Agenda has got too long.
Let's clear away
(ii)
problems of yesterday (need we go on discussing Korea
in cold war terms? What is the use or excuse for
including an item on Oman? Could some reports be made
every 2 or 3 years?) - make way for problems of
tomorrow, among them: in this "Moon Year", Outer Space,
Sea bed (?UK ideas on international regime), biological
warfare convention; environment; possibly population
in the light of progress in the UN's plans between now
and the opening of the Assembly7. One subject probably
on agenda for last time is Law of Treaties: important
convention concluded in Vienna this year; must have
very careful consideration but much in it is to be
greatly welcomed as significant contribution to the
stability of treaties, the indispensable bedrock of
international relations.
Voting

welcome.
Should be possible to devise a form of
association with the UN which does not require Charter
