United Nations Force in the Congo (ONUC)

Following the Security Council resolution of 14 July 1960 authorizing UN military assistance to the Republic of the Congo, some 11,500 soldiers from nine countries are now on duty helping to restore order and calm in the country. The Secretary-General sent his Personal Representative in the Congo, Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, to Elisabethville, capital of Katanga province, for talks in relation to Kananga.
