Nations Conference or in the preliminary consultations, and it will
be a matter for subsequent agreement which territories within the
above categories will be placed under trusteeship.
II. Declaration on Liberated Europe
The following declaration has been approved:
"The Premier of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom and the President of the United States
of America have consulted with each other in the common interests of
the peoples of their countries and those of liberated Europe. They
jointly declare their mutual agreement to concert during the temporary
period of instability in liberated Europe the policies of their three
governments in assisting the peoples liberated from the domination of
Nazi Germany and the peoples of the former Axis satellite states
of
Europe to solve by democratic means their pressing political and
economic problems.
"The establishment of order in Europe and the re-building of na-
tional economic life must be achieved by processes which will enable
the liberated peoples to destroy the last vestiges of Nazism and Fas-
cism and to create democratic institutions of their own choice. This
is a principle of the Atlantic Charter-the right of all peoples to choose
the form of government under which they will live-the restoration of
sovereign rights and self-government to those peoples who have been
forcibly deprived of them by the aggressor nations.
"To foster the conditions in which the liberated peoples may exer-
cise these rights, the three governments will jointly assist the people
in any European liberated state or former Axis satellite state in Europe
where in their judgment conditions require (a) to establish conditions
of internal peace; (b) to carry out emergency measures for the relief of
distressed peoples; (c) to form interim governmental authorities
broadly representative of all democratic elements in the population
and pledged to the earliest possible establishment through free elec-
tions of governments responsive to the will of the people; and (d) to
facilitate where necessary the holding of such elections.
"The three governments will consult the other United Nations and
provisional authorities or other governments in Europe when matters
of direct interest to them are under consideration.
"When, in the opinion of the three governments, conditions in any
European liberated state or any former Axis satellite state in Europe
make such action necessary, they will immediately consult together
on the measures necessary to discharge the joint responsibilities set
forth in this declaration.
"By this declaration we reaffirm our faith in the principles of the
Atlantic Charter, our pledge in the Declaration by the United Nations,
and our determination to build in co-operation with other peace-
loving nations world order under law, dedicated to peace, security,
freedom and general well-being of all mankind.
"In issuing this declaration, the Three Powers express the hope
that the Provisional Government of the French Republic may be
associated with them in the procedure suggested.'
III. Dismemberment of Germany
It was agreed that Article 12 (a) of the Surrender Terms for Germany
should be amended to read as follows:
"The United Kingdom, the United States of America and the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics shall possess supreme authority
with respect to Germany. In the exercise of such authority they will
take such steps, including the complete disarmament, demilitarisation
and the dismemberment of Germany as they deem requisite for future
peace and security."
