The UN system which replaced that for mandates, providing for the supervision by the Organization\'s Trusteeship Council of states administering trust territories. A few mandates achieved independence (sense 1) immediately after the Second World War, and one - South West Africa - could not be transferred to the new system as the mandatory power (South Africa) refused to cooperate. But the other mandatories who had been on the victorious side agreed to change their mandates into trust territories; one defeated mandatory (Japan) had her mandates passed to the United States; and the mandatory who during the War moved from the losing to the winning side (Italy) was again put in charge of Italian Somaliland. Provision was made for states administering non-selfgoverning territories to put them under the system, but none did so. As all trust territories have now become, or joined, sovereign states, the system is effectively defunct. |
