Two slight changes were made in the draft as it was adopted, for which see Documents A (Extr. ). 22. 1933. VII (addendum), and A (Extr. ). 22 (a). 1933. VII.

4 Action under Article 11 seems to require unanimity. Yet it was not made clear at the time, that the draft resolution was not adopted; the President of the Council declared it “ adopted unanimously except for one vote. ” Id. , p. 2359. The report adopted by the Special Assembly on February 24, 1933, makes it plain that the draft resolution of October 24. 1931, is not to be regarded as having been adopted
