organization the obligation of placing at the disposal of the
Security Council, when the latter so requests and in con-
formity with a general agreement or special agreements concluded
between them, the armed forces, the facilities and the aid
necessary to maintain international peace and security. By
the said agreement, or agreements, arrangements would be made
for the amount and kind of forces, the nature of the facilities
and the aid that they should furnish. The general agreement
or the special agreements would be concluded as soon as possible
and in each case would bo subject to the approval of the
Security Council and to ratification by the signatory States
according to their constitutional procedure.
In the agreements it should be determined as approxi- -
mately as possible what kind of military collaboration
could be required, in order that the State concerned might
know the extent of its obligations. In the said agreements,
according to our understanding, there would be determined the
way in which the expenses of the military operations would
be distributed.
The conclusion of special agreements, subject to legis -
lative action in each case, might constitute a serious obstacle
to the efficiency of the measures decreed by the Security
Council. Thus, the refusal of some States to ratify such
agreements or the delays that might occur on that account,
would detain rapid and timely repressive action. For this
reason an agreement of a general nature would be preferable,
annexed to the Pact, subject of course to the constitutional
provisions of the interested States, but providing once and
for all for the military collaboration to which they are
obligated. This would not prevent, however, the conclusion
of special agreements not subject to legislative ratification
and inspired with the same spirit.
No. 6. There is established another obligation on the
members of the organization which would maintain contingents
of national air forces, immediately available, for use in
compulsive international actions. The size and degree of
preparation of said contingents and the plans for the actions
would be determined by the Security Council with the aid of a
Staff Committee and according to what has been established
in the agreement or special agreements referred to in No. 5
above. With respect to the military contribution, a criterion
could contribute, among other elements and for obvious reasons,
geographical proximity, the legitimate interest and the mili-
tary capacity of each State.
No. 7. In this number it is established that the
