337. For Herschel Johnson. There follows a res which you may wish to introduce at appropriate time in SC discussion of Greek complaint under Chap VII. Dept does not believe that inclusion of para relating to subsidiary group would mean that veto of res would imply SC decision terminating existence subsidiary group.
Dept shares your view that it is not essential res be introduced as part of your opening speech in new phase of case. There may be advantage in delaying introduction until discussion has had chance to develop.
“The SC having considered the report of the Commission of Investigation established by resolution of the Council of December 19, 1946, and having considered the information supplied by the Subsidiary Group of the Commission of Investigation and the oral and written statements made to the Council by Albania, Bulgaria, Greece and Yugoslavia.
Finds that Albania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia have continued to give assistance and support to the guerrillas fighting against the Greek Government subsequent to the period covered by the report of the Commission of Investigation.
Determines that such continued assistance and support to the guerrillas by Albania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia constitutes a threat to the peace within the meaning of Chapter VII of the Charter.
Calls upon Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia to cease and desist from rendering any further assistance or support in any form to the guerrillas fighting against the Greek Government.
Directs the Subsidiary Group to report to the Security Council on the compliance of Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia with this order.
Calls upon Albania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia to cooperate with Greece in the settlement of their disputes by peaceful means and to keep the Security Council informed of the progress of the settlement.
The Security Council remains seized of the question and will take such further action in connection with the enforcement of its order and the settlement of the dispute as may from time to time be necessary.”
