consider it desirable to extend this principle
to the selection of the non-permanent members.
Amendment (i) set out below is designed to en-
sure this.
The proposal in the original draft makes
inadequate provision for ensuring continuity of
experience in the working of the Security Coun-
cil as far as non-permanent membership is con-
cerned. We propose therefore to provide for
observers entitled to sit in the Security Coun-
cil but not to vote. By this means, without
enlarging the executive portion of the Security
Council, it will be possible to ensure in its
membership at all times a larger proportion of
working members having previous experience of
its procedure than would otherwise be the case.
We have substituted the word "appointment"
for "election" to leave it open to the General
Assembly to decide how they can best give effect
to the principles which we consider should
govern the selection of non-permanent members of
the Security Council.
The combined effect of these amendments is
to ensure that the Security Council will always
include an adequate proportion of members repre-
senting States having not only the will but the
ability to provide adequate resources for the
maintenance of international peace and security,
and also to ensure the presence at all times in
the Council of an adequate number of non-perma-
nent members having practical experience of its
working.
