N~te ~I tr.e Secretariat Regarding Chapter III
Tho first pu~agrnph of the text of Chaptc~ III as reported

by Tochnicr:.J. Cornmi ttee I/2 (se·e Drafting Puy~;;r l) pr.:;sents e.
problem which th~ Technical Committee does not appear to have
solved. The words, "Hembera of the Organization are the sig-
natories of the Cho.rter 11 , implies that c.ll Stutes which may
become membe1•s (tho so wi1o nrc the o~igino.l members as well as
those subsequently a.dcittod) will sign the Charter. It would
seem doubtful if this will in fact be the case.
The original members will be those who sign and ratify the
Charter, but subsequent members, admitted by the General Assemb-
ly on the recommendation of tt.e SJcurity Council, presumably
would not sign the actual 0hertor itself as that document by
then would ha.ve become p~~ of tho public o.rchiv~s or would be
on public exhibition.
In the case of tho CJvcn~~t of the League of Nations this
problem wo.s ove~come by ruqking o. distinction between the original
members and those subscquen~ly admitted, the former being named
in c.n. Annex. This met.hc d co.nnot be followed with the present
Charter for Tcchn!cal Cc-m..'ilittee I/2 is s:;.id to have taken the
view that it would be preferable that the distinction in the
United Nations b~tween original and other members should be
minimized a.c much as possible.
Nevertheless, it would seem that these two groups, because
of the different ways in which they become members, cannot be
defined within one p~r~graph of Chapter III, as tho Technical
Committee proposed, but should be defined in two separate
paragraphs as suggested in Drafting Pa.pcr 1. The suggestions
made in Drafting Paper 1 are now revlsed by the Secretariat, as
a result of further study a.nd consultation, ~s follows:
Chapter i l l
Mcmborshi.P
Article 1
The initial mor.1bers of th ~Jni ted Nations sh3.ll be the

signatories of th~ Charter whoso ro.tifico.tion has become effec-
tive in nccorde.nco with Chapt0r XVI, Article 6.(Note: This
number follows the "Suggezted Arrangement of the Charter").
(1839) 2580
15
Article 2
Membersh~p of the United Nations is open to all peace
loving sta~es which, L~ the judgment of the O~ganization,
are able and ready to accept and c&rry out the obligations
contained in the Charter.
Article 3
New members of the United Nations shall be admitted by
the General Assembly on the recommendation of the Security
Council. (For this paragraph see Drafting Paper 3.)
It is suggested that the Coordination Committee need

not discuss this problem in the first instance but might
refer it for initial study to the Advisory Committee of
Jurists.

Note py the Secretariat: The Coordination Co~~ttee
at some point will probabl:r wish to consider certain functions
and powers of the General Assembly in relation to similar
functions and powers of the Economic and Social Council. In
particular, Article 14 given in Drafting Paper 30 may be c~m
pared with Article 56 (especially paragraphs b and c thereof),
given above. Two points of difference between the treatment
of similar subjects in connection with the two bodies may
be mer.~ioned. First, in Article 56, paragraph b the Economic
and Social Council is authorized to make recommendations for
lromoti~ respect for, and observance of, human rights, while
n Artie e~4 the ue.Derar-Aasemb!y Is !D3tructed to assist
in the realization of human rights. The Secretariat feels
that:Poss!bly the words, in connection with the Economic
and Social Council may be preferable. Second, in Article 14
it is stated that the Generel Assembly shall initiate studies
in various fields and with various objectiveo all of which
are subordinate to "tho purpose of promoting internc.tiona.l
cooperation"; on tho other hand, in Article 56, c, the Economic
end Social Council is authorized to initiate studies with
roughly similar objectives, but without the limitation thct
these studies o.ra to be for "the purpose of promoting inter-
national cooperation".

