2 For this reason a request by the Secretary General of Jan. 3, 1950, pursuant to General Assembly Resolution 375 (IV) of Dec. 6, 1949, for comment on “whether any further action should be taken by the General Assembly” on the Draft Declaration on the Eights and Duties of States is not included in the tabulation which provides the basis of this study. Of 60 governments requested, 48 made no reply. Eeplies were received from the following 12 governments: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, France, India, Israel, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Syria, and United Kingdom. Eeplies are mimeographed in U. N. Docs. A/1338, Aug. 30, 1950, with one addendum thereto, and A/1850, Aug. 10, 1951, and were considered by the Sixth Committee of the General Assembly, Nov. 17–23, 1951, at its sixth session, A/C.6/SE.253–257.
