Introduction

The purpose of this note is to indicate the general lines

of present Head.quarters policy r~c;arding General /,sscmbly Resolution

200(111) and the suggested role or the regional camrl.ssions and their

secretariats in its implementationo Such a discussion falls naturnlly

into two parts - (a) the formal aspects with which Camnissions themselves

may be concemed., and (b) the operational aspects involving the coordinoted

(a) ,~5 to the first of these, resolutions adoptecl by 1'egio1!:;1l

economic commissions (ECAFE and ~LA) alrt!ady provide some inuicntion of

the need for technical assistanceo further recommendGtions or proposnls

by regional economic commissions nmy be submitted by them to the J.::conanie

and 0ocia.l Council. lt is clearly open to regional economic comrni~sions

to resolve to approach the Economic and Social Council directly on policy

matters nffecting the region on which the Commission winhes its views to

be before the Council. As .to the need for technical assistnncc arising 4

within the region, the Secretary-General alone has responsibility for the

allocation of appropriated fundso

Regional secretariats, therefore, would ncrnally continue

alreudy made in respect of technical assistance services to be arranged

within the region either by the use of local resources and arrangements with

~enber Governments in the region or those which might be provided by the

Secretary-General from funds appropriated under the General Assembly Reso­

lution. This would suggest that in general new resolutfons should draw

the Secretary-Generals attention to particular region's r.seds and if ,,

n~cessary indicite an approximate order of priority in respect of regional

requirements.

(b) Ae to the oper~tions.l aspects, these cover the whole field

of activity pcnnitted under the· Asse::ibly Hesolution since it charges t he

Secretary-General with full operational responsibilityo The progrrurrne

envisaged fc,.lls into four main parts ,. Its coordination with the activities

of the specialized agencies is explicitly ref!Uired o Coordination wit.h

rcgiollhl secretariats is, of course, implied b~ the p,iving or sole respon­

sibility to the Secrctary-Gcneralo Total fin~ncial responsibility rests

squarely with Uca.dquarters both as a matter or financial control and in

order to ensure equitable geor,rnphic distribution and the avoidance of

excessive overheads. •

Int.he following paragraphs, each pRrt~culc:r field of work

is discussed in turn and as cle~r an indication as is now possible or the

regional secretariats' , role is ei ven"

lo Comprehensive .&onOl!lic llissions (paragraph J{a) } . /

It is intended that the comprehensive mssions to be or-ganized

will bring to bear upon the economic problems of an under-deyeloped country

the facilities of the Departzr1~nt of .ooonornic Affairs, including the region2.l

aecrotciriat concerned, and of the interested specialized agencies" To

Reports

Before a mission report is formally submitted to the Secretnry~neral, the Executive Secretary concerr.-ed should huve adequate opportunity to present his viewn and cooiraents.

The initiative in connection with proposals cbncerriing the

s~cialized missions referred to in the second half of paragraph 3(a) can

most appropriately be taken by the Executive Secretaries of the regional

conmissionso

2.. Training of Experj:,s ttbfoad (1''gllowships - paragraph J(pll

The general scheme ,for the provision of fellowships is set forth

in the Memorandum annexed to this papero · Experience has still to be gained

as to the most appropriate points at which regional secretariats can parti­

cipate and forward th proposed arrangement.so The tiemornndum now requires

governments to notify r6gional secretariats of their candidates and the

proposed field ot study; it is expected that out of tpis will develop

specific collaboration on the points mentioned bel.CM o

a., In order to expedit.e action on application;:;, 1:ember Governroents havti been requested to r orwatd -to regional secretariats copies of their applications to llewiquc;.Tterao The regional secretariats are asked to f orwnrcl their views and comuents to the hssistHnt SecreturJ-General as quickly as possible. They will be notified by tha Assistant ~ecrettf.ry,­Gcueral of the proposed allocations in time -to rem.it consideration or suggested changeso

b. . liegiorwl ,secretariats are asked to undertake specific enquiries into the needs of countries within their regions tor -training of cxpe~s · ahronc in order to clarify the .fields of greatest interest and facilitate the ~aking of ade~uate arrangements.. The enquiry recently underu.ken, for example, by the l!X:LA secretariat illustrates the possible character of mich enquirieso

c.. Regional secretariats will, from time to tiroe, be requested to undertake egotiations with prospective host govenunents tor necessary faci­lities to be extended to fellows.,

