CHAPTER XX. 128
Secretary-General, since the publication of the draft Treaty, and to examine the obligations contained in the
Covenant of the League in relation to the guarantees of security which a resort to arbitration and a reduction
of armaments may require:
(2) The First Committee is requested:
(a) To consider, in view of possible amendments, the articles in the Covenant relating to the settlement of
disputes;
(b) To examine within what limits the terms of Article 36, paragraph 2, of the statute establishing the
Permanent Court of International Justice might be rendered more precise and thereby facilitate the more
general acceptance of the clause;
and thus strengthen the solidarity and the security of the nations of the world by settling by pacific means all
disputes which may arise between States.
