14 (1946). Resolution of 16 December 1946
As the General Assembly has decided that the terms of office of the elected members of the Security Council should commence on 1 January and end on 31 December, it would seem desirable that the monthly rotation of the presidency should be adjusted so that the rotation ·would commence and end on the same dates ;
To this end,
The Security Council
Resolves that the operation of rule 18 of the rules of procedure be suspended for a sufficient period to allow the representative of the United States of America to remain in office as President of the Council from 17 December until 31 December 1946.
Adopted at the 84th meeting by 9 votes to none, with 2 abstentions (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, United States of America).

14 (1946). Resolution du 16 decembre 1946
L'Assemblee generale ayant decide que les membres
aelus au Conseil de securite exerceraient leur mandat dater du 1er janvier et jusqu'au 31 decemhre, il semble desirable que le systeme de roulement mensuel prevu pour la presidence soit mis au point de fa<;on que les periodes de roulement commencent et prennent fin anx memes dates;
A cette fin,
Le Conseil de securite
Decide de suspendre !'application de !'article 18 du reglcment interieur pendant un temps suffisant pour permcttre au representant des Etats-U nis d'Amerique
de continuer a assumer la presidence du Conseil de
securite du 17 clecembre au 31 decembre 1946.
