Foreign Relations of the United States, 1946, Paris Peace Conference: Documents, Volume IV

Doc. No. 24 (G).

Memorandum on the Clauses of the Draft Peace Treaty Concerning the Liquidation of the International Institute of Agriculture (Art. 32, par. 2.)

undated

Article 32

Paragraph 2 of Article 32 provides that Italy shall accept any arrangements which have been or may be agreed for the liquidation of the International Institute of Agriculture in Rome.

The Italian Government has already signed the Rome Protocol of June 1946 concerning the dissolution and liquidation of the International Institute of Agriculture. Dissolution of the said Institute has been approved by the General Assembly of the Institute, which terminated its proceedings on July 9, 1946.

There would, therefore, seem to be no reason for the maintenance of the second paragraph of Article 32, which should be deleted.
