UN General Assembly
1947

Without attempting to achieve at one stroke the ultimate ideal which would be that of an organization guided entirely by justice and equity, for the good both of the Organization and of others, an endeavour should be made to act in accordance with some objective standard in order to improve the fabric of international relations as much as possible. For this reason the delegation of Ecuador supports the proposals which aim at reducing the scope of the veto. We consider it imperative that the veto should be excluded from Chapter VI of the Charter on pacific settlement of disputes, and that the requirement of the unanimity of the permanent members of the Council should be eliminated from the procedure for admitting new Members, as has been proposed by the delegations of the United States of America and Australia.
