The General Assembly, Recalling its resolution 1949 (XVIII) of 11 December 1963 on the question of Aden, Having noted the petitioner's statement on the recent developments in that Territory,[1] Deeply concerned at the critical and explosive situation obtaining in Aden and the Aden Protectorate as a result of the state of emergency, and at the arrest and detention of nationalist leaders and trade-unionists as well as the deportation of others, a situation which constitutes a denial of fundamental rights and endangers peace and security in the region,

1. Urges the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take, as a matter of urgency, measures which would be most effective to secure:

(a) The immediate release of the nationalist leaders and trade-unionists;

(b) An end to all acts of deportation of residents of the Territory;

2. Requests the Secretary-General to bring the present resolution to the attention of the Government of the United Kingdom with a view to its implementation.
