West Proposes Expanded Disarmament Commission at UN
West moves to ask the UN General Assembly to enlarge the Disarmament Commission from 12 to 25 members despite Moscow’s rejection. Kuznetsov says enlargement would tilt 16–9 against Russia and calls for half the members to be Communist or neutralist. The plan aims to prevent a Soviet boycott of talks. Russia seeks broad inclusion or balance shifts.
