UN General Assembly
1958

138. The Czechoslovak Government welcomes the proposal made by the Government of the German Democratic Republic on 4 September 1958 that the Governments of the USSR, the United States, the United Kingdom and France should setup a commission to begin consultations on the formulation of a peace treaty with Germany, in which representatives of both German States would participate in a manner to be agreed upon. This part of the German problem, that is, the formulation of a peace treaty with Germany, can be settled now, specifically by means of joint negotiations between the representatives of both German States and the representatives of the four great Powers. The Czechoslovak Government therefore also supports the proposal of the Government of the German Democratic Republic for the establishment of a commission consisting of representatives of both German States to study the problems relating to a peace treaty. That commission could also, if necessary be empowered to consider the possibility of establishing a peaceful, democratic and united Germany, a matter which is the exclusive concern of the two German States.
