| Desiring to implement the right
Of their peoples TO be fully and

breach of the peace, or act of ag-
gression,
Considering the danger to the
maintenance OF friendly relations
between peoples and to the preser-
walton Of peace, arising from the
publication of inaccurate reports,
Considering that at its second
regular session the General As
sembly OF the United Nations recon-
mended the adoption of measures
designed to combat the dissemina-
ton of false or distorted reports
likely to injure friendly relations
between states,
Considering. however, that it is
not at present practicable to insti-
tute, on the international level, q
procedure for verifying the accuracy
Of a report which might lead to the
imposition of penalties for the pub
LEGATION of false or distorted reports,
Considering, moreover, that to
prevent the publication of reports
of this nature or to reduce their
pernicious effects, 1t is above all
necessary to promote wide circu-
lation of news and to heighten the
sense of responsibility Of those reg
ularly engaged in the dissemination
OF news.
Considering that an effective
means to these ends Is to give states
directly affected by report. which
they consider false or distorted and
which is disseminated by an in
formation agency, the possibility OF
securing commensurate publicity for
their corrections.
Considering that the legislation OF
certain states does not provide for
right OF correction OF which for
eign governments may avail them
selves, and that 1t is therefore de-
sirable to institute such right on
the international level, and
Having resolved to conclude q
convention for these purposes.
Have agreed as follows:
