Soviet oppose Dominican Republic peace force at UN
The Soviet Union warned that creating an inter American peace force in the Dominican Republic would challenge the United Nations and make peacekeeping a prerogative of the White House. Ambassador Fedorenko agreed to delay a vote on a resolution condemning U.S. intervention, which also calls for U.S. troop withdrawal. Cuba supported the Soviet stance, urging the council not to bypass the Security Council and to resist regional actions. Fedorenko said no enforcement action can occur without UN Security Council authority.
