Voices include the Soviet delegate, the Indian delegation who along with Ireland lost troops in the invasion, the delegation from Bulgaria, the delegate from Syria and the delegate from Israel.

The tape ends with the delegation from USSR asking the delegate from Israel to explain why they have not withdrawn their forces despite a unanimous appeal for a ceasefire.
