Berlin: Berlin: Problems Arising from Federal Republic of Germany Membership of United Nations Security Council

A file containing documents relating to a possible review of the United Nations Charter. Subjects covered in the file include British opposition to major amendments; a proposal for Japan to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council; and the allegedly "anachronistic provisions" of the "enemy states" clauses, which were claimed by some British officials to be of continuing relevance in the absence of a peace treaty with Germany, and in connection with the continuing Allied responsibilities towards Berlin.
