ARTICLE 81 OF THE PROPOSED REVISED CHARTER OF THE UNITED NATIONS 
ARTICLE 81 
The trusteeship agreement shall in 
each case include the terms under which 
the trust territory will be administered 
and designate the authority which will 
exercise the administration of the trust 
territory. Such authority, hereinafter 
called the administering authority, may 
be one or more states or the Organiza- 
tion itself. 
Comment. The only change proposed 
The trusteeship agreement shall in 
each case include the terms under which 
the trust territory will be administered 
and designate the authority which will 
exercise the administration of the trust 
territory. Such authority, hereinafter 
called the administering authority, may 
be one or more states or the United 
Nations itself. 
in this Article is from “Organization” 
to “United Nations’ in the second sentence, consequential on the substitution 
throughout the revision of the term “United Nations” for “Organization”’. 
It should be emphasized, however, that this Article may become of great im- 
portance. It would, for example, permit the direct administration by the “United 
Nations itself” of important straits and canals between seas and oceans which 
are now administered by particular nations. If the United Nations should in 
the future be designated as the administering authority for such passages and 
adjoining zones for the benefit of all nations, acceptable solutions might well be 
found for serious conflicts concerning these vital waterways. Similar arrange- 
ments might be made for the administration by the United Nations of the high 
seas and of certain important rivers, the waters of which are of vital concern 
to two or more nations. 
This power to designate the United Nations itself as administering author- 
ity might also apply to the temporary administration of disputed areas pending 
their final assignment to or division between contending nations. 
SEA GUARD ADMINISTRATON UNDER UNITED NATIONS 
Senator Perit. There are a couple of points I wanted to ask you 
about. One is, I did not quite catch your comment on the sea guard. 
You thought it could be worked out or could not be worked out ? 
Mr. Ercuevsercer. I think it can be worked out. 
Senator Prxu. You had a reservation, though. What was it? 
Mr. Ercneirercer. I was simply using it as an illustration to say 
that of course as time goes on, you, yourself, would make some modifi- 
cations and revisions of the treaty. 
It could very well be that the question of a sea guard might come 
under the administration of the United Nations authority, which must 
be set up to direct the licensing machinery. It might not be, strictly 
speaking, a matter of the Security Council, but that is a problem for 
the future. 
LICENSING FEATURE 
Senator Prin. You said the licensing feature should be developed. I 
thought you said that licensing should not be given out to one nation, 
but that it should be given to several ? 
Mr. Ercuerpercer. No, I think you had covered it very well: if two 
nations apply for a license the authority should arbitrate the differ- 
ences. There are various suggestions to implement the licensing feature 
that you suggested. Francis Christy, I don’t know whether he is in the
