Extract

The fourteenth session of the Trusteeship Council was held at United Nations headquarters from June 2 to July 16, 1954. At the opening meeting Miguel R. Urquía (El Salvador) was elected president and Léon Pignon (France) vicepresident. The Council accepted an Indian proposal to include a new item in the agenda of the fourteenth session: “General Assembly resolution 751 (VIII): revision of the Questionnaire relating to Trust Territories: interim report of the Sub-Committee on the Questionnaire”, and subsequently adopted an agenda of 18 items. The greater part of the session was devoted to the examination of annual reports on the administration of the trust territories of Somaliland, the Pacific Islands, Western Samoa, New Guinea, and Nauru; a number of questions referred to it by the General Assembly were also dealt with by the Council, which in its closing meeting decided to defer until the Council's fifteenth session a decision on a French proposal that at least one of the Council's annual sessions should be held at Geneva.
