on the need for this operation to be perceived as neutral by all parts in the region; it is NOT an attack on any specific state and NOT throwing suspicions on the motives of any contributing nation. The fact that we also excluded ourselves should have made this clear.

Sweden is willing to work under Turkish or Yugoslav command, and we agree with Turkey that the neutral Yugoslavia might be the proper choice in this context.

Isn`t it a NATO doctrine, that the NATO forces wont be used outside of the NATO territory?

This definatly not a NATO problem.

If the Turkey thinks, it is their oppinon. We are caring of our people, not like the Turks!

We are not willing, to let our soldiers lead by a decadend Western Officer! Further their is no chance for an Yugo commander. Please remember, what happened one year ago. Yugoslavia betrayed the communistic world for it's own interests. We are warning the people in the World, that Yugoslavia, will do it once again in this issue!

That is the position of the Soviets, we have to tolerate. However, when they are not willing to help, they should stay aside and not stop any help for nothing to gain.

We ignore this speech of the imperialistic puppet regime of Bonn.

The people of the USSR made a generous offer, despite the destruction which was caused by the fascist invaders.

If we dont get the leadership of this operation, we are going to block an international operation.

If the United Nations are unable to come to a decision about this the Kingdom of Sweden will offer its assistance directly to the Ethiopian state in order to avoid prolonged suffering for the refugees.

In such a case we invite other nations to join us in multilateral cooperation to solve this humanitarian crisis.

This would make the United Nations completly useless. If it is the intention of the svedish goverment to do so, we have to accept this decission.

All we want is proper treat dealing with the Sovietian offer. We offer nearly the double of all the rest offered. Also we would offer an entire brigade for this operation. We would offer most of the required things, but would not get the leadership of this operation. This is an unacceptable situation. It's just the trying to exploit the people of the USSR.

The Kingdom of Sweden is a firm believer in international cooperation to alleviate human suffering all over the world. The United Nations as an organization has in our view great potential as a medium for this, but the veto system makes it a somewhat flawed and biased medium as shown in this matter.

We put the plight of the refugees first, therefore we will choose to sidestep the United Nations if it is rendered impotent in this manner.

The government of Germany supports the circumvention of the UN by a multilateral help for Ethiopia directly, if the Soviets veto a solution.
