The United Nations Security Council responded to threats that New Famagusta would be settled by outsiders by passing resolution 550. That resolution forbids the settlement of the city by people other than its original inhabitants. and calls for the transfer of the area to the administration of the United Nations. The U.N.s call for resettlement has. however. been ignored. My amendment calls upon our Government to begin a new initiative at the United Nations to promote the resettlement of that city. The successful return of refugees to New Famagusta would be a small. but an important first step along the road to peace in Cyprus. I urge you to support my amendment.
