The UN Security Council Resolution 13 is a resolution that the United Nations Security Council unanimously decided in the 83rd meeting on 12 December 1946th It dealt with the admission of Siam (today's Thailand ) as a new member in the United Nations .
background
After the Japanese surrender in September 1945, Thailand was named back in Siam. The regent Pridi Phanomyong revoked the alliance made with Japan during the Second World War and retrospectively declared the declarations of war on Great Britain and the USA null and void. Siam immediately returned the areas in northern Malaysia and the Shan states of Burma that were conquered and annexed by the British colonial empire during the war , but not the areas in Cambodia and Laos that had already been won as a result of the Franco-Thai War in 1940/41 . From March 24 to August 21, 1946, Pridi Phanomyong led the government as Prime Minister . From August 23 he was followed by Thawan Thamrongnawasawat .
Siam, which had applied for admission on August 3, 1946, asked the Security Council on August 28, one day before Resolution 8 was passed , to suspend deliberations on its admission procedure. The outcome of negotiations with Permanent Security Council member France on territorial disputes related to the Franco-Thai War should be awaited. Otherwise France would probably have prevented accession with its veto.
On 17 November, the negotiations had been completed and ended with a cancellation of previous agreements brokered Japan on May 9, 1941. Siam had now large areas to the française Union belonging protectorates Laos and Cambodia exits.
