Editorial Note
After the adjournment of the General Assembly, the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations met in special session to consider the responsibilities conferred on it with respect to Italian Somaliland. It appointed a subcommittee, composed of a representative each from the Dominican Republic, Iraq, the Philippines, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, to negotiate with Italy the draft of a trusteeship agreement for that territory in accordance with the General Assembly resolution. The intention was to submit a draft trusteeship agreement to the session of the Trusteeship Council scheduled to begin on January 19, 1950. The five-member United Nations Commission of Inquiry in Eritrea planned to meet at Lake Success in early January 1950 to start its work.
