Abstract
135 (1960). Resolution of 27 May 1960
[S/4328]
The Security Council,
Mindful of its responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security,
Noting with regret that the hopes of the world for a successful meeting of the Heads of Government of France,
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United
States of America have not been fulfilled,
Considering that these developments have caused great disappointment and… [read more] concern in world public opinion,
Considering also that the resulting situation may lead to an increase of international tensions likely to
endanger peace and security,
Being convinced of the necessity to make every effort to restore and strengthen international good will and
confidence, based on the established principles of international law,
Being especially aware of the mounting danger of the continuation of the armaments race,
1. Recommends to the Governments concerned to seek solutions of existing international problems by negotiation
or other peaceful means as provided in the Charter of the United Nations;
2. Appeals to all Member Governments to refrain from the use or threats of force in their international
relations, to respect each other's sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence, and to refrain
from any action which might increase tensions;
3. Requests the Governments concerned to continue their efforts to achieve a constructive solution of the
question of general and complete disarmament under effective international control in accordance with General
Assembly resolution 1378 (XIV) and the discontinuance of all nuclear weapons tests under an appropriate
international control system, as well, as their negotiations on measures to prevent surprise attack, including
technical measures, as recommended by the General Assembly;
4. Urges the Governments of France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland and the United States of America to resume discussions as soon as possible and to avail
themselves of the assistance that the Security Council and other appropriate organs of the United Nations may
be able to render to this end.
Adopted at the 863rd meeting by 9 votes to none, with 2 abstentions (Poland, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). [^]
