...challenge to the U.N.'s new role came from Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin who launched into a 75-minute attack on Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold and his conduct of the U.N.'s Congo forces.

Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold in return for his promise to help them in the next U.N. debate on the Algerian war. Unmoved, the majority of the African "summiteers" agreed to a resolution urging the Congo to halt further incidents of violence against the U.N. forces, and pointedly recalling that U.N. troops had come "at the express request" of the Congolese government.
