The reaction of the Committee to the conflicting arguments is indicated by its overwhelming vote to accept the joint resolution, the operative provisions of which read as follows : " The General Assembly " Considers that the active assistance given to the Greek guerrillas by Albania in particular, by Bulgaria and by certain other States, including Roumania, in disregard of the Assembly's recommendations, is contrary to the purpose and principles of the United Nations Charter and endangers peace in the Balkans ; " Considers that further foreign assistance to the Greek guerrillas resulting in the launching of new armed action against Greece from adjacent territory would seriously increase the gravity of the danger to the peace and would justify the Special Committee in recommending, pursuant to paragraph 8 of resolution 109 (II), the convocation, as a matter of urgency, of a special session of the General Assembly in order to give consideration to further steps necessary for the removal of this danger to the peace ; " Calls upon Albania, Bulgaria and the other States concerned to cease forthwith rendering any assistance or support to the guerrillas in fighting against Greece, including the use of their territories as a base for the preparation or launching of armed actions ; " Recommends to all Members of the United Nations and to all other States : " (a) To refrain from any action designed to assist directly or through any other Government any armed group fighting against Greece ; " (b) To refrain from the direct or indirect provision of arms or other materials of war to Albania and Bulgaria until the Special Committee or another competent United Nations organ has determined that the unlawful assistance of these States to the Greek guerillas has ceased ; "(c) To take into account, in their relations with Albania and Bulgaria, the extent to which those two countries henceforth abide by the recommendations of the General Assembly in their relations with Greece ; " Again calls upon Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia to cooperate with Greece in the settlement of their differences by peaceful means, in accordance with the provisions of Article 2, paragraph 3, of the Charter, and to that end recommends : " (a) That, in view of the existence of diplomatic relations between the Governments of Greece and Yugoslavia, further efforts be made by those Governments through diplomatic channels to resolve the differences between them ; " (h) That Albania and Bulgaria on the one hand, and Greece on the other, establish normal diplomatic and good neighbourly relations, and endeavour through diplomatic channels to resolve differences ; " (c) That they renew previously operative conventions or conclude new ones providing effective machinery for the regulation and control of their common frontiers and for the peaceful adjustment of frontier incidents.
