S/PV.372 Security Council

We are about to V'Oie on the draft l'esolulion whieh has been submitted to the <":ouncil but, before prûœeding to the vote, 1 should like, on behalf of my country, to 1 explain the affirmative vote which Argentina wiLl .cast, and indicate its meaning. Argentina interprets the recommendation which the Council will vote upon as foUows: The Governments of the four countries concerned-the United States o~ America, the UnH{:d Kingdom, France and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics-shalll order the four Military Go·vernors of Germany, as soon as they ar·e notified : First, to lift, immediately, the restrictinns imposed on communications, ·transport and commerce; Secondly, to proceed to the immediate unification and simultaneous introduction of the German mark of the Soviet Zone under four-Power .control, as the sole CUl'- rency in Berlin. For their part, the Military Governors shall proceedas follows : (a) They shaH separately order their SubOl1dinates, immedia'tely, to implement the orders to lift existing restrictions so that oIllly a justifiable and well-substantiated materia'l difficulty shall be aoceptable as a cause for delay; vigueur, leurs immédiatement de matériel être (b) The Military Governors shaH carry out the intToduction and unification of the German mark of the Soviet Zone in Berlin in the shortest !possible time, but in no case shaH that 'Periodexceed the ti.me-limi' set in the recommendation. monétaire la Berlin, exécuter bref; ser dation Téuniront problème dans mandation Conseil. wésenté délégations la y Thereafter there shall be a meeting of the Foreign Ministers to deal with the entire prohlem of ·Germany, in aœo~danœ with the terms of the recommendation submitted to the Council for consideration. The Security CO'l1ncil will now vote on the lh'aft 'l'esolution presented by the dclegations of Belgium, Canada, China, Colombia, Syriaand Ar.gentina. The result of the Dote was 9 in favour and 2 against. The draft resolution was not adopted, one of the votes against being thal of a permanent member of the Council.

Since a question of substance is involved, as provided in ,paragraph 3 of Article 27 the Charter the negative vote of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics implies a veto and therefore the Iproposal is rejeeted.
