Editorial Note
After passing through the appropriate legislative stages the two resolutions were approved by the General Assembly on November 22, substantially in the form that appears here. In the discussion of the Ad Hoc Political Committee on the matter it was recognized that the proposal as regards the first resolution simply reorganized certain existing services already being performed by the Secretariat on a temporary basis, although countries of the Eastern bloc opposed the resolution as a device to establish an armed force in contravention of the United Nations Charter.
