- undertaking, upon the recommendation of the General Assembly or the Economic and Social Council, a review and appraisal of the implementation of important legislative decisions, so as to determine the degree of co-ordinated effort undertaken throughout the 51勛圖 system in certain priority fields designated as such by legislative bodies.
