United Nations Security Council Resolution 57

United Nations Security Council Resolution 57 was adopted unanimously on 18 September 1948.

Deeply shocked by the death of Count Folke Bernadotte, the United Nations Mediator in Palestine, the Security Council requested that the Secretary-General keep the flag of the United Nations at half-mast for three days, authorized him to meet from the Working Capital Fund all the expenses connected with the assassination of the United Nations Mediator and resolved that it would be represented at the interment by the President or the person appointed by him for the occasion.
