Allies Offer New Disarmament Plan in UN Resolution
The Security Council, at Soviet insistence, issues a revised disarmament scheme. It demands that only nations with military power that risks the system consent to disarmament, replaces a vaguer clause. It requires future treaties to specify ratifying states and to be open to all states for signature, not only UN members. The commission is tasked to define how overall limits and restrictions on armed forces and armaments are calculated.
