Extract

The Indonesian question was before the Security Council twice in the period under review. On December 19, 1947, the Council decided without vote that Australia should continue as a member of the Committee of Good Offices after January 1, 1948, despite the expiration of its term as a member of the Security Council. From February 17 to February 28, 1948, the Council discussed the first interim report of the Committee of Good Offices.

17 The representative of Argentina (Arce) stated at the 232nd meeting of the Council that enhis government regarded this decision as “invalid considerlegally” since it did not receive the favorable vote of the five permanent members in accordance with Article 27(3) of the Charter, since “abstention is a means of concealing the veto.” The British and French representatives immediately reserved the position of their governments on this statement, but no general discussion ensued because of the desire to continue consideration of the India-Pakistan issue.
