Headline Assembly Sets up Machinery to Deal with Global Environmental Problems, Asks Israeli Practices Committee to Continue Its Work

Caption Description The General Assembly this afternoon took action to deal with the global problems of the human environment, establishing permanent U.N. organs and a new environment secretariat, to be located in Nairobi, Kenya, with Maurice F. Strong as its Executive Director. On other matters, the Assembly asked the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Population of the Occupied Territories to continue its work.
Delegates are seen depositing their ballots for the election of members of the Governing Council for Environmental Programmes. The General Assembly established a 58-member Governing Council for Environmental Programmes, elected according to a specified geographical formula, to promote international cooperation in this field and to provide general policy guidance for the direction and coordination of environmental programmes within the U.N. system.
