z '?-1-1 ,,, , 3. /.J. ?o U.N. Ob erver For Federalists Speaks At USD The observer at the United Nations of the World Association of World Federalists (WAWF) yesterday outlined revisions his group would like to see in the U.N. charter. Speaking at an International Law Society seminar at the ~- ~[Sit g Of §ap Dief of Donald eys said many 6 he third world nations [eel it is lime for a change in th 1.Jnited Nations' "pre-atomic" charter. 'Keys read statements from representatives of mall nations which indicate they feel they are "nothing but pmrns in a game of chess played I y the super pow- ers." The lI.N. General Assembly will meet this fall to decide the fate of its 25-year-old charter. Revisions the WAWF would like to see made include opening the doors to universal member• ship, modification of the veto power of the Security Council and e,cpansion of the Human Rights Commission. "The United Nations should be more than a club for the gold guys," Keys said. "We advocate the admission of mainland China and the divided states of North and South Vietnam and Korea and East and West Ger· many. "Admission would not prei· udice any change in their na- tional status," he said. "China will not accept an invitation to a disarmament conference until she receives international recog- nition." Keys said the WAWF felt the Security Council veto should be modified so that substantive questions could be decided by a two-thirds vote. He suggested that the Human Rights Commis• sion be given the standing o[ a : full council and that the post of high commissioner of human rights be created. "The development of the U.N.'s peace-making, peace- keeping and disarmament functions should proceed on a parallel level," Keys said. "The organization has no per- manent machinery for settling disputes. Under the charter, the Security Council decides who is at fault . A conciliation commis- sion should be created to resolve differences. "WAWF would like to see a U.N. observer corps established. he said, "with aU states re- quired to admit peace-keeping observers. Volunteers should be contributed to a U.1 . inter- positionary force to suppressl violence with as little disturb- ance a~ possible.''