D. Q· Chapter III. Membership
Note by the Secretariat: At its Third M~eting on

Monday, May 21, the Coordination Committee irlstructed its
Secretary to refer back to Committee I/2, the paragraphs
of Dumbartcn Oaks on Membership which had been adopted by
Committ.ee I/1 on May 14 (see Drafting Paper 1). The
Secretary of the Coordination Committee has nov been
informed by the Secretary of Committee I/2 that on
May 25 Committee I/2 unanimously voted to accept the
revised paragraphs which had been suggested to the
Coordination Committee by its SecrP.tary in Drafting
Paper 9 (shown therein as Articles 1 and 2).
The word "initial" which appeared in Drafting
Paper 9 has been changed by the Secretary in Article 3
below, after further consideration and consultation, to
"original". .It is suggested that the Coordination Com-
mittee indicate which wo2•d it prefers.
The Chapter on Membership, numbered according to
the arrangement given in C0/13, is reproduced in full
below. Articles 5 and 6 are transferred from Dumbarton
Oaks Chapter v, Section B.

Note by the Secretariat: The following revision ~.s

submitted by tha Secretariat, of Chapter III on the orsuns
of the United N.ations, as a result of the im:tructior.s
givep to it by the Coordination Conwittee at its meeting
on May 24.
The Secretariat was asked to consider the relation-
ship between Article 7 in Drafting Paper 13 which' lists
the principal organs of the United Nations, and Articlo 1
in Drafting Paper 17 establishing the International Court
of Justice. As a result of its study and consultation the
Secretariat no~ recommends that tile Article establishing
the Court be dropped and that Article 7 be revised so
that, instead of simply listing the principal organs, it
establishes them.
In Article 9 below is given the wording favored by
the Coordination Committe~ at its May 24 meeting. The
Secretariat was asked to ascertain if Committee I/2 would
accept that wording as the equivalent of its thought in
the place of the wording which it had approved (given in
Drafting Paper 13, Article 9). The Secretariat is informed
that the Committee attached considerable importance to.the
exact language which it' had adopted. It is hoped that o.
representative or the Committee can be-present at the
Coordination Committee's meeting to explain the c~mmittee's
position.
Chapter III

'C'ommi ttee to the fact that another COIU.li ttee hes established

These criteria are so ga1iar::.l in character thut Committee. II/l
suggests that it may ba neccss~rJ in the final draft of this

Note by the Secretariat: The Coordination Cdmmittee at

some point will probably wish to consider certain tunctiona
and powers of the General Assembly in relation to ~tmilar
functions and powers of the Economic and Social Council. In
particular, Article 14 given above may be compared with
Article 56 (especially paragraphs b and c thereof), given
in_ Drafting Pnper 26. Two points of difference between the
treatment of similar suhjects in connection with the two
bodies may be mentioned. First, in Article 56, paragraph b~

able. Second, in Article 14 it is stated that the General

various objectives all of which are subordinate to "the

other hand, in Article 56, c, the Economic and Social Council

Note by the Secretariat: In the revision of

Article 40 the Secretariat hn~ endeavored to .:-,~e it cle;:.r
that the phrase in the Comr.ti t tee's text "to be tc.ken ·to
maintain or restore pence and security" c.ppli~s to the
recoinmendations ns well ns to the r.wo.sures. The Secrct~ic.t
believes that this was the Connittee's intention, but in
the Coomittee 1 s text the ~e.tter does not seem clear. It
is still not clear whether the recor.u:tendo.tions may be :ma.de
only to the po.rties to the dispute, or whether they may be
mo.de to others also. This is a. point which the Coordination
Comnittee may wish to consider.
Second note by the Secretariat: As a result of its
consideration of other p{'ro.gro.phs in the sf.lrle section,
Committee III/3 decided on Hay 26 tho.t Chcptcr VIII, Section
B, paragraph 1, of Dumbarton Oaks should be omitted in its
entirety. This parar,ro.ph had previously been adopted by
Committee III/3 and was reported to the Coordination Com-
mittee in Drafting Papers 7 and 18. Those Drafting Papers
accordingly are now cancelled and are superseded by the
present paper. The original paragraph 2 of Section B,

With re~ard to the "arrange:-aents" referred to above,

Committee II/3 reco~ended as follows:
All eighteen ~mbers initially elected to the Economic
and Socinl Council should be elected on the sane bo.sis~
It would then be determined by drawing lots which six
members should retire after one year ~d which six after
two years • .The Subcor.nnittce considers thc..t this nethcd
would be preferc.ble to any method whereby nel:tbcrs were
elected either for one yeo.r or two .yenr tcrr.1s or o:ny
method whereby retirements would be determined c.ccord-
ing to the number of votes recc.1 ved by the ·-:::ub~rs.
Under both these latter methods 1t would be very likely
that the important countries which should rcm:in on the
Council would all retire nnd come up for reelection at

