The Security Council,

Having considered the item on its agenda as contained in document S/Agenda/906,
Taking into account that the lack of unanimity of its permanent members at the 906th meeting of the Security
Council has prevented it from exercising its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace
and security,
Decides to call an emergency special session of the General Assembly, as provided in General Assembly resolution
377 A (V) of 3 November 1950, in order to make appropriate recommendations.

Adopted at the 906th meeting by 8 votes to 2 (Poland, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), with I abstention
(France).
