Exactly 51 years ago, Prime Minister of the Soviet Union, Nikita Khrushchev, venting outrage at the Annual Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) in New York, United States. Twice Khrushchev pounded the table to show disapproval will the UN operation in Congo.
Page BBC television revealed that even Khrushchev demanded that the UN Secretary-General at the time, Dag Hammarskjold, was replaced by three executives who represent the West, Soviet, and non-aligned movement.
Khrushchev shouted criticism when British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, praised the integrity of Hammarskjold. Most participants welcomed the meeting of Macmillan's speech, but Khrushchev actually hit the table.
When MacMillan arrived at the meeting of four major world power in Paris after a spy plane the United States (U.S.) shot down over the Soviet Union, Khrushchev anger rose again. He shouted in Russian and pointing Macmillan. "Do not tell [the plane] U2, you support the aggression!" Khrushchev said.
Macmillan continued his speech and turned to disarmament and arms control issues. He claimed to understand Soviet fears that these activities can be used as a cover espionage.
This time Khrushchev stood up and shouted. "You accept the disarmament proposals and we will accept any control," he said aloud.
Previously, Khrushchev accused the UN of siding with the forces used to perform the occupation. Khrushchev was disappointed with the rejection of the UN to deploy armed forces to the newly independent Congo from Belgium and on the verge of civil war. Simply send UN peace-enforcement troops with orders not to intervene conflict.
