4. 美利坚合众国正在滥用其东道国地位，特别是延误甚至拒绝发放签证，从而阻止代表们进入联合国总部。未向一个会员国的 18 名代表发放签证是不可接受的，史无前例的拒绝向一国外交部长发放签证的决定也是不可接受的。同样不可接受的是发放使代表们在纽约执行任务期间无法旅行的签证。
4. The United States of America was abusing its status as host country, in particular by delaying or even denying the issuance of visas, thereby preventing delegates from gaining access to United Nations Headquarters. The failure to issue visas to the 18 delegates of a Member State was unacceptable, as was the unprecedented decision to deny a visa to a foreign minister. Equally unacceptable was the issuance of visas that prevented delegates from travelling in the course of their mission in New York.
