In shamelessly taking sides on an extremely sensitive issue, in arrogating the right to criticize openly, and without restraint, the positions of a Member State which were not addressed to it, in making countless intrusions into an area which is strictly within the competence of Member States and particularly the Security Council, and in making one blunder and one mistake after another, the Secretariat in short, has discredited itself, thereby demonstrating that it is not acting within the clearly understood interests of all the Member States, or in strict conformity with the spirit and letter of the Charter of the United Nations.
