U. S. Takes Firm
Stand On U. N. Veto
Power Issue
LAKE SUCCESS, (fr) — The
United States announced its firm
stand today against any amend
ment of the United Nations char-,
ter to eliminate or modify the b g
power veto privileges in the se
curity council.
At the same time it called on the
other four major powers to re- j
strict the use of the veto volun
tarily to “the very rare and ex
ceptional cases.”
The American position was set
forth in a 9-point program by Sen.
Tom Connally (D.-Tex.), first rep
resentative of the big powers to
reply to the attack on the veto
which was launched in the general
asembly’s 51-member political and
security committee yesterday by
six small nations.
Connally warned bluntly that
“division between the great pow
ers over intervention or the use of
force might result in war instead
of peace” but declared that the
veto must not be used to “frus
] trate” the functioning of the coun
: cil.
He did not mention Russia by
name, but in what appeared to be
a reference to the frequent use of
the veto by the Soviet Union he
declared that the permanent mem
I bers of the council “have no right
i to cast a vote in any narrow or na
i tionalistic or selfish interest.”
I “Let there be no embezzlement
of power by the security council
or by any member,” he said.
Connally declared flatly that
“any amendment to the charter is
j impossible at this time,” but ex
' pressed the hope that agreement
among the five big powers “may
make it possible in the future to
modify” the use of the veto.
The American position, Con
nally said, is as fololws:
“1. We regard the principal of
unanimity as of the highest impor
tance for the success of the United
Nations.
“2. We believe that the respon
sibility imposed upon the great
powers by the charter requires
them to exert every effort to reach
agreement on important issues be
fore the security council.
“3. We reaffirm the position we
took at San Francisco that the
veto should be used only in the
very rare and exceptional cases.
“4. We insist that the use of the
veto cannot relieve any state from
its fundamental obligations under
the charter.
“5. We do not favor amendment
of the charter at this time, al
though we hope that full agree
ment including of course that of
the five permanent members may
make it possible in the future to
modify that practice of great
power unanimity as it applies to
the peaceful settlement of disputes ]
under Chapter VI.
“6. We believe that the voting i
formula should be clarified in the
light of experience and practical
need. The security council should
embark upon this task at the ear
liest practicable time.
“7. In particular, we believe!
that the security council should
agree upon as complete a list as1
possible of types of decisions
where the veto does not apply.
‘‘8. We believe that Article 27
makes it clear that in the field of
peaceful settlement no state should
be a judge in its own cause.
“9. The problem of great power
abstention should he carefully con
sidered, particularly with resoect
to the peaceful settlement of dis
putes.”
