How can we allow the United Kingdom to say that they will only agree to the Secretary-General’s going to the Malvinas and establishing an administra- tion with the help of civic legislative councils estab- lished by the United Kingdom? That is no true invita- tion, and it is not the kind of role that we should give to the Secretary-General. If there is going to be a United Nations transition administration, it has to be an administration to put an end to colonialism in this region. 231. 1 conclude by saying that the situation is serious and that the prestige of the Council is involved, espe- cially the prestige and responsibility of its permanent members.

The speech mentions colonialism, the prestige of the Council, and the responsibility of its permanent members, suggesting that the issue is a political and diplomatic one rather than related to economic development or other specific fields.
