It was reconvened to seek means of heading off a new African explosion in the Belgianadministered territory of Ruanda-Urundi But discussion of Ruanda-Urundi was postponed while Archbishop Makarios, on a visit to the United States, called for self-determination in Germany and throughout the world, advocated a complete end to colonialism, emphasised the global role of small countries and proclaimed allegiance to the United Nations a primary of his Government
