Editorial Note
The United Nations Security Council held its 485th meeting on August 10 from 3 to 5:50 p. m.; for the record, see U.N. document S/PV.485. Ambassador Austin made a lengthy statement reviewing the political history of Korea in the postwar period, but no substantive action took place in the light of the continuing procedural deadlock caused by the refusal of the President (Malik) to rule on the point of order raised by the representative of the Republic of China at the previous meeting on the matter of the President’s obligation to honor the June 25 Security Council decision to invite the representative of the Republic of Korea to sit at the Council table.
