3. lappuse - one nation, one vote,' irrespective of size or strength, as constituting an obstacle to arriving at just and representative solutions, tends to exaggerate the problem. The General Assembly is not a parliament of elected Individual members ; it is a diplomatic meeting in which the delegates of member states represent governmental policies, and these policies are subject to all the influences that would prevail in international life in any case.
16. lappuse - The General Assembly shall elect six other Members of the United Nations to be non-permanent members of the Security Council, due regard being specially paid, in the first instance to the contribution of Members of the United Nations to the maintenance of international peace and security and to the other purposes of the Organization, and also to equitable geographical distribution.
4. lappuse - Russia and Geneva have equal rights." Article 2, paragraph 1, of the United Nations Charter declares that the United Nations is based on the principle of sovereign equality. The sovereign equality of states, however, has never meant the equal right to participate in the decision-making process of international organizations. The composition of the Security Council and other Councils, the veto provision, the amendment process—these and other provisions of the Charter all accord special privileges...
21. lappuse - Committee shall be to prepare proposals for procedures within the continuing machinery designed to establish a process of conciliation to take place before voting and to provide an adequate basis for the adoption of recommendations with regard to proposals of a specific nature for action substantially affecting the economic or financial interests of particular countries.
21. lappuse - UNCTAD machinery should contain procedures "designed to establish a process of conciliation to take place before voting and to provide an adequate basis fo.r the adoption of recommendations with regard to proposals of a specific nature for action substantially affecting economic or financial interests of particular countries.
22. lappuse - ... For the minority of developed countries, they provide some safeguard against the voting of unacceptable resolutions by automatic majorities, and a "cooling-off" period of 6 months or more during which efforts at compromise can be sought through quiet diplomacy. For the majority of less-developed countries, they afford a means of engaging the developed countries in a sustained debate during which the developed countries explain the reasons for their opposition to proposals of the majority. It...
10. lappuse - ... simulations for the exploration of possible futures are in their infancy. An example in miniature of such pioneering in an allcomputer format is found in the US Department of State's analysis by computer of the consequences of various voting arrangements within the United Nations. The simulation was applied to "178 key votes that took place in the General Assembly between 1954 and 1961," the weighting being based on population and contributions to the UN budget.
22. lappuse - ... adoption of recommendations with regard to proposals of a specific nature for action substantially affecting economic or financial interests of particular countries." The task of working out these procedures was left to a special committee appointed by the Secretary General of the United Nations. I had the privilege of serving as the US expert on this committee. The conciliation procedure which the committee devised will operate in the periodic Conference, in the Trade and Development Board,...
2. lappuse - It is obvious that, as the UN develops an increasing capacity to act, there will be increasing concern with the procedures by which this capacity is exercised. The manifest disproportion between voting power and real power is now a central preoccupation of persons concerned with the future of the world organization. Unless we can find ways to allay the anxieties felt on this subject in the United States and in other countries, it will be increasingly difficult to use the UN in the years ahead for...
23. lappuse - ... majority of small countries should accept any restraint on the use of their voting power. The answer is clear enough. If United Nations procedures cannot be adapted to take account of power realities, the large and middle powers will increasingly pursue their national interests outside the UN system. If, on the other hand, the necessary procedural adjustments can be carried out, the United Nations and its agencies will be able to assume increasing responsibilities for action in both peacekeeping...