:;. Visits or Experts (pa.rngraph 3(c))

Hegion;,l secretariats aro clearly well pl.aced to take responsi-

bility for government applications for services under paragraph J(c), and

in particular to appraise prospects for, and proper approach to, a success­

ful. t,.uin:i.!'.g of local technicinns. Guidance from regiomu sec1.et:.q·iate 011

The progrlf.'l)il in this field can be d5.vided into:

b. Visits of expEn-"<,s f; .. om courl~rie;-, outs ide t.1·,e region which have ~ehicved advanced levels of. teehnical competenceo

I

-5-

In respect ot (a), the majority of program.es tor intra-regiorw.L

visits of experts could be entirely prepared by the secretariats ot the I

regional c ssions in cooperation with their Ma:llber Governments. Ten-

tative programoos should be commmicated to Headquarters in order to e{lsure

coordination with activities under the iissembl.y Resolut.ion am Heb.dquurters

participation where the subject requires this. Assist~.nce tran Head(!uarters <

would be available in advising ~ met}:lods of organizing training institutes

and other nctivities or providing instructional material or possibly equip-- '

mento Regional secretariats would be expected to handle all administrative

and organizational ~10rk involved.

As to (b), visits of experts fran outside the region could be

arranged directly by Headquarters on regional initiative or might be, as

occasion arose, proposed by Headquarters to regional secretariats. In­

!ormation as to facilities &vailable or other aesistance which Headquarters

may be able to give will be provided,. Applications by governments tor

assistanee under paragraph 3(c) could be entirely developed. through regional

secretariats and presenteq by them to Headquarters with the proposed programme

of work.. Headquarters assistance and advice on methods and techniques would

be available., It -would often be advisable to arrange visits or experts in

certain eases to run consecutively to more than one country., Hegiona.l

secretariats would be expected to plan antl organize visits and undertnke

necessary adcinistrutive a~tion in this connection. Substantial savings, in

the cost of these visits may thus be achieved.,

Doth under (a) and (b) above the financia:l arr~.ngements will be

worked out in each case.,

4., Dissemipation of '1'echnical Information etc, {paragrttph 3(d))

A wide va~iety of activities is permitted under this part of

the Resolution, but for the present in view of the limitation of funds and

staff it would seem desir~ble not to disperse available re&ources too

thinly but ruther to concentrate. upon specific activities.,

-6-

Initial preparaLions have already been st~rted by Headquarters

for the holding of a neoting ot experts fran various under-developed regions

to discuss special probl ms of economic development, each expert submitting

in advance -e. paper on a selected subject. These papers, toeethcr with the

record of the discussions held during the meeting, would be published .,

The subject likely to be selected is 11.L:.ethods and TechniC?_ues of Economic

Lieveloµnent of the Less-Developed Count.ries".

n8 far as funds are available, Executive Secretaries may wish

to consider initiating proposal.a for similar meetings from tirne to ti.me

on a regional b~si to consider questions of regional signific~ncea Head­

quarters should be informed of initial preparations in order to ensure co-- and

ordination with other activitie U1'¥ier Resolution 200(III),/to ensure if

required Headquarters participation.

