Such a resolution, which naturally would not preclude some  
necessary Judicial precautions that perhaps are indispensable, would be  
for these numerous victims a first ray of sun coming into their very  
dark night, the symbolic foretaste of a new era in va ich with the  
growing reconciliation of men all peace-loving nations, whether great  
or small, powerful or weak, victors or vanquished, will share not only
