This was issued to expand on and reinforce messages presented at the 13th Session of the UN General Assembly. In his Foreword, the Arab Information Centre's Research Chief Fathalla El Khatib, states that "With the winds of Arab nationalism blowing strong and hard, the Southern fringes of the Arabian Peninsula cannot be isolated from the Arab world. No amount of repression or terrorism will subdue the clamor for independence and freedom". He quotes from the Yemen Ambassador Kamel Abdul Rahim's address in the general debate that "brute force can never separate the southern Arabian Peninsula from the rest of the Arab homeland. If the present occupying power refused to see the clear handwriting on the wall and persists in the use of brutal repression, I solemnly warn this Assembly of a new Algeria in the Southern Arabian Peninsula". This contains 3 papers: "British Penetration and Imperialism in Yemen" by El Khatib and Babaa; "British Aggression against the Imamate of Oman" by El Khatib and Kabbani; and "Buraimi Dispute" by Halig. The maps, of Yemen and British-occupied Yemeni Territories, the Imamate of Oman and Sultanate of Muscat, and the Arabian Peninsula, show de facto and indefinite boundaries, boundaries (where known), and in Yemen the provisional line of the 1934 Treaty according to British Colonial Office maps.
