The postulate of outfitting the new international security organisation with suitable armed forces appeared already at the onset of work on the organisation's statute, and was recorded in the United Nations Charter (chapter VII, articles 42-49). Article 46 in particular foresaw the establishment of a Military Staff Committee, whose task was to devise principles and create the international armed forces of the United Nations Organisation. The animosity of Soviet diplomacy, evident from the very beginning, towards a rapid and effective creation of this sort of an organ of the U. N. Security Council, as well as the political obstruction of the Soviet delegation disclosed during sessions of the Military Staff Committee working on the principles of setting up such an armed force, were the reason why the task in question was never realised. The author examines the establishment of the Military Staff Committee and, predominantly, the activity of the Soviet delegation during the first two years of its existence.