As a similar problon occurs in connection with several

thnt the Coordlncti0n Co:::-rai ttoe mo.~T wish to select sorJe

ni tteo in thi:..; ;.;,:. . :i<., the relevant article of the proposed
Statuto of the International Court of Justice ney be quoted:
"Article 13
" ( 1) The nerabers of the Court sho.ll be elected

ovor1 that of the judges elected at tho first alection,
the terns of five judges shall expire at the end of

The Secretariat has prepared for the consideration of the
Coordination COJJr.littoe the following redraft of the text
adopted by Committee II/3. In this redraft ·paragraph 2 deals
with the election of the menbers of the Economic and Social
Council. The fornula. used in tho case of the Com•t has been
adopted by the Secretariat with certain additional phrases
which, it is hoped, may no.ke its provisions· clear as applied
to the Economic and Social Council:
(The numbering below follows the arrongene~t in C0/13)

Note ] I the Secretariat: The revision submitted by

the final text adopted by Committee II/3 on May 25. on
June 7 Committee II/3•s text wes revised by Committee II/2
{see footnote to C0/49). The Secretar~.at suggests two
small modifications. The first concerns the location
ot the word "sex", which the Secretariat sufgeets be
placed second in the list instead of after religion".
The tocond consists in the insertion of commas after
the word "recommendations" in the second line end after
the word "religion" in the third from lest line, It is
felt that the insertion of these two commas makes it more
cler.r that the studies and recommendations are (a) "for
the purpose of promoting" etc., end (b) "also for the
encouragement" etc,

"nations" in the sixth line of C0/69 (1) should be replaced
by tho word "states"; end second, whc.t alternative wording
might be adopted tc express more clearly and grammatically
the thought contcinod in tho last two lines of the Article.
At the June 5th meeting of the Coordination Committee, it
had been suggested that these two lines should be revised
t~ rc~d "resulting from u violation or tho previsions of
the Chc.rtor concerning its Purposes end Principles", or
altcrna.tively, "resulting frurn o. violnticn of tho pr;;visions

Article 49
The action required to carry out the decisions of the

Security Council for the maintenance of international peace
and security shall be taken by all the members of the Organi-
zation in cooperation or by some of them, as the Security
Council may determine. This undertaking shall be carried out
by the members of the Organization both by their own action
and through action of the appropriate specialized organiza-
tions and agencies of which they are members.
Note by the Secretariat: The second sentence in this

Article implies that action is to be taken by tho specialized
organizations and agencies. It may be questioned whether it
is appropriate to include in the Charter a statement of this
nature applying to bodies which are not under or a part of
the Organization but which are simply brought into relation-
ship with it.

SUGGESTED BY THE SECRETARIAT AFTER THE RECEIPT OF
SUGGESTIONS BY MR. ROBERTSON (CANADA)
Article 49
The moasures required to carry out the decisions of

the Security Council for the maintenance of international
peace and security shall be taken by all members of the
United Nations or by some of them, as the Security Council
may det$rmine. All members undertake to cooperate in
carrying out these decisions by their own action and by
joint action. As members of specialized agencies, they
undertake to use their best efforts to ensure that these
agencies cooperate with the Security Council to the
fullest extent possible in implementing its decisions.
Notes by the Secretariat:

1. Does the phrase "some of them" include as fev
as one? A member of the Technical Committee consulte~
believes this question is one of substanc.e vhich cannot
be referred to the full Committee.
2. Does the final phrase refer to obligations of
oembers of organizations and agencies? What organizations
and agencies are envisioned? l>iembers of the Technica~
Committee consulted believe these questions are ones of
substance which must be referred to the full Committee.
3. The suggestion was made at the Fourteenth Meeting
of the Coordination Committee that this Article might core
logically follow Articles 50 ~~d 51.

