UN General Assembly
1948

The present session would be called upon to consider colonial and trusteeship problems arising from Chapters XI and XII of the Charter. The views of the Indian delegation on such matters, which had been pressed at the last two sessions of the Assembly, were well known. Those provisions of the Charter it regarded as among the most vital. India regretted the attempt in some quarters to whittle them down and was disturbed at the appearance of the forces of reaction in regard to which the representative of the Philippines had recently given such eloquent expression (139th meeting).
