by veto of any of the permanent
members of the security council.
The texts of amended sections of
the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, re-
lating to regional agreements, plus
a new paragraph, as announced by
Mr.. Stettinius relate to the use of
peaceful means of settling disputes
as we'll as to the use of force in case
of actual attack. They follow:
THE parties to any dispute the
continuance of which is likely to en-
danger the maintenance of interna-
tional peace and security should OBJ
ligate themselves, first of all, to seek
solution by negotiation, mediation,
conciliation, arbitration or judicial
settlement, resort to regional agen-
cies or arrangements, or other peace
full means of their own choice. The
security council should call upon
the parties to settle their dispute by
such means.
Steps Must Be Reported.
Nothing in this charter impairs
the inherent right of individual or
collective self-defense if an armed
attack occurs against a member
state, until the security council has
taken the measures necessary to
maintain international peace and Sc
curity.
Measures taken in the exercise of
this right of self defense shall be
Immediately reported to the security
council and shall not in any way
affect the authority and RESPONSE
bility of the security council under
this charter to take at any time such
action as it may deem necessary in
order to maintain or restore inter-
national peace and security.
Nothing in the charter should
preclude the existence of regional
arrangements or agencies for deal
ing with such matters relating to
the maintenance of international
peace and security as are appro-
pirate for regional action, provided
such arrangements or agencies and
their activities are consistent with
the purposes and principles of the
organization.
THE member states comprising
such agencies or entering into such
arrangements should make every
effort to achieve peaceful settlement
of local disputes through such
agencies or arrangements before
referring them to the security
council. The security council should
encourage the development of peace
full settlement of local disputes
through such regional arrange
ments or by such regional agencies,
either on the initiative of the states
concerned or by reference from the
security council.
This paragraph in no way i'm
pairs the application of paragraphs
/ and of section A of this chapter. u
Amendments Satisfactory.
Paragraphs / and empower the
security council to investigate any
dispute or situation which is likely
to endanger peace and authorize any
member of the organization to bring
such a dispute to the attention of
the general assembly or the security
council.
The amendments are even more
satisfactory to members of the
United States delegation than the
original formula.
The core of the original formula
provided that nothing in this char
ter impairs the inherent right of
self-defense, either individual or
collective, In event the security
council does not maintain peace
and security and an armed attack
against member state occurs"
The rewriting makes the last part
of the vital sentence recognize the
right of self-defense until the Sc
curity council has taken the neces-
sary measures to maintain peace
and security"
