66. Editorial Note
Following further inconclusive debate, the General Assembly decided not to vote on either the “Latin American” or the “Afro-Asian” resolutions concerning enlargement of the Security Council. Rather, on February 26, the Assembly agreed without objection that consideration of the three agenda items—enlargement of the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and the International Court of Justice—be postponed to the Twelfth Session.
At the Twelfth Session, it was decided, following statements by the Indian and Ecuadorean Representatives, that in view of the fact that enlargement of United Nations councils was intimately linked to the still-unresolved question of Charter review and amendment, the issue of council enlargement should be further postponed to the Thirteenth Session pending resolution of the Charter review problem.
Further information on the issue of the enlargement of United Nations councils is in Yearbook of the United Nations, 1956 (New York, United Nations Office of Public Information, 1957), page 149, and ibid., 1957, page 115.
