GENERAL
TERRITORIAL TRUSTEESHIP
UNITED KINGDOM DRAFT OF CHAPTER FOR INCLUSION IN
UNITED NATIONS CHARTER
Chapter
Territorial Trusteeship
1. States Members of the United Nations which have
responsibilities for the administration of dependent terri -
tories inhabited by peoples not yet able to stand by them- -
selves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world,
accept the general principle that it is the sacred trust of
civilisation to promote to the utmost the well-being of the
inhabitants of these territories within the world community.
This objective implies, in particular (i) the economic and
social advancement of the dependent peoples concerned, and
(ii) the development of self-government in forms appropriate
to the varying circumstances of each territory. Further, such
States agree that their policy in respect of dependent terri-
tories, no less than in respect of their metropolitan areas,
must be based on the general principle of good-neighbourliness
due account being taken of the interests and well-being of
other members of the world community, in defence, social,
economic; and commercial matters.
2. For certain territories in each of the categories
mentioned below it is desirable to establish special machin-
ery to ensure the application of the principle stated in para-
graph 1 of this Chapter. These categories are:
(a) territories administered by States Members of
the United Nations under Mandate from the
League of Nations
(b) certain territories which as a consequence of
the present war may be removed from the sover-
eignty of Mandate of States not Members of the
United Nations
(c) any other territory to which the special machin- -
ery prescribed in this Chapter may be applied
voluntarily by the State under whose sovereignty
or protection the territory is administered.
