[1] By its resolution 2865 (XXVI) of 20 December 1971, the General Assembly decided that, in accordance with the express desire of the people of the Territories, the name to be applied for the United Nations purposes to the Territory of Papua and the Trust Territory of New Guinea should henceforth be “Papua New Guinea”.

[2] The Trusteeship Agreement for Nauru was submitted by Australia, New Zealand and the UK and approved by General Assembly resolution 140 (II) of 1 November 1947. Nauru was under administration of Australia on behalf of Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

[3] At the time of joining the United Nations in 1960, the name of the State was Zaire, and on 17 May 1997, its name was changed to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

[4] The Government of Denmark sent a communication dated 3 September 1953 informing the Secretary-General that, as a result of the constitutional amendment adopted on 5 June 1953, Greenland has become an integral part of the Danish Realm with a constitutional status equal to that of other parts of Denmark and that, as a consequence of this constitutional change, the Danish Government regarded its responsibility under Chapter XI of the Charter in respect of Greenland as terminated and had, therefore, decided to bring to an end the transmission of information under Article 73 e of the Charter (A/AC.35/L.155 and Corr.1). By resolution 849 (IX) of 22 November 1954, the General Assembly, inter alia, considered it appropriate that the transmission of information in respect of Greenland under Article 73 e of the Charter should now cease.

[5] See also French Polynesia under Non-Self-Governing Territories page.

[6] By the communication dated 30 March 1955, the Government of the Netherlands transmitted to the Secretary-General the constitutional provisions embodied in the Charter of the Kingdom of the Netherlands promulgated on 29 December 1954 (A/AC.35/L.206). By resolution 945 (X) of 15 December 1955, the General Assembly, inter alia, expressed the opinion that cessation of the transmission of information under Article 73 e of the Charter in respect of the Netherland Antilles and Suriname was appropriate. In 1975 Suriname became independent.

[7] Initially administered by Portugal, and under Indonesian control between 1975 and 1999, East Timor attained independence in May 2002 and joined the United Nations in September 2002 as Timor-Leste.

[8] By resolution 2145 (XXI), the General Assembly, inter alia, decided that South Africa had no other right to administer the Territory and that henceforth South West Africa came under the direct responsibility of the United Nations.

[9] In 1963, the Federation of Malaya became Malaysia, following the admission to the new federation of Singapore, Sabah (North Borneo) and Sarawak. Singapore became independent in 1965.

[10] Following the ratification on 26 April 1964 of Articles of Union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar, the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar continued as a single Member of the United Nations, changing its name to the United Republic of Tanzania on 1 November 1964.

[11] By the communications dated 19 January and 20 March 1953 informing the United Nations of the establishment of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, as a result of the entry into force on 25 July 1952 of the Constitution of Puerto Rico, and stating that, in consequence of those constitutional changes, the Government of the United States of American would cease to transmit information under Article 73 e of the Charter (A/AC.35/L.121). By resolution 748 (VIII) of 27 November 1953, the General Assembly, inter alia, considered that, due to those circumstances, the Declaration regarding Non-Self-Governing Territories and the provisions established under Chapter XI of the Charter could no longer applied to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and considered it appropriate that the transmission of that information should cease.
