United Nations Security Council Resolution 34, titled "The Greek Question" and adopted on 15 September 1947, removed disputes between Greece and Albania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria from the Council's agenda. It further requested the Secretary-General to place all records and documents in the case at the disposal of the General Assembly.

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

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 Democratic Army of Greece (DSE). The Bulgarian government had also initially occupied some of Greek Macedonia. Towards the end, there was a split in the resistance between the Soviet leader Stalin's wish to end the war and Yugoslav leader Tito's wish to continue.
