New Idea For Ending Disputes to be Considered by UN Panel
United Nations delegates examined a fresh plan to ease international disputes, proposing a nine nation permanent conciliation committee. Lebanon presented the measure, to be discussed February 23 when the Little Assembly reconvenes, with final approval by the General Assembly in Europe next fall. The plan would offer a preliminary forum for disputes but lack enforcement power, keeping issues out of the Security Council or full Assembly. Delegates voiced cautious, noncommittal reaction to the proposed body, which follows a prior Marshall proposal that led to a year round Little Assembly.
