Security Council debates Congo crisis amid charges from Tshombe
The United Nations Security Council opened a heated session in New York to hear charges from both sides in the Congo dispute. Russia accused the United States and Belgium of aiding rebels while Adlai Stevenson defended the U.S. and questioned Moscow’s role. The council voted 7 to 4 to hear Tshombe’s charges and the 22 nations alleging Western intervention in the Congo. The session was closed to the public and may intensify after Tshombe’s Saturday arrival to present his case.
