§ The Acting Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations presents his compliments to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and has the honour to refer to the Secretary-General's Note of 20 January, 1972, on the subject of the review of the Charter of the United Nations. In the light of the comments already made on this subject the United Kingdom Government believe that any general review at the present time of the Charter is not in the best interests of the United Nations. There is no substantial measure of agreement and the initiation of a process of review is likely to lead to the weakening rather than the strengthening of the United Nations. The Government of 6W the United Kingdom are, however, willing to consider any specific amendments which are sound and have wide support among all sections of the membership of the United Nations.
