seventy-fourth session today, the Trusteeship Council elected James Kariuki (United Kingdom) as its President and Nathalie Broadhurst Estival&nbsp;(France) as its Vice-President.</p><p>Both were elected by acclamation. &nbsp;The Council also adopted its agenda (document&nbsp;<a href="https://undocs.org/T/1999">T/1999</a>) by acclamation.</p><p>The Trusteeship Council is a principal organ of the United Nations, created to administer 11 Trust Territories placed under the Organization’s care at its founding in 1945. &nbsp;It suspended operations when the last United Nations Trust Territory, Palau, attained independence, in 1994. &nbsp;By a resolution adopted on 25&nbsp;May&nbsp;1994, the Council amended its rules of procedure to drop the obligation to meet annually and agreed to meet as occasion required — by its decision or the decision of its President, or at the request of a majority of its members or the General Assembly or the Security Council. &nbsp;The organ last met on 7&nbsp;December&nbsp;2021.</p><p>Membership of the Council now comprises the five permanent members of the Security Council — China, France, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and the United States.
