Editorial Note

The report of the Commission of Investigation was signed at Geneva on May 23, 1947, and was mimeographed by the Security Council as document S/360 four days later. The conclusions and proposals (pages 167 and 248) paralleled those contained in telegrams 299, May 12, and 373, May 20, from Geneva. The sentence “On the basis of facts ascertained by the Commission, it is its conclusions [sic] that Yugoslavia, and to a lesser extent, Albania, and Bulgaria, have supported the guerrilla warfare in Greece” appears in the report on page 167. The conclusions were subscribed to by the Delegations of Australia, Belgium, [Page 865] Brazil, China, Colombia, Syria, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Delegations of the Soviet Union and Poland did not approve the conclusions and the French Delegation abstained. The United Nations has published the Commission’s report in Official Records of the Security Council, Second Year, Special Supplement No. 2.

For a summary statement of the work of the Commission and the texts of its conclusions and proposals, see Department of State Bulletin, July 6, 1947, pages 14–24.