The principal activity - other than possible action to assist

Governments., at their request, to obtain technical personnel, equipment and

supplies - which might be initiated tmder parRgraph J(d) during 1949 a.part

!'rom the above meeting of experts would be the publicntion of pamphlets on

technical subjects of substantial importance to under-d eloped-coqntries,

a.nd possibly the occnsional. publiction of an economic development bulletino

As fc.r as the publication of r,amphlets is concerned, there nre

several topics of c01IL10n interest to all regions on ~hich studies might be

prepared &fter consultation with regional secretariats, ard they could ~"lke

proposals tor additionul subjects according to their own appraisal of out­

standing needs~ In general, the object should be to ~elect topics of

immediate and ccmnon interest ,,

As to the contents of an economic developnent bulletin, this

might include both information especially relevant -to the progress of

economic developnent in the region ot a general econanic character and

inforrn.~tion ot a more strictly technological character where this might

have important implications on -the progress of econanic develoJ:lllSflt.

-I

In addition, information might be provided on the econauic work of the

United Ilutions and the specialized agencies and other important inter- .

national organizations of particular interest to econanically under­

developed countrieso The editing and printing of such a wlletin wou d

necessarily have to be uroertF.ken at Heaciquarters although close cooper11tion

with regional secret.:..riats would be muintained. Contributed articles arvl

information from regional secreturiats would clearly be re~uirodo

DONOGHUE IR 1206 EDST

I wish to thank you, warmly, far the appointment with which you have uuet honoured

me.

I can sincerely say that none of the honours which the delegations have been so

kind as to lay upon me in the United Nations has satisfied me so deeply. By being so

elected, I am connected, in a position of honour, with the initiation of the

implementation of an idea far which ncy- country has fought hard for mny years in the

United Nations; I am connected with the final stage of a work, over whose initial

stages I also had the honour of presiding, a work which is, in TIJy opinion, together

with the Declaration of Human Rights,~ the most far-reaching achievement of the

United Nations in i ta ilbual five years of existence.

It is "fI1Y absolute conviction that tha.s Conference will mm be a landmrk in the

history of international co-operation and in the histcry of human progress. From

this Conference will emerge, solidly based, the first programme of• universal scope,

financed by the efforts of the men of mare than seventy countries, to transform the

economic structure of immense areaa which constitute mare than one-half of the globe

and to give a truly human status to mare than two thirds of the inhabitants of the world.

I realize that the contribution during the first year will not be excessively

large although I am confident that it will be substantial. This will only be the

beginning. There can be no doubt that in a few years the programme will develop•

on an immense scale because the under-developed countries will understand the immense

benefits which this programme can bring them and the industrialized countries will

broaden their growing understanding that the economic development of the backward areas

• r , '

- 2 -

ls,the only means of naintaining their economic stability. All will understand that

this joint enterprise, which reflects a feeling of hunan solidarity and the realization

of the economic interdependence· of all countries, is a more p<Merful n and mare

decisive contribution to peace than an agreement for the limitation of arnaments.

As President of the Conference, I should like to add my welcome to that given

to delegation {by the Secretary-General. It is extended especially to the

representatives of countries which are not members of the United Nations. Their

:presence at the Conference was essential if it was to have the universal scope which

is fundamental to the Programme of Technical Assistance far Economic Development.

I am sure that all those present hope that all these countries will co-operate fully

and actively in all the economic and social work of the United Nations.

I in silence the absence of some countries which, far political

reasons, the eight of which mny of us do not understand, have thought it

in the greatest enterprise yet conceived

economic co-operation of the peoples of the

world. Unfortunately none f the constructive meas es of economic co-operation

/ hitherto undertaken by the Unite Nations has enjoyed the co-operation of those

countries, either in its planning or execution. OUr possibilities will not

therefore be reduced in relation to all o Nevertheless the fact /

that those nations approved the programme int General Assembly gave us cause to

hope for a change of attitude which would certainly ve faTourable repercussions

both on the programme itself and on the general future o nternational co-operation / .

