Their view is that based on the UN principle that every nation is entitled to exercise and enjoy its fundamental human rights freely without the intervention or interference of any other nation. People in Hungary were engaged in what appears to be a national uprising in the fall of 1956, whose aim was to achieve changes in their political system towards liberalization and democratization. However, the Indonesian delegation opposes the tone of the UN resolution which is very accusatory, it does not believe that the objective of helping the people of Hungary can be achieved this way and, as a result, is not able to formulate a definitive judgment on the question and consequently finds itself in no position to take a positive stand on the resolution.
