According to the sponsors, the Resolution comes in response to a rising nation- wide demand to save the United Nations from the clutches of Malik's veto, and to save many American lives by organizing under a UN Police Authority the hundreds of thousands of volunteers throughout the world, who want to join in the fight against the Communist aggressors, in Korea and elsewhere. The sponsors believe, that a UN Police Authority should be established, as can be done, strictly in accordance with the UN Charter, upon the recommendation of the UN General Assembly, and under Article 51 of the Charter. As a practical basis the Resolution suggests that the UN Police Authority could consist of nine delegates -- three from the United States, three from the British Common- wealth and France, and three collectively elected by the smaller member-states.
