Small Nations Lose Fight on Veto Control
In San Francisco a United Nations conference committee debated an Australian amendment seeking total veto control over security council actions. The proposal to remove veto power from peaceful dispute settlements was defeated 20 10 with 15 abstentions and 5 absences. Small nations urged a future right to amend the UN charter without big powers veto, while the big five oppose any such change. The committee prepared for further meetings to finalize veto voting rules as another conference to discuss regional defense plans proceeded. Weather notes and clerical data follow.
