At the urging of the Fourth (Trusteeship) Committee, the Assembly's South West Africa Committee heard petitioners from South West Africa and an American petitioner, Allard Lowenstein. The "Algerian question" was considered by the Assembly's First (Political) Committee and includes mention of the FLN. The General Assembly passed a resolution recommended by the Third (Social) Committee noting action of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees on behalf of refugees from Algeria in Tunisia and Morocco.
