? The report which it is my
:duty to present to the As-

ected its attention to the sit-

vention of the armed forces

Persecution Discussed
Because of the breaking of
this promise,. Mr. President,
not only these 1,768 people
have been hurt, together with
all others persecuted whose
names have not been pub-
lished, The entire Hungarian
people are hurt when the
courts are used in this way
to make examples and thus
to frighten the people into
obedience.
i This list, of . course, does
not include any individuals
against who proceedings have
been taken, but not reported
in the newspapers. We have
no way of knowing accurately
how many of these there may
be, although some roeports in-
dicate the number is in the
tens of thousaniis. Nor does
it include the 1R90,000 Hun-
garians who fled to other
countries rather than risk the
vengeance of the Soviet pup-
pet regime.
' Judged by the standards
it set for itself, the Soviet
-puppet regime has grievously
wronged the Hungarian peo-
ple.
That regime, is of course,
an agent of Moscow's will.
-The wrongs it ha.s done flow
from the original wrong done

the former privileged clasSes,
of feudal circles, aristocrats
and nobility who had lost
their privileges and the
Horthyite Fascist elements
that had been driven from
power.
Taking account of the fact
that the insurrection had been
instigated by Western im-
perialist circles and that it
constituted a serious threat to
peace, the Hungarian Govern-
ment, as one of the signa-
tories of the Warsaw Pact,
asked the Government of the
.Soviet Union to place at its
disposal its troops stationed
in Hungary under that pact.
With the support of the
Soviet Union troops, the Hun-
garian armed forces liquida-
ted the counter-revolution
and restored legal order in
the country. The liquidation
of the Hungarian counter,
revolution is a domestic mat.
'ter within the jurisdiction of
.:2Iungary.
The Hungarian Government
rightly considers that the pro,
cedures of the Special COM-
mittee are unworthy of the
United Nations.
The Hungarian Government
considers it necessary:
? That the General Assemb15,
should condemn the report oi
the Special Committee as i6-
tervention in the domestic af\
fairs of` Hungary, as slander'
and as incitement to war, and
-that the General Assembl,,-
should condemn the imperial:
-1st forces which for ? year;
have been carrying out sub-
versive activities against 't/P
institutions of thp Tr17711YR
these events. Our unanimity
was hot in. any sense the re-
sult of compromise between
ourselves.
All Evidence Checked ?
An our witnesses partici-,
pated in the events which we
9 have described. We have been
5 able to check their evidence!
not only by cross-questioning
the individual witnesses, but
" by checking the evidence of,
one witness against another
in places geographically far
apart.
What, in outline, were the
facts which the committee
found? They were that the
Soviet Union intervened with
; force in the internal affairs of
Hungary to suppress a popu-
lar national uprising of the
people against a form of gov-
ernment which they detested:
that this uprising was not
in-
spired or assisted from out-
side Hungary: and that the
government installed by So-
viet armed might did not
have the support of the Hun-
garian. people.
There is no doubt what the
real wishes of the Hungari
people would be if they ha
the freedom to express them
They do not wish, to, return
to the past, to the days of the
big landlords. The tommitteeC'
found a noteworthy unanim-
ity among the witnesses onl
this point.
They want a free society,

Translation from the French
The Hungarian Government
respects the United Nations
and considers it regrettable
hat this organization should
be utilized to intervene in the
internal affairs of Hungary.
Confronted by the inac-
curacies and slanders con-
tained In the report of the
Special -Committee, the Hun,
garian Government considers
it necessary to state the fol-
lowing.
The armed insurrection
that occurred in Hungary be-
tween Oct. 23 and Nov. 4,
1956, was designed to over-
throw by violence the consti-
tutiorial and social order of
'the Hungarian Republic and
to restore the old Horthyite
Fascist regime which was di-
rected against the social,
progress of the Hungarian
people.
'The counter-revolutionary
rebellion had been prepared,
mulched and maintained by
