The above-mentioned circumstances, and also the broad scale which international shipping has now reached, demand, in the opinion of the Government of the USSR, the formulation and adoption of a multilateral convention which would allow the regularization of the mutual relations of captains of vessels and the authorities of the place concerned, and the precise regulation of the rights and obligations of coastal countries in relation to foreign vessels staying in their ports, and would secure respect for the flag of the vessel, and for the honour and dignity of the captain and members of the crew.
The formulation and subsequent adoption of an international convention on a regime of vessels in foreign ports would fully correspond to the provisions of Article 1 of the IMCO Convention, concerning international cooperation in the field of shipping and also to the provisions of Article 1 of the Convention on facilitating international shipping of 1965 concerning the obligation of states "to adopt all proper measures for the facilitation and acceleration of international shipping and the prevention of unnecessary delays to vessels and to persons and property on them".
The adoption of the above-mentioned convention would contribute to a significant degree not only to the development of shipping but also to the further expansion of trading links between peoples, and the removal of the reasons for misunderstanding in relations between the captains of foreign vessels and local port aut orities.
The draft worked out by the competent Soviet organisations of a convention on this question, which might serve as the basis for discussion in IMCO, is transmitted for the attention of the competent British organisations.
The Soviet side express the hope that the initiative of the Soviet Government concerning the formulation and subsequent adoption of the above-mentioned convention within the framework of IMCO will be supported by the British delegation during its consideration within the IMCO framework.
The Soviet side also expresses its readiness, if considered necessary, to hold consultations of experts either in Moscow or in London for an exchange of opinions on the question of the formulation and adoption of such a convention, and to provide the necessary explanations concerning the Soviet draft.