/. I therefore sincerely regret a situation which affords a new /

/ of non-co-operation on the part of a minority of countries.

y dear Koateleclcy',

I reply to your lett rot 17th Nov b r, and hope that the following will be or help.

a regarda the date, Council resolution 55 (IV) eabodying the "•ix-weeks" rule only applies trictly to reports ot functional Commissions, and it excepts the report• of ECE. However, on a number ot occuiona Member• have expres ed th wish that all such reports coming before the Council should confer u closely practicable to the isae rule, an it 1a of course higily desirable from the point ot view of proper considerationaby del gations that the reports should be available to them tor some uch peri'od. Fro the point o! view ot our preparations generally, we should also like to have th report tor distribution by Christma . · It is always of course possible , if there is some event 1n the period before the Council starts that you d sire particularly to bring to its notice , to send in an addendum.

• regards term and Character, you have no doubt seen paper• E/845 and E/C.24/SR.26., in lalich t Courcll l • id down rules r la.ting to!!! COllllllisaion reports . or course., in an interim progrecss report there will naturally be no·aaterial under some of the headings 1ri E/845.

FROM: P. R, Judd

SUBJECT: List of Inter-~vemmental Organizations

8 November 191..iP,

There are some developments regarding the commodity side of document E/818/Rev. 1 on which you may find it useful to b~ ;informed.

1. The Inter-American Coffee Board mentioned on page 25 has now ceased to exist. Ho~ever, reference to this and the new Coffee Com­mi sion is made in the "Review of International Commodity Problems, 191..iP,", 'Which is now in the hands of the printer.

2. It is noted that E/818/Rev .1 omits the explanatory note which l-ras given in E/818/Add-l. This is unfortunate and presents some difficulty. In making decision as to organizations to be included in the list there were a number of border line cases such as an International Tea Conunittee. These were in fact omitted by tne position was covered by the explanatory note. One delegation has already drawn attention to this matter and it may be raised with you. If so, you could refer to the note on E/818/Add.l and to the 191..iP, Review which is being published.

3 The Chairman of ICCICA is writing to the Secretary-General of UN in connection with the ECOSOC resolution in document E/1061. The Com­mittee suggests that if proposals are received relating to any of the organizations falling within the scope ot the Committee, it would like to have an opportunity to consider whether, within itB terms or reference, there is any comment which the committee should make. You will no doubt receive offic i al advice on this shortly.

INTERIM GOMM;ISSION FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE ORGANIZATI<.W

32 October 1948

I bav the honour to refer to )"OU1' memorandum 462.-4-l/ AX or 13 September 1948 regarding a Resolution of the Economic. and ·social Council on the simplification or the structure of inter-governmental organizations. Smee ~hat Re olution requests the submission. of the 'Vien of a pecialized. gene! as well aa ot member states, X am. sending 701,1 µerewith,. by direct:1.on of Executive Committee, c nts on those organi-sations listed in the encl.o to your lllemorandum under reference whi an ot particular interest t · the Interim Commission for tm Intema.tional Trade Organization.

i. International. Customs Tar.t.:rr 13tu'eau.

At its Seeo S ssion in Geneva, the Executive Committee or the Interim Commission, having regard to the cl.os connection ot the rk of the Burea11 with the respons:ibilities or the proposed .I.nterna.t1.ona.l. Trade Organization, instructed th cutive Seereta17 to prepare proposals for an arrang~nt tor bringing th Bul'eau under the direct superp.sion of th Intemationa.l Trade Organization. The following are the relevant extracts fran. the record of the Second Session of the Executive Committee:

" (1) On the basis of a detail d exam:;1nat,ion of this probl · u;y- a Worldng Party, t .Ex:ecutive Oamnittee are of the opinion that, 1t the work ot the Bureau is to be maintained withO".rli inter­rupt.ion, the most practicabl,e procedure would b that envisag,Jd in Articl 87, paragraph 3 ( c), ot the Havana Charter. Th Executive Committee there.tore decide

that the EDcutive Secretary be directed., 1n consol.tation with the officials t the Bureau, to work out the details · iif an arrangement tor bringing the Bureau URier the direct superrlsion o.f' the ITO.

