I also share the general feeling of satisfaction that the parties are prepared to compromise and come to a mutual understanding, since that is the first step towards a successful settlement of the problem.
However, I also think that the commission to be created should be a Security Council commission not only in form but in fact. Therefore I should prefer that commission to be appointed by the Security Council itself from among its members. That would make it possible for the Security Council to exert a real, constant and effective influence on the work of the commission and would hasten and facilitate the settlement of this problem.
- this point I support the proposal of my colleague, the representative of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, that the commission be appointed from the members of the Security Council. If the majority do not agree with this, I too shall, for the reasons given, be compelled to abstain from voting on the resolution.
