ABSTRACT
In 1946 the responsibilities of the League of Nations shifted to the United Nations Organization, but not until 1953 did the United Nations find itself able to acknowledge its obligations under the Slavery Convention of 1926. The Standing Advisory Committee had been asked to consider how the expertise of the bodies which make up the organization of the United Nations might be co-ordinated in order to eradicate slavery. Under the Charter, the six principal organs of the United Nations are: the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the International Court of Justice and the Secretariat. The working group has never been able to rely on other countries reacting in a Mauritanian manner. The more one looks at the performance of the international labour organization, the more one becomes aware of the extent to which its aims coincide with those of the Working Group on Slavery.
