Mexico proposes UN bar Franco Spain from World League
Mexico submitted a proposal to permanently bar the Franco government of Spain from United Nations membership in the World League. Former ambassador Tatis Quintanilla planned to present the idea to a conference commission and seek a declaration that no government coming to power through military force in nations that fought the UN be admitted. The proposal comes as UN delegates push toward a world charter renewal with the final conference session set for next Saturday, though delays persist over scope of debate and potential Soviet compromises.
