The Final Steps
URING the transition period, the United Nations, through the’ provisional executive council, should likewise at the earliest moment instal a world court to which justiciable matters could be referred. To the court would be brought international controversies or problems whose solution it would be unnecessary to refer to a political body | such as the executive council itself. The executive council should also prepare the way for the creation of a world congress in which every sovereign state may be individually represented, and in which even the defeated Axis states may have representation as soon as their period of trial has ended and they have had the opportunity to select popular governments,
Only after a period of years, during which peace must be maintained; only after a provisional! United Nations execulive council and its security and armaments commission have carried out their preliminary tasks; only after a world court and a world congress are functioning; and only after the defeated Axis powers are under control and definitely on the path to regeneration, can, in my judgment, the final steps safely be taken to complete that permanent world organisation which the peoples of the world are seeking.
