It was established in 1945 by the UN Charter, under Chapter XIII.
Trust territory is a non-self-governing territory placed under an administrative authority by the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations.
A League of Nations mandate was a legal status for certain territories transferred from the control of one country to another following World War I, or the legal instruments that contained the internationally agreed-upon terms for administering the territory on behalf of the League of Nations.
United Nations trust territories were the successors of the remaining League of Nations mandates, and came into being when the League of Nations ceased to exist in 1946.
It had to provide international supervision for 11 Trust Territories that had been placed under the administration of seven Member States, and ensure that adequate steps were taken to prepare the Territories for self-government and independence.
By 1994, all Trust Territories had attained self-government or independence.
The Trusteeship Council suspended operation on 1 November 1994
