Editorial Note
The same United Nations official public documentation cited in the editorial note on page 771 is relevant also in respect of the self-determination question, as the essential question was whether a self-determination article should be included in the draft of the Covenant or Covenants. The appropriate texts and sources are also included in the fascicule on agenda item 29 cited ibid. For the text of the resolution as adopted by the General Assembly on February 5, 1952, Resolution 545 (VI), see GA (VI), Resolutions, pages 36 and 37. The United States voted against the resolution both in the Third Committee on January 25, 1952, and the plenary meeting of the General Assembly on February 5, 1952. For the statement by the United States Representative (Roosevelt) to the Third Committee on January 25, 1952, explaining the negative United States vote, see GA (VI), Third Committee, page 345.
