The '3rd Force' in the UN & outside it is not a bloc in the literary sense of the word, but rather a group or caucus which convenes when the occasion arises to cooperate in settling internat'l disputes that relate to the Cold War; it thus contributes to world peace. From a neutralist or nonaligned point of view, internat'l affairs after WWII developed in stages: (1) the immediate postwar stage, (2) the period climaxed by the Suez invasion, & (3) the Cuban crisis. At the UN the 3rd Force exercises influence in internat'l affairs far greater than the econ or military strength of its adherents warrant. The USSR identified itself with the aspirations of the nonaligned & neutralist states. Neutralist countries share the endeavor to work for lessening internat'l tension, to support the right of dependent peoples for self-determinism, to oppose colonialism, & to struggle for disarmament & the prevention of atomic weapons. The neutralist states influence the decisions & tendencies of the UN, which in turn influences the destinies of those states which find in the world org not only protection from the dangers of global or local war, but also a confidence & dignity unequaled in modern history.

Es werden die historischen Trends der Gruppenbildung und des Gruppenzusammenhangs sowie der Führerschaft der Entwicklungsländer in den Vereinten Nationen zwischen 1950 und 1960 untersucht. Festgestellt wird eine Differenzierung der Entwicklungsländer in zwei Hauptblöcke, den lateinamerikanischen und den afro-asiatischen Block. Diese Differenzierung, die in den 50er Jahren ausgebildet wird, ist zumindest in der Generalversammlung feststellbar. Ebenfalls werden die jeweiligen hierarchischen Gruppenstrukturen und die Patenschafts-, bzw. Co-Patenschaftsbeziehungen der Länder untereinander analysiert und dargestellt. (BG)

Forty-sixth session: The 46th session of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Executive Board was held at New Delhi on December 6, 1956, under the chairmanship of Dr. Vittorino Veronese (Italy). The Board established a special committee to consider draft comments for presentation to the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations at the latter's meeting on March 11, 1957; it also established a working party to prepare a plan to which member states would be requested to conform in drawing up their reports on "developments and the progress achieved in the field of human rights". Other recommendations dealt with long-term proposals for the future conduct of the UNESCO Institutes in the Federal Republic of Germany and relations with the preparatory commission of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

A notable gap in existing analyses of the United Nations is the relative absence of systematic treatments of the links between the Organization itself and the international system in which it operates. These links constitute a complex dual relationship, both sides of which are worthy of serious analyses. The functions and activities of the United Nations are molded by the fundamental dimensions and dynamic processes of the international system. At the same time, however, the United Nations is itself an actor in the system and it is sometimes able to influence its environment significantly. Throughout the history of the United Nations the impact of the systemic environment on the Organization has far surpassed the impact of the Organization on the system. Nevertheless, the influence of the United Nations on world politics should not be underestimated, especially in its more subtle and intangible forms.

First published in 1950, A Commentary on the Charter of the United Nations presents a collection of documentary material detailing various aspects of the UN Charter. It discusses themes like the evolution of the Charter; purposes and principles; Pacific settlements of disputes; the General Assembly; the Security Council; International Economic and Social Co-Operation; the Economic and Social Council; the International Court of Justice; transitional security arrangements etc. to show how, during the first three years of the existence the organs of the United Nations have applied and interpreted the provisions of the Charter. This is an important historical reference work for scholars and researchers of international law, international relations and international politics and diplomacy.
