The UN War in Katanga

With the permission of the American Committee for Aid to Katanga Freedom Fighters, we publish the following excerpts from the report on UN policy and operations in Katanga, prepared for the Committee by Dr. Ernest van den Haag. On behalf of the Committee, Dr. van den Haag visited the Congo at the beginning of this year, in the aftermath of the December fighting. The complete report of the van den Haag mission contains, besides more extended treatment of the topics dealt with in these excerpts, data and analysis concerning the background of the Congo developments, the history of the UN’s Congo policies arid intervention, etc., together with affidavits, photographs and documents bearing on UN actions in Katanga. Copies of the full report, priced at $1.50, may be obtained from: American Committee for Aid to Katanga Freedom Fighters, 79 Madison Avenue, New York 16, N.Y.

Early in January 1962 I visited the Congo on behalf of the American Committee for Aid to Katanga Freedom Fighters, which had been formed in December 1961, when United Nations troops, supported by the United States, were conducting active military operations in Katanga Province.
