Notes
For details of these and other controversies during this period see Y. El-Ayouty, The United Nations and Decolonisation (The Hague, 1971), esp. Chapters 4 and 5.
It is sometimes held that they are recommendations which should carry a special weight with all member-states: see Rosalyn Higgins, The Development of International Law through the United Nations (London, 1963).
