Chapter XIII of the
United Nations Charter
deals with the
UN Trusteeship Council
. It guarantees each of the
five permanent members
of the
UN Security Council
a seat on the council (albeit without veto) as well as those administering trust countries, and as many other members elected by the
UN General Assembly
as may be necessary to have an equal number of trust-administering and non-trust-administering countries on the Trusteeship Council. The Trusteeship Council is required to make an annual report to the UNGA on each trust territory. With all territories having reached independence, the Trusteeship Council is basically dormant today. There have been proposals to transform it into a trusteeship council of the
global commons
(i.e. the environment), although
Kofi Annan
recommended abolishing it altogether in his report,
In Larger Freedom
.
