U.S. and Soviet back charter as is at UN
United Nations officers report that the United States and the Soviet Union agree the 30 year old UN charter should not be revised. Soviet deputy foreign minister Jacob Malik defended the charter including the veto, while U.S. negotiator Robert Rosenstock warned that revising the charter carries risks and is not timely. The positions contrast with many smaller nations and China, which favor revision and prompted the 1974 General Assembly to create a charter review committee. Only China among veto powers supports change.
