This article presents information on the concept of trusteeship. It is opined that trusteeship is not a new idea. It goes back to the seventeenth century when John Locke wrote of all government as a trust. A hundred years later, Edmund Burke, speaking in the House of Commons on the reform of the government of India, declared that Great Britain exercised a trust there and added that "it is the essence of every trust to be rendered accountable." Embodying this idea and carrying on the tradition of the mandates, the Charter of the United Nations established an international trusteeship system.
