The three Foreign Secretaries, who were referred to
by Prime Minister Churchill on February 7 as "the Committee",
9
appointed subcommittees to prepare draft statements on
specified subjects for submission to the Heads of
Governments. The Heads of Governments created three post-
Conference committees or commissions: a Reparation
Commission at Moscow, a commission at Moscow to discuss
the enlargement of the Polish Provisional Government,
and a committee at London to study the question of the
dismemberment of Germany.
The Yalta Agreements
The subjects discussed at the Yalta Conference on
which agreements were reached by the Heads of Governments
were the following:
(1) United Nations - The holding of a conference
at San Francisco to establish a general
International organization; a compromise
formila regarding the right of veto in
the Security Council of the organization
(item I of the protocol of proceedings); 1
consultation regarding trusteeship (item I
of the protocol) and support for the
admission of the Ukraine and Byelorussia to
the organization (not included in the
protocol).
(2)
Germany 0
The general right of veto on non-procedural matters of
peace and security was agreed to at the Dumbarton Oaks
Conversations in 1944, but there was disagreement on
whether a permanent member of the Security Council should
have the right to vote in connection with a dispute to
which it was a party, Harley A. Notter, Postwar Foreign
Policy Preparation, 1939-1945 (Department of State
publication 3580; 1949), Po 317. Under the compromise
proposed by the United States and agreed to at Yalta,
there is no veto on peaceful-settlement proposals in
connection with a dispute to which a permanent member
is a party.
