REVISED DRAFT RESOLUTION SUBMITTED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE OF FRANCE
CONCERNING THE REGULATION AND REDUCTION OF ARMAMENTS AND ARMED FORCES
(Document S/1372)

The Security Council
Recalling that in Resolution 192 (III) of 19 November 1948, the General
Assembly (1) considered that the aim of the reduction of conventional armaments
could only be attained in an atmosphere of real and lasting improvement in
international relations, which implied in particular the application of control
of atomic energy involving the prohibition of the atomic weapon, but (1)
noted on the other hand that this renewal of confidence would be greatly
encouraged if States were placed in possession of precise and verified data as
to the level of their respective conventional armaments and armed forces,
And recalling that in the sixth paragraph of Resolution 192 (III) of
19 November 1948, the General Assembly trusted that the Commission for
Conventional Armaments, in carrying out its plan of work, would devote its
first attention to formulating principles for the receipt, checking and
publication, by an international organ of control within the framework of the
Security Council, of full information to be supplied by Member States with
regard to their effectives and their conventional armaments,
Aware that in the seventh paragraph of the same resolution, the General
Assembly invited the Security Council to report to the Assembly not later than
its next regular session on the effect given to the recommendation contained in
the said resolution,
Having received and examined the proposals contained in the working paper
adopted by the Commission for Conventional Armaments at its nineteenth meeting
on 1 August 1949 (S/1372),
Approves these proposals as constituting the necessary basis for the
implementation of the sixth paragraph of the above-mentioned resolution of the
General Assembly, and
Invites the Secretary-General to transmit the said proposals and the
records of the discussions of the Security Council to the General Assembly,
together with the records of meetings of the Working Committee of the
Commission for Conventional Armaments and of the Commission itself, devoted
to studying the General Assembly's Resolution of 19 November 1948.
