In a note dated 21 December 1959, the WEU Secretary-General outlines the situation regarding the ratification of the Convention making provision for due process of law in accordance with Protocol No IV and the Agreement drawn up in implementation of Article V of Protocol No II, both signed in Paris on 14 December 1957. Despite the fact that the Convention was signed two years ago, no Member States have yet ratified it. As regards the Agreement, it has so far been approved only by Belgium, Italy, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and France. This state of affairs is limiting the ability of the Agency for the Control of Armaments to supervise the level of armaments of forces under national command.
