Abstract: | 'Trusteeship' is one of the words in the colonial vocabulary which in the course of time assumed different connotations or even conflicting meanings. National and particularly British trusteeship, after sailing parallel courses in the long years of the League of Nations mandates, came in the initial period of the United Nations, 1946-1960, into collision with international trusteeship. The practical indications of policy and administration implied in the two conceptions were brought into confrontation by the politicization of the colonial mechanism of the UN compared with the expertise-like non-politicization of the League Commission. This article explores the repercussions of this confrontation examined from the point of view of the 'internal' development of the system of trusteeship at the UN: What form and extent of influence, if any, had international trusteeship upon the Colonial Powers administration of the dependencies submitted to UN supervision. The discussion centres around the dependencies in Africa, with a special accent on British policy. Notes, sum. (Italian, French). |
