without objections. It is not known for sure how far the
power of the Council would extend in such cases, that is,
whether its intervention would be limited to a simple recommenda.-
tion and to lending the necessary support to the regional action
for the settlement of the conflict in question, refraining from
any direct action in the matter while the regional proceedings
are developing, or whether it could, under the generic power
to 11 encourage", which would not bind it necessarily to inhibi-
tion, choose to act immediately alleging that the question in
dispute requires the indispensable, direct intervention of the
Council. It is understood that in the draft the details of the
structure of the regional groups or systoms within the general
organization are not determined, but it is necessary to insist
on some fundamental aspects of this matter, in order to obtain
the good functioning of the regional units within the world
system. There must be considered the difficulties inherent
in the coordination of the statute and mechanism of the partial
organizations with those of the general organization, and try
to avoid the conflicts of jurisdiction which would threaten the
stability and authority of the whole system. Therefore emphasis
must be placed on what has been said before, namely that
when
it is a question of local affairs the Security Council should
refrain from any intorvention, if any proceedings of regional
settlement are in progress, and limit itself to fulfilling the
function of an agency of final instance, if the method followed
proves to be unsuitod to solving the dispute.
No. 2. It is established that the Security Council should
mako use of the regional organizations to exercise enforcing
actions under its authority, that is, to put in force any
measure, if this should be advisable, but the necessity of
the authorization of the Council is required for any action or
measure which may bo based on the regional agreements.
Hero it is no longor a question of the functioning of
pacific methods, but of the application of penalties of a
military economic or othor character. The necessity is well
understood of establishing close cooperation between the general
system and the regional organizations, in order to prevent
conflicts and facilitate the practical success of these organi-
zations. The necessity is also recognized of subordinating
the action of the regional groups to the authority of the system,
to prevent the former from compromising the stability of the
latter, instead of being integrated into it and strengthening
it. But the proposal which is being examined, within the
general lines of the draft, which tond to give excessive power
to the Security Council, does not fail to present difficulties
for any regime which, like the inter-American, finds itself
in a position to study and adopt measures to preserve or
recstablish the regional or continental peace. As a matter
of fact the contrary interest and the lack of support of a
