1038. Membership of the Executive Board of the United Nations Children's Fund

The General Assembly, Having considered Economic and Social Council resolution 610 B (XXI) of 1 May 1956, Noting that the number of Governments making voluntary contributions to the United Nations Children's Fund has increased steadily since 1950, and has thus far in 1956 reached seventy-eight, Considering that it would be desirable to separate the membership of the Executive Board of the United Nations Children's Fund from the membership of the Social Commission in order to provide for the direct election of all members of the Executive Board, Decides to replace paragraph 6 (a) of General Assembly resolution 417 (V) of 1 December 1950 by the following: "That the Executive Board of the United Nations Children's Fund shall be reconstituted as from 1 January 1957 to consist of thirty States, Members of the United Nations or members of the specialized agencies, to be designated by the Economic and Social Council for appropriate periods, without prejudice to the terms of the States already elected and with due regard to geographical distribution and to the representation of the major contributing and recipient countries". 612th plenary meeting,