CHAPTER IX
REVISION SUGGESTED BY THE SECRETARIAT
At the close of its Eig~teenth Meeting, held

at 3:30 p.m. June 13, 1945, the Coordination Cor.J.-
mittee instructed its Secretary to prepare for the
following day a revision of Chapter IX with a view
primarily to bringing the general form and structure
of this Chapter and its component articles more into
harmony vi th the other parts of the C!":.arter. The
Secretary submits tho following text for the consider-
ation of the Committee. It does not pretend to be
the answer to the protlems involved, but it may sug-
gest the lines along which solutions of the main dif-
ficulties rr.ie;i-.t be sought. Tee principle features of
the suggestions are, (a) th& division of present
Chapt8r IX into two ctnpters, and (b), the divisicn
of the second of these two chapters, the one which
deals specifically with the Economic and Social Coun-
cil, into tte sa.rne four sections into which the c!lap-
ters on tr.e 'Jcneral Assembly and the Security Council
have been divided,

At its meeting on June 23, 1945 the Steering Com-

mittee, in giving its unanimous approval to the text
of the Charter of the United Nations as referred to
it by the Coordination Committee and the Advisory Com-
mittee of Jurists, authorized and instructed. the Coordina-
tion Committee to make suoh ch~"lges 1n language e.nd
grammar as might be necessary to put the document into
proper and final form. The changes which have been made
by the Coordination Committee, 011 the basis of this
authorization, fall under three heads.
1. A few changes have been made 1n order to
correct small typing and other errors fotmd in the
mimeog~aphed text to which the Steering Committee
gave its approval (Document C0/181). Among these
changes were included the correcting of a few of
the references which were wrongly given in the
mimeographed text.
2. A certain nllmber of changes of a typo-
graphical nature were made for the purpose of
improving the appearance of the doctunent, and
certain other minor changes wore made to improve
the grammar. It is felt by the Coordination
Committee that there is no need to report in
detail the changes to which allusion is made 1n
this paragraph and in the precedL,g paragraph.

