Members of the U.N. Trusteeship Council will start their deliberations here tomorrow on the implementation of the General Assembly’s decision to place Jerusalem under international trusteeship.
Meanwhile a conference of non-governmental bodies on migration concluded here today after adopting a resolution urging non-discrimination in migration and appealing to all governments and international agencies to cease discriminatory practices and conform to the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights. The parley was sponsored by the United Nations and the International Labor Office.
Among the major organizations represented at the conference were the following Jewish groups: Joint Distribution Committee; Consultative Council of Jewish Organizations; Coordinating Board of Jewish Organizations; HIAS; Agudas Israel; and, United Service for New Americans.
The conference welcomed a U.N. General Assembly resolution of last December providing for the appointment of a High Commissioner for Refugees, and urged that the High Commissioner’s office should operate in various countries through representatives whose nationalities are other than that of the countries in which they work. Another resolution recommended that children of stateless persons should automatically acquire the nationality of the country in which they are born.
