United Nations Security Council Resolution 34 was adopted on 15 September 1947. The Council removed the dispute between Greece and Albania, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria from its agenda and turned over all documents related to the case to the General Assembly.

Resolution 34 passed with nine votes to two. Poland and the Soviet Union voted against.[1]

Historical background

Resolution 34 was passed in the midst of the Greek civil war, in which the communist states of Albania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia supported the Democratic Army of Greece. At one time, Bulgaria occupied a portion of Greek Macedonia. At the end of the conflict, Joseph Stalin, who wished to end the war, clashed with Josip Broz Tito, who wanted it to continue.
