That there be included the promotion of respect for\nthe rights of man and for his fundamental freedoms. (Chapter I,\nNo. 3. )\n3. That an Economic and Social Council be included among\nthe principal bodies appertaining to the Organizations\n(Chapter IV. )\n4.\nThat there be granted to the Assembly the power to re-\ninstate any member suspended in its rights and prerogatives.\nSaid power would be exercised by the Council when the Assembly\nis not in session.

That the clause relating to expulsion of members be\nstricken out, such expulsion being contrary to the idea of\nuniversality of the Organization, which ideal should be pur-\nsued as the maximum aspiration. (Chapter V, Section B. No. 3.)\n6. That it be established that the Assembly shall be con-\nvened to special sessions by the Secretary General on request\nof a given number of members or whenever the Council shall so\nrequire it. (Chapter V, Section D, No. 1.)\n7. That in view of the difficulty of laying down rules\nfor the election of non-permanent members of the Council, the\nProposals confine themselves to indicating the advisability of\naffording adequate representation on it to Latin America.\n(Chapter VI, Section A. )\n8. That it be provided that a State or States with seats\non the Council, when parties to a controversy, shall be entitled\nto a hearing only. (Chapter VI, Section c.)\n9. That the possibility be provided for that the favor-\nable vote of a special minority of members, whether permanent\nor otherwise, of the Council be sufficient to enable a State\nbut without the right to vote.
