- W6540644 abstract "As is well known, it was in 1945, towards the end of the War, that a Conference was held at San Francisco to evolve the Charter of the United Nations. Fortysix states attended that Conference and for over three years their delegates struggled at the drafting of the various Articles of the Charter. On 26 June 1945, we completed our work. That is why, 26 June is still observed ap the United Nations Day. Provisions with regard to the Security Council, specially charged with the responsibility for maintaining peace led to a good deal of contention. There has to be in the Council unanimity so far as five Great Powers were concerned. Each one of them has the right to veto any proposition. Some of us were not in favour of the veto at all. Dr. Evatt of Australia and some others, including me, opposed it. This was a dangerous power, we thought, which was being given to some members of the Council. It would even prevent action which four members of the Council along with non-permanent members might wish to take. We said that it would paralyse the working of the entire system. But all the five Great Powers were in favour of the veto. Mr. Adlai Stevenson, one of the United States delegates, a man of great character and ability, came to me after I had spoken opposing the veto and said quite frankly that if the veto provision was deleted, there would be no Charter for the United Nations at all. The United States Congress and Senate, he said, would never accept the Charter unless the veto provision was embodied in it. Of course the U.S.S.R. was in favour of the veto too. Thus, rather than have no Charter at all, we agreed to the Great Power veto. But we were confident that at least it would not come in the way of Council efforts to stop wars between small nations. However, after a great deal of difficulty we were able to obtain agreement on a provision for the revision of the Charter after a period of ten years. Of course there was nothing to prevent anyone from proposing an amendment of the Charter at any time. But we wanted positive action and therefore provided that the matter should be put on the agenda of the Tenth General Assembly. The opinions of the Big Powers at the end of ten years after the adoption of the Charter were no different from what they were before and there is no possibility of any amendment of the Charter." @default.
