Extract

On March 30, 1960, the 851st meeting of the Security Council convened to consider a 29-nation request1 that the Council discuss the situation arising out of the largescale killing of unarmedand peaceful demonstrators against racial segregation in the Union of South Africa as a threatto the maintenance of international peace and security. The representative of the Union of South Africa, as well as those of India, Ethiopia, Ghana, Pakistan, Guinea, and Liberia were invited to participate without vote in the proceedings. After the adoption of the agenda, reservations regarding the jurisdiction of the Council with respect to the question before it were expressed by the representatives of the United Kingdom and France, who maintained that nothing in the Charter authorized the UN to intervene in matters essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of a state.
