Resolution adopted at the 4th plenary meeting on April 10, 1961
The United Nations Conference on Diplomatic Intercourse and Immunities,
Recalling that the General Assembly of the United Nations, by its resolution 1504 (XV) of 12 December 1960, referred to the Conference the draft articles on special missions contained in chapter III of the Report of the International Law Commission covering the Work of its Twelfth Session,
Recognizing the importance of the subject of special missions,
Taking note of the comments of the International Law Commission that the draft articles on special missions constituted only a preliminary survey and that the time at its disposal had not permitted the Commission to undertake a thorough study of the matter,
Considering the limited time available to the Conference to study the subject in full,
Recommends to the General Assembly of the United Nations that it refer to the International Law Commission further study of the subject of special missions in the light of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations adopted at the present Conference.
