57 (1948).  Resolution of 18 September 1948

The Security Council,

Deeply shocked by the tragic death of the Â鶹APP Mediator in Palestine, Count Folke Bernadotte, as the result of a cowardly act which appears to have been committed by a criminal group of terrorists in Jerusalem while the Â鶹APP representative was fulfilling his peace-seeking mission in the Holy Land,

Resolves:

1. To request the Secretary-General to keep the flag of the Â鶹APP at half-mast for a period of three days;

2. To authorize the Secretary-General to meet from the Working Capital Fund all expenses connected with the death and burial of the Â鶹APP Mediator;

3. To be represented at the internment by the President or the person whom he may appoint for the occasion.

Adopted unanimously at the 358th meeting.