. 'l'he arrangement so worked .out :would be submitted to the Executive Committe at it next session am. eventually to th First Session of the Gonterenee of tbe I'l'O. Under such an &rral'.)8► ment., t Bureau uld be financed tram the 170 budget_, at least insofar as those of its Members .......,.,.,...,. are also MEID.bers o.f th ITO are concerned. Such a method of !:i.naneing would relhve Iro Members tram further current contributions t-0 the Bureau. It would, however, leave th Bureau free to collect i'u.ll contribution1 fran other Members "Nhieh were not Membera. o! the ITO, a:nd to· seek the payment of arrears from any M bers llhieh bad not already made uch ~nh.

(2) The Executive Committee believes, however, that at a. later sta it might be .found desirable to look torwal"d to the per-

' l'o ' f the .flDletions or the Bureau by the D.'O itself. Th Executive C ttee decides, therefore, ·

that the \Eltecut:.ive Secretary be requested to take this possibility- into contideration in the eourse of the consul:ta­tions referred. to above, and to report to the Execut.iv C -mittee on 'DOssible means of err ectin at t

transfer of the functions and resources of the Bureau to the ITO under paragraph 3 (b) of Artic1e 87 of the Havana Charler. Under the second stage it might b envisaged that tm

The Eirecutive Committee of the Interim Commission, at its Second Sesai in Geaeva, instructed th Executive Secretal"Y to make enquiries into the work of this Organizaticn and to report on it to the nm Sessicn ot the Executive Committee, haTing regard to the relevant provisions ot the Havana Ch,arter. As soon a.s this report is avail.able., a copy will be com­municated to you far information in relation to the purposes or tm present enqui1'7.

In eonside.,...;ng these organizations, it is presumed that due account will be taken of the pronaions contained in Cha# er VI of the Havana Cba.:rter am or the proposals :in that Chapter tor bringing comrnodi ty organizations into relation with the Intema.tiona1 Trade Organization.

It is hoped that the foregoing iritorma.ticn will be ot assistance ~o the Economic · alXl Social Council in its enquiry, and the Interim Commission will be ba.P.PT to fumish any additional. infoim.tion or assistane to the Council.

My dear Evans,

All the members of the Danish delegation have

been extremely satisfied with the Secretariat's

arrangement during the ECOSOC s ssion . Personally I

have only. one small question which I should like to

bring to your attention • .

I really think that the absence of a document

officer in the Council room (and in the Committ e

rooms) is very r 'e grettable. If, for budgetary ~easons,

it is really impossible to have such an official

present, would it not be possible to

numerous young ladies sitting behind

table to lp the delegates with the ..

Yours ever

(sgd) Finn T.

Mr . A. D. Meurig Evf!Ils, Secretariat of the United Nations, Geneva .

ask one of the

the President's

documents?

NOTIFICATION OF STATES SELECTED TO NOMI ATE MEMBERS OF THE FUNCTIONAL COMMISSIONS OF THE

COUNCIL.

The Council having ren wed one-third of the Membership of its eight Functional Commissions (Item 37) on 17th and 19th August, the Secretary-General should at once inform th States concern d and ask them to communicate to him the nam s of their nominees to represent them on these Commissions.

In addition to th list of election results (E/988 and E/988/Add.l), I am enclos!ng a draft letter from the Secretary-G n ral. This draft contains several blanks: l) th date of lection; 2) the name of the State concerned; 3) the name or the relevant Commission; 4) the date of the appropriate Resolution or the Council by which each Commission was established. With respect to this point 4), I would r mind you that six Commissions, the Economic and Employment, Transport and Communications, Statistical, Human Rights, Social and Status or Women w re set up on 21st June 1946 (see Journal No.29, pages ,26 • 529), the Fiscal Commission on 1st October 1946 and th Population Commission on 3rd October 1946 (see E/245/Rev.l, pages 1 and 3). The fourth space should b filled in accordingly.

The notic from th Secretary-General should in fact be sent to the following States:

Economic and Employment Commission France United Kingdom

~elgium Brazil Poland

Transport India

communigations Comm1ssttn

You will notice that some Stats have b en elected or reelected to nominate repr sent atives on several Commissions. For various rea ons, mai nly of an administrative nature, however, it is thought preferable in such cases to end a separat notice regarding the election or th State concern d to each Commission rath r than one eompr hensive 1 tter of notification.

