Second - Of What the Subcommission Is to Be Composed
On the basis of the terms of reference in the document numbered E/27, section B.4, providing that the first subcommission will make the recommendations concerning the final, permanent composition of the subcommission, the first subcommission recommends:
1 - That it be composed in the future of fifteen members, including three members from the Commission on Human Rights.
2 - That the appointment of members be made by the Economic and Social Council on the basis of their personal competence.
3 - That the choice of the other members be made from the regions of the Balkan states, Great Britain, Latin America, and the United States of America, so that the subcommission may be constituted in final, permanent form.
4 - That the choice be made from among women prominent in public affairs.
5 - That the president of the subcommission be consulted before the final appointment is made by the Economic and Social Council.
6 - The election of all the members must be renewed for a term of three years beginning the first of April 1947, so that they may render effective service during the founding period.
7 - That a sound system of rotation be followed after this period has elapsed.
8 - That the members attend regularly.
9 - In case any emergency arises, substitutes for the absent members shall be appointed under the rules of the Economic and Social Council.
10 - That the next meeting of the subcommission be held before the end of the year, and that the date be fixed by the president of the Economic and Social Council after consultation with the president of the subcommission and the vice-president.
The members of the subcommission wish to affirm that direct work can be done — indeed must be done — under the proposed rules, as follows:
1 - The executive bureau (paragraphs three and two).
2 - A general survey (paragraphs three and one).
3 - Education and instruction (paragraph one).
4 - The women's conference (paragraph two, 4).
5 - Political rights (paragraph one, A).
And the subcommission on women's affairs and status sincerely requests the Economic and Social Council to direct an appeal to those governments of the United Nations that have not granted woman her rights in elections, that they may do so at the earliest possible time, so that all the provisions of the United Nations Charter may be carried out.
