I. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED ON THE REPORTS OF THE SIXTH COMMITTEE
93. Accessions to the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations

The General Assembly, on 13 February 1946, approved the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations and proposed it for accession by all Members. During the second part of its first session, the General Assembly considered a report by the Secretary-General on the state of accessions to this Convention.[1] It is essential for the efficient exercise of the functions of the Organization and the fulfilment of its purposes that the provisions of the Convention be brought into force in all Member States. So long as the Convention is not fully in effect there is danger of confusion, of a lack of co-ordination between the rules applied in various States, and the probability of judicial decisions and administrative acts adversely affecting the position of the United Nations in the country of the headquarters and elsewhere. The General Assembly therefore, Invites Members of the United Nations to accede at as early a date as possible to the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations; Recommends that Members, pending their accession to the Convention, should follow, so far as possible, the provisions of the Convention in their relations with the United Nations, its officials, the representatives of its Members and experts on missions for the Organization. Fifty-fifth plenary meeting,
11 December 1946.
