United Nations Security Council Resolution 34, titled "The Greek Question" and adopted on September 15, 1947, removed disputes between Greece and Albania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, from the Council's agenda. It further requests the UN Secretary General to allow all records and documents related to the disputes for the use by the UN General Assembly.[1]

The resolution was approved by nine votes to two (Poland and Soviet Union).[1]

Historical Background

The resolution, passed in 1947, occurred during the midst of the Greek Civil War, in which the communist Yugoslav, Bulgarian, and Albanian governments supported elements of the DSE. The Bulgarian government had also initially occupied some of Greek Macedonia. Towards the end, there was a split in the resistance between the USSR leader Stalin's wish to end the war and the Yugoslav leader Tito's wish to continue.[2]
