Chapter 111 of the Report of the Economic and Social Council The Belgian delegate introduced a draft resolution asking that the Economic and Social Council consider the problem of slavery, and the delegate of Lebanon a resolution asking for study and research on the world social and cultural situation. The French delegation tabled a resolution asking the Council to take up the question of establishing international machinery to safeguard trade-union rights and freedom of association. The Committee recommended a resolution requesting the Council to study the problem of slavery at its next session, noting Chapter 111 of the Council's report, and postponing for consideration by the second part of the third session any outstanding draft resolutions submitted in connection with this Chapter. This resolution, however, was not considered in plenary session, and will itself come before the second part of the session. XL FOURTH COMMITTEE : TRUSTEESHIP QUESTIONS Chairman: Mr N.
