RIGHT OF SELF-COVERNMENT BY PEOPLES OF ALL NATIONS

Mr. GILLETTE, by unanimous consent, submitted the following resolution (S. Res. 138); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:

Whereas it is the United States policy to uphold the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and the Declaration of Principles of the Atlantic Charter: and

Whereas one of the purposes of the United Nations Charter is "to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination;" and

Whereas one of the principles of the Atlantic Charter is to "respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live" and "to see sovereign rights and self-government restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them;" and

Whereas there are many nations with which the United States wishes to develop friendly relations but which do not enjoy equal rights and self-determination, and many nations which do not enjoy the right to choose the form of government under which they live, or which have been forcibly deprived of their sovereign rights and self-government; and

Whereas there is clear and growing evidence of the determination of the peoples of such nations to achieve equal rights, self-determination, sovereign rights, and self-government; and

Whereas it is in the interests of the United States and of free peoples throughout the world that these peoples liberate themselves from foreign domination in order to, and in such manner as to strengthen the forces of freedom and weaken the forces of totalitarian dictatorship; and

Whereas the American people have pursued a traditional dedication to political liberty and a traditional opposition to all forms of imperialism: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That in reaffirming the policy of the United States to uphold the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and of the Atlantic Charter and to assist free peoples to re

tain their freedom and independence, the Senate further declares it should be the policy of this Government: (1) To respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live, (2) to encourage restoration of sovereign rights and selfgovernment to those who have been forcibly deprived of them, (3) to support the aspirations for freedom and the orderly development of self-government of colonial peoples throughout the world; and (4) to assist, as soon as it may become practicable, in developing the human and material resources of such peoples.
