Mr. Vyshinsky (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) (translated from Russian): I should like to suggest that the completion of this discussion should not be carried over to the next meeting, because it would not be expedient to divide this question into two parts.
The President: Does any other representative wish to speak regarding the question of the adjournment of the proceedings at this stage? Then I will ask the Council to vote. All in favour of the proceedings in this discussion being adjourned until the meeting of the Council at 3 p.m. on Wednesday indicate by raising the right hand.
Show of hands.
…Against?
Show of hands.
The President: As seven representatives have voted in favour of the adjournment, I declare that it has been carried.
May I indicate at this stage to the representative of the USSR delegation that, in view of the statement which has been made to the Council and the text of the written statement as well as the oral statement made by the Iranian representative today, there is a question whether a dispute exists. If the Council should accept the view that there is a dispute, then under the terms of paragraph 3 of Article 27, since the Soviet Union is named as the other party to this dispute, it will not be possible for the representative from the Soviet Union to exercise a vote during the consideration of this particular debate, in any of the decisions referred to in that paragraph. This does not apply, of course, to decisions on procedure or matters under paragraph 2 of Article 27.
The Council stands adjourned until 3 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon.
The meeting rose at 6.08 p.m.
