UN General Assembly
1953

54. After a short transitional period, which must not exceed three years, the Sudan will have to elect a constituent assembly to determine the country’s future. The election will be international in character and is to be held in an atmosphere of neutrality and complete impartiality. The Sudan is to be administered by the Sudanese. The armed forces of Egypt and the United Kingdom are to evacuate the Sudan before the election of the assembly. Once elected, the constituent assembly will take up the task of drafting a new constitution and of choosing between two alternatives: either to link the Sudan to Egypt, in a form still to be decided, or to proclaim the independence of the Sudan.
