ECOSOC over the years. This mandate is reaffirmed the year. CAR How so? CGC Well, one aspect is the call for the development and finalization of programs of work for each territory to implement the mandate. With the exception of - perhaps Tokelau with New Zealand - these programs of work have not been put in place due in part -- but not totally - to the lack of cooperation of the main administering powers. CAR What do such programs entail? CGC    Well, the General Assembly adopted some years ago a ten-point plan to examine each territory on a case-by-case basis. This plan never really got started largely because it required the initial participation of the administering powers to begin the process. When I was in government, we had argued that the sequence of the ten points could be re-ordered so that the analysis of the specific dependency arrangements would be done up front by the U.N. with input from the territories, academics, experts and other sources. This would not have required the immediate involvement of the administering powers whose absence prevented the process from beginning. This suggested approach -- to reorder the steps - might have possibly encouraged them to respond to the findings. This recommended strategy was not taken on-board, however, so every year the resolution repeats its call for this "constructive work program." CAR You referred to a second resolution on implementation ----- CGC Yes, this one refers specifically to implementation of the mandate by the U.N.
