The United Nations Trusteeship Council
The
Trusteeship Council suspended its work following the release of the last of
eleven trust territories (Palau) into independence on 1st October 1994. Despite
this, the corresponding chapters in the
UN Charter (Chapters
XII and XIII) have not been deleted. Deliberations have taken place concerning
entrusting the organ with a new set of functions, such as the administration of failed
states, but this has not taken place to-date.