Since such notifications to States are nommally sent out from Lake Success, and since furth rmore the G neva office has not got th necessary machinery for expediting these matters, would you be kind enough to arrange for these letters to go out through th regular chann ls at Lake Success.

~hose Stats marked with an asterisk were elect d by the s cond ballot held on 19th August. All others were el cted on 17th August.

Subject: P. C. Chang's views re reorganisation of Council's Calendar Commission, etc.

CONFIDENTIAL ,._.,,(.

The following are P. C. Chang's views as to his plan to submit proposals at a subsequent session for the reorganisation of the Council's calendar, etc.

1) He favours one long session of the Council from mid­January till about April with the agenda arranged so that economic questions are concentrated on the first three or four weeks, social questions on the second three or four weeks and other questions on the remaining weeks.

2) He favours one short session of the Council from mid­July lasting not more than four weeks, which would be restricted to receiving reports from agencies and com­missions and preparing reports for the General Assembly.

3) He favours restricting functional commissions, com­posed of governmental representatives, to t he following four:- (i) economic (11) social (111) narcotics (iv) human rights. These commissions could meet at the same time as the Council's long session if necessary.

4) He favours abolition of the regional economic commis­sions but the retention of four regional offices, as at present existing or contemplated, to which offices the Governments concerned can assign liaison officers if necessary.

5) He favours that far.other subjects such as statistical and fiscal the existing commissions be abolished and instead ad hoc committees of experts be organized.

PROCORDIER COPY SEYMOUR EXYATES BUSINESS OF THE

SEVENTH SESSION NOTE BY THE REPRESENTATIVE OF CANADA.

IT IS THE VIEW OF THE CANADIAN DELEGATION THAT THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COUNCIL WOULD BE FAILING IN THE DISCHARGE OF ITS DUTY IF IT PASSED ON TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLM' WITHOUT ADEQUATE STUDY THE SUBJECTS REFERRED TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE FOR THE SEVENTH SESSION OF THE COUNCIL. ACCORDINGLY, THE CANADIAN DELEGATION BELIEVES THAT THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE SHOULD CONTINUE TO MEE? UNTIL ITS WORK IS COMPLETED. IN ORDER, HOWEVER, THAT THE WORK OF THE COUNCIL ON OTHER SUBJECTS SHOULD NOT BE IMPEDED THEREBY, THE CANADIAN DELEGATION IS OPPOSED TO GIVING MORE THAN NORMAL PRIORITY TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE IN THE ARRANGING OF MEETINGS. THE CANADIAN DELEGATION CONSIDERS THAT THE OTHER COMMITTEES AND THE COUNCIL ITSELF SHOULD PROCEED EXPEDITIOUSLY TO DEAL WITH ALL OTHER SUBJECTS ON THE AGENDA, SO '.:i'THAT THEY CAN BE DISPOSED OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, THEREBY RELEASING THOSE MEMBERS OF DELEGATIONS WHOSE PRESENCE IS NOT REQUIRED TO DEAL WITH THE SUBJECTS REFERRED TO THE HUMAN RIGH'IS COMMITTEE. WHEN ALL OTHER WORK IS DISPOSED OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE COULD THEN MEET TWICE A DAY UNTIL ITS WORK IS FINISHED, AFTER WHICH IT COULD RESOLVE ITSELF INTO PLENARY SESSION TO COMPLETE THE WORK OF THE SEVENTH SESSION OF THE COUNCIL. THE CANADIAN DELEGATION IS OF THE OPINION THAT THIS IS THE BEST MEANS OF ASSURING THAT THE COUNCIL CARRIES OUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH BY THE ARTICLES OF THE CHARTER AND BY THE VARIOUS RESOLUTIONS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ARE PLACED UPON IT.
