Voting Procedure in the General Assembly

Abstract

Since 1945 the popular view that the United Nations would bring an end to power politics has given way in some quarters to the conviction that power politics will bring an end to the United Nations. More hopeful opinion recognizes and stresses the value of the United Nations as a continuous and expanding “service†organization operating essentially to facilitate discussion, to find and reduce technical sources of friction, and to crystallize world opinion around universal objectives. If, as Mr. Jessup has written, the United Nations is an instrument for “mobilizing world public opinion and making it articulate to the point at which it becomes a factor in the power situation,†the accent now must clearly and necessarily be on opinion rather than power. No Secretary of State today could tell a Senate Committee, as did Mr. Stettinius in 1945, that the heart of the Charter is to be found in the enforcement provisions of Chapter VII.
