Draft Resolution on the Italian Question
(French Working Paper)

The General Assembly

In view of Resolution 310 (VIII) of the Trusteeship Council concerning the position of Italy,

Noting that Italy has been charged by the United Nations with the administration of the Trust Territory of Somaliland and that it is at the present time exercising its responsibilities as Administering Power as they are defined in Chapters 12 and 13 of the Charter,

Considering that Italy should be put in a position to exercise these responsibilities with complete efficacy,

Believing it necessary to this end that Italy become a member of the Trusteeship Council and consequently that it be admitted to the United Nations,

Recommends to the Security Council that it take urgently under consideration the present resolution with a view to recommending the immediate admission of Italy as member of the United Nations.
