OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR TO THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS |
ENCRYPTED MESSAGE |
TO: J.J. van Aartsen, Minister of Foreign Affairs of The Kingdom of The Netherlands ( Tim )
FROM: John Alders, United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of The Netherlands
Minister Van Aartsen,
I trust that this message meets you well. As I am sure that you are aware, the situation in South Africa is exceptionally worrisome. The Korean and United States governments have proposed an emergency resolution to the Global Assembly which will require Sweden to withdraw from South Africa and return its government to the South African people. Colonialism, especially on the eve of the 21st century, is entirely unconscionable. I am writing to you in hopes that the Dutch Ambassador to the Global Assembly will support our resolution. The Global Assembly, as the spiritual successor to the United Nations, was made to keep global peace. It is our stance that Sweden has overstepped and that this is the best course of action to take to have a diplomatic solution. Your people have been historically famous for their stoic dedication to diplomacy and rationality. I hope you share our perspective that we are trying to unite the world to stop a restart of colonialism and subjugation. The South African nation is, and ought to be, a free and independent state outside of official or unofficial political control from any other country. I hope that we can have your support in the upcoming vote.
Best Regards,
John Alders
United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of The Netherlands
