UN General Assembly
1955

105. My Government therefore sincerely hopes that these difficulties may be overcome which have so far prevented a considerable number of States from obtaining membership in the Organization. It certainly should be possible, as a result of the improvement in the international situation which now appears to have come about, to increase the membership of the United Nations. 106. I do not intend here to examine this question in detail. I wish, however, in this connexion to point out that very many in the General Assembly strongly favour that the question of China’s representation be settled in accordance with the factual situation in China. 107. In accordance with the Charter, the agenda includes the question of holding a general conference of the Member States for the purpose of reviewing the Charter.
