United States Delegation Journal
USDel (PC) (Journal) 35
The Commission agreed to invite the Rumanian Government to express its observations on Article 24, paragraph 4 (compensation) in general and then to answer concrete questions in connection with paragraph 4 which the members of the Commission would submit beforehand to the Chairman. The Commission approved Article 24, paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8 b, and 8 c. It agreed to defer consideration of paragraph 8 a (definition of United Nations national) until it had completed its consideration of paragraph 4. The Australian Delegation had proposed the deletion from paragraph 8 a of the words “provided that they also had this status at the date of the Armistice with Rumania”, in order to afford protection to ex-enemy nationals who had lived in United Nation territory during the war and who had been unable to complete their naturalization because of the war. After some discussion, the Australian Delegate requested that a final decision on the amendment be postponed until he had had an opportunity to obtain additional information from the Rumanian representatives during their appearance in connection with paragraph 4. This request was granted.
