The Secretary of State to the Department of State
priority
Delga 17. Verbatim text. Re admission of new members.
Belaunde (Peru) gave us following tentative draft this morning:
“The GA
Having examined the report of the special committee on the admission of new members;
Considering
That the aims of the charter of the UN would be furthered through the cooperation of all peace-loving states;
That recommendations of the GA on the admission of new members have not prospered;
Believing
That the exercise of this new attempt should be without prejudice to the juridical positions maintained by members of the UN and to any recommendations which the GA may eventually adopt;
Decides
To establish a good offices board to be appointed by the President of the GA composed of three members not represented on the SC, empowered to consult with other member states, as well as with states which are candidated for membership in the UN, with the object of exploring the possibilities of reaching a general understanding which would facilitate the admission of new members. The good offices board shall report to the GA as appropriate.”
