520			_aOn 1 November 1957 the Governing Body of the International Labour Office approved, subject to 2 votes against, with 2 abstentions, that part of the 27th Report of its Committee on Freedom of Association which dealt with complaints against the Government of Hungary presented by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the International Federation of Free Journalists of Central and Eastern Europe and Baltic and Balkan Countries. This approval was given in accordance with the procedure for the examination of complaints alleging infringements of the exercise of trade union rights, which was established by mutual agreement between the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations and the Governing Body. The origins and working of this procedure may be summarised as follows. In January 1950 the Governing Body, following upon discussions with the Economic and Social Council which had taken place over a period of nearly two years, decided to establish a Fact-Finding and Conciliation Commission on Freedom of Association and defined its terms of reference. It also decided to communicate to the Economic and Social Council a certain number of suggestions with a view to formulating a procedure for making the services of the Commission available to the United Nations. On 17 February 1950 the Economic and Social Council, during its Tenth Session, adopted a resolution in which it formally approved the decision of the Governing Body, considering that it corresponded to the intent of the Council's earlier resolutions and that it was likely to prove a most effective way of safeguarding trade union rights. It also decided to accept, on behalf of the United Nations, the services of the L.L.O. and the Fact-Finding and Conciliation Commission. In March and June 1950 the Governing Body at its 111th and 112th Sessions appointed the members of the Fact-Finding and Conciliation Commission, who were chosen not by reason of their nationality but exclusively on the grounds of their competence, experience and impar tiality.
