In the accompanying explanatory memorandum, the Secretary General stated:

“1 . The General Assembly considered the dispute between Indonesia and the Netherlands regarding the territory of West New Guinea (West Irian) at its ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth and sixteenth sessions. The Assembly has shown its concern over this dispute, but no solution has resulted from past efforts to resolve it.

“2 . In recent months, following appeals by the Acting Secretary-General, Indonesia and the Netherlands have been engaged in negotiations seeking to resolve their dispute. They have been assisted by Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker who, at the request of the Acting Secretary–General, has been acting as a mediator. Ambassador Bunker put forward certain proposals, on the basis of which an agreement has been reached. The Acting Secretary–General has been kept fully informed of the progress of negotiations and the results achieved. The final negotiations took place at United Nations Headquarters under his chairmanship.

“3 . The Agreement between the Eepublic of Indonesia and the Kingdom of the Netherlands concerning West New Guinea (West Irian) was signed at United Nations Headquarters, on 15 August 1962, by representatives of Indonesia and the Netherlands. It is subject to ratification prior to the consideration of the item relating to it by the General Assembly. It will come into force upon the date of the adoption by the General Assembly of a resolution taking note of the Agreement and authorizing the Secretary–General to carry out the tasks entrusted to him therein.”

On Sept. 20, 1962, the Secretary General informed the General Assembly that instruments of ratification of the above Agreement had been exchanged at United Nations Headquarters by the Eepublic of Indonesia and the Kingdom of The Netherlands.
