Deadlock Looms Over U N Seat Battle in Security Council
Romania and the Philippines face a potential deadlock for the Eastern Europe seat on the United Nations Security Council. If no clear winner emerges, the two-year term may be split between them. Delegates expect a two-thirds vote for any candidate, with Philippines claiming up to 60 votes and Romania around 45. The London 1946 agreement split the seats, while the Soviet Union pushes a Communist bloc claim and the United States favors non Communist Eastern Europe sharing with the Far East.
