'----- the Castles of Cyprus in Lusignan andVenetian ,times with an appraisal of thefortified city of N ICaSIA.

I N my encyclopedia I l'ead,lIThe theoretical conside~

rations of the renaissance reMgarding the idea.l of a citywere inspired by the ItalianCity-State ancl took its pointof origin in the technique offortifications of the time. Acharacteristic example of apolygonal fortified city is :PalMma Nuove in the nOl'th-east ofItaly". I am not going to ar­gue. with an encyclopedia, butpersonally I feel that the for­tifications of Nfcosla are amuch better e"amble and cer­tainly more imp,ressive (jnstas the best preserved and mosttypical Roman ruins are notfound in Rome bIlt in Jordan),

Nicosla was originally for­tified by the Lusignans, butw~en the Venetians took overit was reallzed that it wouldbe impossible for the inhabi­tants to guard and defend thegreat length of stragglingwalls. Therefore, in 1565, theSeigniory of Venice despatchedAscanio Savorgano to report onthe fortifications. His reportwas not encouraging, "[ ant ofthe opinion that, even thoughit were in other respects sui­t-able, the Most Sel'ene Repu'b­7dc would be iU advised to for­tify it, and this jor manyreasons apm't "'om reasons ofState, as to which I am notcompetent to speak!'

However, two years laterthe present fo,rtifications wereb.egun from Savorgnano's de­lllgns, under the ,superintenden­ce of Francesco Barbaro andtheir form when completed wasvery much as we see themta-day. The original medIaevalwalls were pulled down and theold circumference reduced bythree miles. Everything outsidethe new circumvaJlation wasdestroyed so that a free fieldof fire would be left for the~rtillery mounted on the bast­Ions (- not on the walls bet.ween the bastions). In thisgeneral destruclion nothing Wasspared; churches and palacesalike perished irrespective oftheir interest Or beauty.

Nicosia was turned into anup 10 date fort but the workwas hardly finished before thestorm burst. In 1570 the siegeof Nicosia was begun byMustafa P-asha and after onlyseven weeks the city wastaken by assaUlt.

At the opening meeting, theSecretary-General, U Thant,recalled that in 1963 the Ge­neral Assembly had requestedhim to seek ways of providingrelief and assistance, throughappropriate international agen­cies, to families of those per­secuted by the South Africangovernment for oppOSition topolicies of apartheid.

In response to an appealmade by the Special U.N.Committee concerned" withapartheid, U' Thant reported,twelve member states hadcontributed about $300,000 tovoluntary organisations forthis purpose.

The Trust Fund Chairman,Mr Astom, spoke of the inter­nalional community's growingconcern over the plight ofprisoners and their families.The Committee hoped, he said,that generous contributionswould be forthcoming fromgovernments, organisationsand individuals.

In answer to questions bynewsmen about the procedurehe adopted in sending out theletter, the President said itwas his thinking that at leasteleven of the fifteen membersof the Council approved theletter. He said thE'. Soviet Unionand Bulgaria had declined toparticipate in the consultationshe had held, SQl it could beassumed they objected to theprocedure, and that one or twoother members had made re­serva.tions. Matsui said that Inthe face of two extremes ofview on whether the Councilshould or should not act onViet-Nam, he had felt a letter,such as the one he addressed tomembers, was the best middlecourse.

RHODESIA :.

VIET-NAM:

IN G letter to members of the Security Council over the week-end, Akiri Matsui of Japan, the Council President for Febr.uarr,

has said that seriaus differences of view on the question of Viet­Nam have "given rise to the general faeHng that it would be inop­portune for the Council to hold a further debate" on the problemat this time.

The President added, how­ever, that from the Council'sproceedings of the 1st and 2ndFebruary and from consul­tations which have been heldsince then, he "could detect acertain degree of common feel­ing among many members".

He summarized this as fol­lows: "1. There is a generalgrave concern and growing an­xiety over the continuation ofhostilities in Viet-Nam and astrong desire for the early ces­sation of hostilities and apeaceful solution of the Viet­Nam problem; 2. There appearsalso to be a feeling that thetermination of the conflict inViet-Nam should be soughtthrough negotiations in an ap­propriate form in order to worl{out the implementation of theGeneva Accords".