individually:
(a) Preamble. Following the inst~uct1cos

SUOOES'l'ED PROCEDURE FOR APPROVING FINAL TEXTS OF CHARTER

IN ALL FIVE OPFICIAL LANGUAGES
(lloto Su'tmi tted by the Secretariat)
Since the Conference has adopted five official languages
and since the Charter will be prepared and signed in all
five languages, it is necessary to establish a procedure to
assure accuracy and uniformity ot the texts in all languages.
The following procedure is submitted for consideration:
I. Advisory Committee ~ L&nguages
1. There should be established, under the
Executive Committee, an Advisory Committee
on Languages, which would carry out its
duties under the direction of the Coordina-
tion Committee.
2. The function of the Advisory Committee
on Languages should be to review approved
texts from the point of view of language
only, in order to assure e~curacy and
uniformity in all languages.
3· Since the text of the Charter ls be-
ing drafted in English and French as work-
ing languages, the main task of the· Ad-
visory Committee on Languages would be to
assure the accuracy of the Chinese, Rus-
sian and Spanish texts. For this ~uryose
a panel should be formed for each or these
three languages. The smaller the :panel,
the more expeditiously it is likely to ac-
complish its task. It is therefore aug-
seated that the panels bo ~ \JIApO&ed as
tollova:
39~
651
Russian ~e Panel
(All memtieriOYfiig Russian)
1 Russian-speaking member, to be agreed upon
by the Russ1an-apeak1ns delesations
1 French-speaking member, to be screed upon
by the French-speaking delegations
1 English-speaking member, to be agreed upon
by the English-speaking delegations
1 Spanish-speaking msmber, to be agreed upon
by the Spanish-speaking delegations
1 Cninese-speaking member
Chinese ~~e Panel
(All member~~ng chinese)
1 Chinese-speaking member
1 French-· speaking member, to be agreed upon
by the French-speaking delegations
1 English-speaking member, to be agreed upon
by the English-~peuking delegatlons
by the Russic.n-spe;a.king dole:go.tions
1 Spanish-speaking member, to be agreed upon
by thv Spanish-sp~aking delegations
StJaninh Langu~o Pan0l
(All members kno~ng Spanish)
1 S~anish-spc~ing member, to be agreed ~pon
by tho Spanish-speaking delegations
1 French-speaking memb~r, to be agreed upon
by tho French-speaking delegations
1 English-speaking momb~r, to be agreed upon
by the English-speaking delegations
by tho Russian-speaking delegations
1 Chinese-speaking member
Any delegation, or any group of delegations
speaking the same language, would be free,
if it so desires, to waive its right to desig-
nate c member to any panel.
II. Procedure of Review ~ Approval
1. When Charter provisions have been approved
1n English and French texts by tho Coordination
Committee and the Advisory Committee ot Jurists,
the three panels ot the Advisory Committee on
Languages should then review the Secretariat
3964
652
tranalationa ot the texts 1n the three respective
languases. The Advisorw Committee on tansucges
should consult the Adviao%"7 COJBittee ot Jurists
as occasion requires. An7 proposed cho.naea 1n
the English end Fre~ch texts should be submitted
to the Coordination Committee tor approval. Tho
texts oa reviewed should be distributed to ell
delegat1ol".s o.a ro.pidl7 a.s possible.
2. When the Commissions ho.ve o.pproved Ch(,t,J.· i.~l'
provisions 1n the two wor~ing languages of the
Conference, an7 changes made should be incor-
porated 1n the Chinese, Russian and Spanish
texts o.nd be epproved by the competent panels of
the Advisory Committee on Langucges.
3. The texts 1n o.ll five l~uo.ges would be
submitted to the Steering Committee p1•ior to
submission to the Plenary Session.
4. After revi~w by tho st~ering Committee
the printed texts in ell five lungucgcs
should be submitted for fincl review by tho
Advisory Committee on Lnngucges, with all
panels muoting together. At this mevting
the texts should bo rec..d in En.glish ::.nd e.~·.ch
language group would check the &ccur~cy of
its ~~xt. After o. lc..st correction of the
proofs by mombers of the Advisory Co::T.litt~:c::
on Lnngu:1gcs the final texts in c.ll lcnguc.gcJ
will be approved by the Adv~sory Co&~itt~c
on Langu.:.::.gus for submission t0 the FJ.oncry
Session tor signcture.
Under the o.bove procedur-v c.ll dclc:go.tions would hc.vc
M opportunity to review and o.pprovc tl.c texts in c.ll
languo.ges. They would be cble to roly on the Advisory
Comrlitteo on L.l.Ilguo.ges ''o assure thct th0 docw:1ents cs

-
USE-OF-THE
- WORDS "STATE" ' "NATION" , AND
_ "PEOPLES"
':'he word 11 state" is used throughout the Technical Committee
texts as in tte Dumbarton Oaks Pro~osals to indicate a definite
poli :ical enti t~. The wo.rd ''state occurs :in all paragraphs
dea~~ng with ~he functions of the Organization, in both security
and r.Jn-secur~ty fields. The word "state" is also used when a
dis:~n~tion ~~being made botwe~n a. member and non-member, viz.,
11
Ar.y state, ·. ·::ether a r.:embel' of the Organization or not ... ". It
is l:eHoved :::at this usage is entirely prJper, even though cer-
tair. ~embers ~~ the J~banization are tech~ically not yet states.
Tter1 ~ppears :o be no other word which c:~ld be used for this
purr:J3e.
':'he wore. "nation" is used only seven times in the Technical
Co::-_-:::. ttee tcx:s, for tl:e most pa1•t in a broe.d and non-political
sense, viz., ":'riendl-.- rcla. tions r.mong ne. :ions". In this
nor.-politicu~ usage, t'nation" would seom proferable to "state"
sin:::e the word "nation" is broad and goner'.'..l enough to include
col:nies, mar.dctes, pr~tectoratos, and qu~si-statos as well as
sta:os. It t.lso has a poetical flnvor that is lo.cking in the
word "state".
It, therefore, seems desirable to retain "nation" in the
Pre~~blo, in Article 1, paragraph 2, and in the old Article 58
de~ling with tho general purposes of the Economic and Social
Council. Where "nntion" was incorrectly used in old Article
6ox, the Secrotnriat properly changed the word to "stnte".
In Article 15 the Technical Committee text referred to "the
peaceful adjustment of any situations, regardless of origin,
which it dee~s likely to impair the ganernl welfare of friendly
relations 8.1!long nations .•• ". The Advisory Committee of Jurists
changed "nations" to "states". In this case the word "'nations"
would seem preferable in order to emphasize the idea of friendl7
relations among all types of political entities.
No difficulty appears to arise from the use of the vord
"peoples" which is included 1n the Technical CoDIIIlittee texts
657
lfbezle'fel' the 14ea Of 1 &U M.DJd.Dd" Ol' "all human beings" is to
be em)Jbaa1H4. The wol'd "peoples" tbua occurs only in the
Preutble, 1D Art1o1e 1, ·pe.rapaph 2, and 1n the old Article 58,
out11l'd.D8 tbe purpose• ot the Economic and Social Council. In
both Artlc1ea 2 aD4 58, the vord :.peoples" ia used in connection
Y1th the phrase "selt-detel'ld.Dation ot peoples". This phrase is
1n such c01111110n uaaae tbat no other vol'd seems appropriate.
!he question vas raised 1n the Coordination Committee as to
whether the juxto.pos1t1on ot 1 triendly relations among nations"
and "3elt-determ1nation ot peoples" is proper. There appears to
be no difficulty in this juxtaposition since "nations" is used
in the sense ot all political entities, states and non-states,
vhervaii "peoples" reters to groups of human beings who may, or
may not, comprise states or nations.

