Personal Memoranda, Folder 2, Part 5 · - SUMMARY REPORT OF TWENTIETH MEETING OF COMMITTEE 111/1 Veterans Building, BQQm 223, June ~, 1945, 10:40 ~. Page 2, item 2, paragraph 2-- The Delegate of the United States urged that the text be adopted as unanimously as possible. LParagraph 1, Section C, Chapter vI7 In this connection he gave the following explanation of the manner in which the veto would operate with respect to methods for pacific settlement: He stated that when a permanent member of the Council was a party to a dispute, its enforced abstention would mean that the other four permanent members and three of the non­ permanent members might reach a decision which involved a judgment concerning "the rightness or wrongness of a dispute". This decision could include recommendations as to the terms of settlement. He observed, therefore, [that "there is no exception from the judgment of the bar of the world". The Delegate pointed out that, when no permanent member Was a party to a dispute every means of pacific settlement was opeh. After these means had been exhausted the parties were obliged to present the case to the Council. The veto would not apply ijither to a discussion of the matter or to an invitation to other interested nations to participate in the discussion. He suggested that a solution might be forth­ coming from the discussions, without the necessity of a decision. He compared application of the veto to the requirement of unanimity among the jurors in a criminal trial. He argued that unanimity would help assure acceptance of the recommenda­ tions for peaceful settlement, since they would thus carry the united weight of the nations of the world. With respect to the exercise of the veto in decisions to apply sanctions, the Delegate of the United States observed that this meant that if a major power became the aggressor the Council had no power to prevent war. In such case the inherent right of self-defense applied, and the nations of the world must decide whether or hot they would go to war. In conclusion, he expressed the opinion that although the proposed Charter was not perf~ct and ~ld be difficult to operate, it was as good as, or better than, any other system that could be devised. .. -2- u.s. DELEGATION MINUTES QE TWENTIETH MEETING OF COMMISSION III, COMMITTEE 1-- (Page 1, paragraph 2) The Delegate of the United States (Commander Stassen) explained in some detail the deliberations of Committee III/2 on Section A of Chapter VIII and the relation of the veto thereto. He explained that where a permanent member is a party to a dispute that member cannot vote and that a decision under that section would be taken by the affirmative vote of all permanent members not involved in the dispute, plus a sufficient number of non-permanent members not involved in the dispute, plus a sufficient number of non-permanent' members to total 7. He referred to paragraph 4 of Section A wherein the Security Council may recommend terms of settlement to the permanent Council members should they be parties to a dispute. In such cases there would be no exemption from the bar of justice; the permanent members would not be above the law. He also pOinted out that in Chapter VIII A en­ couragement is given to all kinds of peaceful settlement outside of the Security Council. In addition any party has a right to call a matter to the attention of the Security . Council, thus permitting discussion to take place. This would be by a procedural vote. Moreover, an invitation to non­ members of the Security Council under paragraph 5 of VI, D to participate in discussion would be made by a procedural vote. Only when action is required would the unanimous vote ot all permanent members be required; that ls, in the taking of decisions for enforuement action.

  • Eleanor Roosevelt's Traveling Suitcase
    Eleanor Roosevelt’s Traveling Suitcase Unit VII - Eleanor Roosevelt and the UDHR Lesson 1: “Where Do Human Rights Begin? In Small Places Close to Home.” “Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home, so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person: the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site Unit VII, Lesson 1 Title of the lesson: “Where Do Human Rights Begin? In Small Places Close to Home.” Lesson grade levels: Subject area P-3 x 9-12 Social studies 4-6 Higher education x 7-8 Social justice issues: x Civil rights Housing Democracy x Human rights Education x Living wage x Environment/going green Immigration/migrant workers x Fair labor practices x Poverty x Health Other Time requirement: 120 minutes Objectives of the lesson: Students will know the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt and her work with social justice is- sues.

President. By STEWART ALSOP Reception committee at Caracas. Even Nixon's enemies admitted that he faced the mobs courageously. 11111 There is at least one point about that much disputed figure, Richard Milhous Nixon, which no sensible person can now dispute. De- spite a surface blandness which sometimes makes him seem quite ordinary, Vice Presi- dent Nixon is a most extraordinary man. Con- sider one measure of just how extraordinary he is. Since 1836, when Martin Van Buren in- herited the crown from crusty old Andrew Jackson, no Vice President has been nomi- nated as his party's Presidential candidate. Yet already, two years in advance, Vice President Nixon has the 1960 Republican Presidential nomination sewed up in a nearly puncture- proof bag.

  • The Good Old Campaigns an Engaging Look at the 1948 Presidential Elections
    THE GOOD OLD CAMPAIGNS AN ENGAGING LOOK AT THE 1948 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS Chicago Tribune - Chicago, Ill. Author: Steven M Gillon Steven M Gillon is the author of "That's Not What We Meant to Do: Reform and Its Unintended Consequences in 20th Century America" Date: Aug 20, 2000 In our age of focus groups and instant polls, it is refreshing to be reminded that presidential campaigns can sometimes be unpredictable and electrifying. Historian Zachary Karabell does just that in this entertaining and thoughtful account of the most exciting presidential campaign in modern times, the 1948 contest that pitted underdog incumbent Harry Truman, the Democrat, against the overconfident Thomas Dewey, the Republican, and two minor-party candidates. What makes the 1948 election unique, Karabell tells us, is not just its surprising outcome but the range of opinions articulated by the contenders. On the left, running on the Progressive Party ticket, was former Vice President Henry Wallace, who combined a populist appeal and deeply religious beliefs in his lonely crusade for internationalism and pacifism. "He believed he was called to lead a noble crusade in the path of righteousness," Karabell writes. Unfortunately for Wallace, the hardening Cold War consensus and growing fears of communist subversion left him vulnerable to charges of being soft on communism. Ironically, the most strident voices came not from the right but from fellow liberals in an operation organized by the White House and spearheaded by the Americans for Democratic Action. Karabell is evenhanded in his treatment of the often-elusive Wallace. While defending Wallace against the vicious Redbaiting of his opponents, Karabell acknowledges that his refusal to disavow the Communist Party overshadowed his farsighted and often courageous support for civil and economic rights.

  • Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.
