1. Article 77 of the Charter.
2. Article 78 of the Charter states that „the trusteehsip system shall not apply to territories which have become Members of the United Nations, relationship among which shall be based on respect for the principle of sovereign equality.“ The use of the term „territories“ is somewhat perplexing since only „States“ (Arts. 2-4) and not „territories“ are elligible to the membership of the U.N.