The problem ot translating the verbs "should", "should
be empowered to", and "should have the right to" in the
Dumbarton Oaks Proposals into proper Charter language
raises a number ot difficulties. The attached list indicates
how this problem bas bean solved with regard to "should be
empowered to" and "should have the right to" in the text
before the Coordination Committee.
SHOULD
The verb "should" in the Dwnbarton Oaks Proposals has

been translated into "shall" in all the texts which the
Technical Committees have submitted to the Coord1nat:1.on
Committee. Since both 'lferbs imply a defin1 to obligation
upon the person or organ concerr.vd, tlas procedure seems
to have raised no special difficulty.
The verb "should be empowered to" is normally used in

the Dumbarton Oaks Proposals to suggest a power that ought
ultimately, in the opinion of the drafters, to be g.1von to a
specific organ. This verb has been translo.ted o.s "may" in
most of the texts submitted by the Technical Committees
to the Coordination Committee in order to indicu.te that
the subject has the power or authority to do something.
The ve1•b ''may" is defined by Webster as meaning inter alia,
liberty, opportunity, or permission; by Funk and Wcgna~
as "to have power or ability; bo competent; used 1n this
sense with the meaning can". The only exception to this
usage thus far discoverea-occurs in Article 62, C0/64 (3)
where the verb "should be empowered to" is translated
"is authorized to". The longer verb vas apparently used
instead of "may" in order that the initial sentence would
introduce a long series of functionaL each beginning with
an infinitive. In the new draft of Ghapter IX, however,
(C0/120) the old Article 62 is divided into seven new
articles (Articles 64 to 70). In Article 64, the original
verb "should be empowered to" is translated as "is em-
powered to"; in Article 68 as "is a".~thorized to"J and in
Article 69 as "may". This procedure would appear to be
correct since each of the three new verbs indicates that
the Economic and Seouri ty Council has power or author1 ty
to carry out a spec~1o function.
4988
665
In the newArt1cles 65, 66 67, a.nd 70, the verb "should
be empowered to" is translated "shall". This t!'a.nslation,
in my opinion, is incorrect for it implies a.n obligation on
the Economic a.nd Social Council to perform a specific function
rather tha.n a power which it may exercise, if it so wishes.
SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO
The verb "should have the right to" occurs only four
times in the Durubarton Oaks Proposals with s01:1ewhat different
connotations. In the case of Chapter VIII, B, Jl, which
-oays "any state ••• should have the right to consult the Security
Council in rega.rd to a solution of these problems" the original
phrasing should r.robnbly be retained with the exception of
changing "should' to "shall". This procedure would ;:1ake per-
fectly clear that a state has a very definite r.ight to c01.sult
In the other three ceses - V, B, 2; V, B~ 1, a~d X~ 3, the
Dumbarton Oaks Proposals used "should have th0 rig~t to' ir.
the same sens~ ns 'should be empowered ;:;o". The T~c!-.~..'1ical
Committee texts, t~1erefore, have correctly tra.!l.slated this
verb as "may".
