- Joint communiqué by the prime ministers of Burma, Ceylon, India, Indonesia,
and Pakistan, Colombo, 1954. In Jansen, Afro- Asia and Non- Alignment, 414. - UN Resolution 194, adopted on December 11, 1948, was not as unequivocal
and categorical on the Palestinian refugees as commonly believed, inter-
preted, and presented. It declared that “the refugees wishing to return to
their homes and live at peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do
so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for
the property of those choosing not to return.” - Jansen, Afro- Asia and Non- Alignment, 164.
- Initially, Nehru was not favorable to the idea. Gopal, Jawaharlal Nehru, 2:232.

- They were Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.
- Also excluded were apartheid South Africa and the breakaway Taiwanese
republic, which was still a member of the United Nations as well as the Se-

served: “the Gold Coast was invited even though it was two years away from
in de pen dence, as was Ghana. As if to underline the inconsistency, both
North and South Vietnam were invited, but the two Koreas were not.” Bre-
cher, The New States of Asia, 133. - In addition to eight Arab countries, Af ghan i stan, Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey
attended the Bandung Conference. - Jansen, Afro- Asia and Non- Alignment, 174– 175.

- In his assessment, “For us to be told... that the United States and the
United Kingdom will not like the inclusion of China in the Afro- Asian con-
ference is not very helpful. In fact, it is somewhat irritating. There are many
things that the United States and the United Kingdom have done which we
do not like at all.” In Gopal, Jawaharlal Nehru, 2:233. - Brecher, The New States of Asia, 210– 211.
