Le secrétaire général des Nations unies au président de la septième session de l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies | |
|
New York,
le 10 novembre 1952 | |
|
Dear Mr. Pearson,
I wish to refer to our personal and confidential conversation on the eleventh of September, in which I informed you that I had decided, after lengthy consideration over many months, to submit my resignation as Secretary-General of the United Nations. It had been my intention - as I informed you then - to take this step at the opening of the Seventh Session of the General Assembly. I have delayed until today, when the Foreign Ministers of the five Permanent Members of the Security Council are all present for the first time during this session, in the hope that this will facilitate agreement on my successor. I shall be grateful if you would propose as a new item on the agenda "Appointment of the Secretary-General". Yours sincerely, | |
