Extract

In accordance with a Security Council resolution of April 1, 1948, which called for the convening of a special session of the General Assembly “to consider further the question of the future government of Palestine,” the second special session of the General Assembly was held at Lake Success from April 16 to May 15, 1948. Following the election of Dr. José Arce (Argentina) as president, the Assembly referred the question of Palestine to its political and security committee. A second agenda item proposed by China and Siam, the admission of Burma to membership in the United Nations, was considered directly by the Assembly and Burmese admission was voted unanimously on April 19.
