Announcing the Twenty-Four-Power draft resolution A/3487/Rev.1. The revised text includes the names of the five countries whose representatives would be members of the Special Committee. New Zealand and Iraq firmly believed that the Hungarian uprising was not organized by the U.S., by reactionaries, or by fascists, but was based on the urge for freedom and independence. The French representative criticizes the Soviet Union for its armed intervention against the sovereign state, and rejected the suggestion that it was merely an internal matter. Words of support for the Five-Member special committee were also expressed by Panama, Canada, Pakistan and Indonesia.
