Small Nations Gain Power at World Security Conference
At the world security conference in San Francisco May 30, small nations gained leverage against the Big Five. The United States and four others accepted Canada’s proposal to involve countries supplying armed forces in security council decisions, with limits on outside participation. A general assembly committee voted 27 to 11 for broader discussion authority, signaling progress toward limiting veto power and expanding debate beyond peace and security matters. Agreement on trusteeship is near, though Russia seeks to protect existing mandates. Britain supports retention of the current arrangement.
