It was made of the 5 permanent members of the security council ( US, UK, France, China, Russia). According to the UN Website the "the Trusteeship Council is authorized to examine and discuss reports from the Administering Authority on the political, economic, social and educational advancement of the peoples of Trust Territories and, in consultation with the Administering Authority, to examine petitions from and undertake periodic and other special missions to Trust Territory" =The Security Council =  The Security Council is charged with mainlining peace in the world they are made up of 15 members, and 5 permanent members ( US, UK, France, China, Russia ) and 10 rotating members elected by the general assembly for a period of 2 years. They are chosen to represent blocks of the world. To pass a measure you need 9 of the 15 members to vote for a resolutions Included in the 9 members needed to pass are the 5 permanent members who have a veto power, this veto power allowed on of the 5 to block any resolution. The security council’s resolution are legally binding as opposed to those of the general assembly which aren’t =The General Assembly  = = = The general assembly is the main body of the UN composed of all member nations and the 2 observers they debate all issued prevalent to the world today. The assembly works on a one country one vote, however since the assemblies resolution are non binding there is little power. The assembly also contains 6 sub committees they include The First Committee: [|Disarmament and International Security] (DISEC) The Second Committee: [|Economic and Financial] (ECOFIN) The Third Committee: Social, Cultural, and Humanitarian (SOCHUM) The Fourth Committee: Special Political and Decolonization (SPECPOL) The Fifth Committee: Administrative and Budgetary The Sixth Committee: Legal.

The facts that the security council is the enforcing body render the IJC inn effectual because if any of the 5 permanent members or its allies does not obey the ruling of the IJC the resolution to enforce the ruling would be vetoed. In addition there is still a debate over the jurisdiction of the court as several nations in particularly the us does not recognize the right of the IJC and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to try citizens and service members. The congress of the us has actual authorized the us president to use military force to remove a citizen under trial in the Hague ( the seat of the ICC and IJC) <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; color: rgb(3, 98, 130);"> =<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; color: rgb(3, 98, 130);">The Secretariat = <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The Secretariat is the administrative wing of the UN headed by the secretary general they handle many of the functions of the UN and are in charge of many of the departments that handle the day to day functions of the UN they include...
