UN General Assembly
1947

Mr. Tsaldaris’ regime brought its accusation against Greece’s northern neighbours before the Security Council in December 1946. I would draw your attention to this date. Although the Yugoslav Government drew the attention of the chief Allies, to the dangerous turn of events in Greece as long ago as July 1945, and although the Government of the USSR and also that of the Ukraine brought the matter before the Security Council during 1946, without any result, it was not until December 1946 that the Security Council decided to undertake an investigation in Greece as a result of the charges brought by Mr. Tsaldaris. In his speech to this Assembly, Mr. Marshall based his remarks on the report of the Commission of Investigation, or, rather, on the conclusion of die majority of that Commission.
