(SUBMITTED UNDER RULE 38 OF THE PROVISIONAL RULES OF PROCEDURE)

The Security Council
Noting the request of Thailand;
Recalling General Assembly Resolution 377 (V) (Uniting for Peace),
Part A, Section B establishing a Peace Observation Commission which could
observe and report on the situation in any area where there exists international
tension, the continuance of which is likely to endanger the maintenance of
international peace and security;
Taking into consideration the legitimate apprehensions entertained by the
Government of Thailand in regard to its own security, caused by a condition of
international tension in the general region in which Thailand is located, the
continuance of which is likely to endanger international peace and security;
Requests the Peace Observation Commission to establish a Sub-Commission
composed of not less than three nor more than five Members, with authority:
(a) to despatch as soon as possible, in accordance with the invitation
of the Thai Government, such observers as it may deem necessary
to Thailand;
(b) to visit Thailand if it deems it necessary;
(c) to consider such data as may be submitted to it by its Members
or observers and to make such reports and recommendations as it
deems necessary to the Peace Observation Commission and to the
Security Council. If the Sub-Commission is of the opinion that
it cannot adequately accomplish its mission without observation
or visit also in States contiguous to Thailand, it shall report
to the Peace Observation Commission or to the Security Council
for the necessary instructions.
