References

1 The Representative of France submitted a memorandum on 27 May 1947 concerning draft texts relating to the Principles of the Charter and Judgment of the Nuremberg Tribunal. (A/AC.10/34.)

2 The Representative of Poland desired to have it placed on record that the Polish Government considers that propaganda of aggressive wars constitutes a crime under international law and falls under the scope of preparation to such wars as listed in Article 6a of the Statute of Nuremberg. This crime is a dangerous form of preparation, likely to cause and increase international friction and lead to armed conflicts. It is a form of psychological armaments as opposed to the notion of moral disarmament. The Criminal Code of Poland, which is in force from 1 September 1932, contains the prohibition of propaganda of wars of aggression in its Article 113.

The Polish Government expects that a similar provision will be incorporated into the codification of Crimes against Peace and Security, and requests that the International Law Commission take appropriate action on this matter as one of primary importance.

The Representatives of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union associate themselves with this statement.

3 The Representative of France submitted a memorandum on 15 May 1947 concerning a draft proposal for the establishment of an international court of criminal jurisdiction.
