United Nations Security Council Resolution 295
- United Nations Security Council Resolution 295
United Nations Security Council Resolution 295, adopted on August 3, 1971, after receiving a letter from the Permanent Representative of Guinea the Council affirmed its territorial integrity and independence and decided to send a mission of three members of the Council to Guinea to consult with the authorities and report of the Situation immediately. The mission was to be appointed after consultation between the president of the Council and the Secretary-General.
The request for this resolution from the Government of Guinea came after a series of cross border incursions by the Portuguese led colonial government of Guinea-Bissau in early 1971. This in turn came a year after the invasion of Guinea's capital, Conakry (Operation Green Sea) 22 November 1970 by Portuguese led forces. These attacks were repulsed, but border tensions continued until Guinea-Bissau's independence on September 10, 1974.
