Background
In setting up an International Trusteeship System, the Charter established the Trusteeship Council as one of the main organs of the United Nations and assigned to it the task of supervising the administration of Trust Territories placed under the Trusteeship System. Major goals of the System were to promote the advancement of the inhabitants of Trust Territories and their progressive development towards self-government or independence. TheTrusteeship Council is made up of the five permanent members of the Security Council --China, France, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and United States. The aims of the Trusteeship System have been fulfilled to such an extent that all Trust Territories have attained self-government or independence, either as separate States or by joining neighbouring independent countries.
Functions and powers
Under the Charter, the Trusteeship Council is authorized to examine and discuss reports from the Administering Authority on the political, economic, social and educational advancement of the peoples of Trust Territories and, in consultation with the Administering Authority, to examine petitions from and undertake periodic and other special missions to Trust Territories.

Thousands in Asia-Pacific sprint to fight H1N1 – UN The A(H1N1) situation needs to be carefully monitored Over 400,000 confirmed cases and 5,000 deaths from H1N1 flu have been reported to the UN World Health Organization (WHO) as of last week, but the actual number of cases is much higher since authorities in many countries have stopped counting individual cases, Noeleen Heyzer, Executive Secretary of the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), said. “The spread of this disease underscores the importance of ensuring a healthy balanced life style, something that Thailand is known for, as well as ensuring access to health and social services for all,” she said at the UN Day Run, whose theme this year is “Unite to Fight H1N1.” Diseases, she emphasized, know no boundaries. “But they can be stopped by awareness and education campaigns, healthy communities and affordable health care.” Today's event also commemorated the 60th anniversary of the UN being based in Thailand. Currently, 31 UN organizations are based in the Thai capital. “The UN works around the world to make development more caring of our planet and more inclusive for our people,” Ms. Heyzer stressed. The WHO's latest recommendations call for single doses of H1N1 flu vaccine for adults, adolescents starting at age 10, and pregnant women. The agency said that the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization, which advises it on vaccine policy and strategy, recommended further studies in children older than six months and younger than 10 years, since the data are limited. For pregnant women, SAGE noted that studies in experimental animals using live attenuated or inactivated vaccines found no evidence of direct or indirect harmful effects on fertility, pregnancy, foetal development, birthing or post-natal development. “Based on these data and the substantially elevated risk for a severe outcome in pregnant women infected with the pandemic virus, SAGE recommended that any licensed vaccine can be used in pregnant women, provided no specific contraindication has been identified by the [national] regulatory authority,” WHO said in its update.

UN health agency urges countries to remain prepared for H1N1 virus WHO staff prepare boxes of antiviral drugs to treat the H1N1 virus for dispatch to countries [File Photo] “It is completely expected that they will be seeing more influenza cases at this time, and that they will continue to see more,” Gregory Hartl, spokesperson for the World Health Organization (WHO), told a news conference in Geneva. An H1N1 update issued by the agency last week indicated that large parts of North America and parts of Europe are already over what WHO calls the epidemic threshold, so there is substantial influenza activity and more is expected. Mr. Hartl said the indication is that this will become widespread across the Northern Hemisphere and temperate zones as these areas move forward through the late autumn and winter. In a related development, WHO has deployed a team of experts to Ukraine, following a request from the Government, which has recorded more than 250,000 cases of influenza-like illness. “As the pandemic virus has rapidly become the dominant influenza strain worldwide, it can be assumed that most cases of influenza in Ukraine are caused by the H1N1 virus,” the agency said in a statement. The team will begin initial work in the Lviv region, where reported numbers of cases showing severe manifestations of acute respiratory illness have been especially high. While many questions remain to be answered, WHO stated that the outbreak in Ukraine may be indicative of how the virus can behave in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter season, particularly in health care settings typically found in Eastern Europe. Despite concerns about the side effects of the H1N1 vaccine, WHO said it remains one of the best tools available to fight the virus. “It has already been administered to hundreds of thousands of people. And so far we have not seen any severe side effects, and the number of side effects or adverse events, as we would call them, from this vaccine is in line with what we would expect from a seasonal flu vaccine,” said Mr. Hartl. “Remember this vaccine is no different from any other vaccine in the sense that all vaccines will on rare occasions produce adverse events,” he noted, pointing out that the advantages of getting vaccinated far outweigh the risks at this point. As of 25 October, there have been more than 440,000 laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 worldwide and over 5,700 deaths reported to WHO.

Global action plan for prevention and control of pneumonia (GAPP) Authors: WHO/UNICEF

OverviewPneumonia kills 1.8 million children under five years of age every year, more than any other illness, in every region of the world. In spite of its huge toll, relatively few global resources are dedicated to tackling this child killer. In response to this situation, WHO and UNICEF developed the Global Action Plan for the prevention and control of Pneumonia (GAPP). The aim of the GAPP is to increase awareness of pneumonia as a major cause of child death and spur action to deal more effectively with the problem. In this document, WHO and UNICEF summarize the global situation with respect to pneumonia, and point to the need to get it under control in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goal on child mortality. The document outlines a vision, and sets out specific goals and targets to be achieved. It projects the cost of scaling up key interventions of proven benefit such as exclusive breastfeeding, vaccination and treatment of pneumonia, and outlines the priority actions that are required of various stakeholders to ensure progress. The GAPP calls to action a broad coalition of global and national policy-makers, donor agencies and civil society to scale up efforts to reduce the burden of pneumonia and provides guidance on how this can be done.
