296. No. 11 for Graham. Following resolution adopted by SC 1 Nov.:
“The Security Council,
“Having received and taken note of report of Consular Commission dated 14 Oct. 1947, indicating that Council’s resolution 1 Aug. 1947, relating to cessation of hostilities has not been fully effective;
“Having taken note that according to report no attempt was made by either side to come to agreement with other about means of giving effect to resolution;
“Calls upon parties concerned forthwith to consult with each other, either directly or through Committee of Good Offices as to means to be employed in order to give effect to cease-fire resolution, and, pending agreement, to cease any activities or incitement to activities which contravene that resolution, and to take appropriate measures for safeguarding life and property;
“Requests Committee of Good Offices to assist parties in reaching agreement on arrangement which will insure observance of cease-fire resolution;
[Page 1069]“Requests Consular Commission, together with its military assistants, to make its services available to Committee of Good Offices;
“Advises parties concerned, Committee of Good Offices, and Consular Commission that its resolution 1 Aug. should be interpreted as meaning that use of armed forces of either party by hostile action to extend its control over territory not occupied by it on 4 Aug. 1947, is inconsistent with Council resolution 1 Aug. 1947;
“Should it appear that some withdrawals of armed forces be necessary, invites parties to conclude between them as soon as possible agreements referred to in its resolution 25 Aug. 1947.”
