At the fifty-first session of the General Assembly, the Sixth (Legal) Committee reviewed the annual reports of the International Law Commission (ILC), the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), the Special Committee on the Charter of the United Nations and on the Strengthening of the Role of the Organization (Special Committee) and the Committee on Relations with the Host Country (Host Country Committee). The Sixth Committee also considered proposals for two new legal instruments relating to (1) the establishment of a permanent international criminal court, and (2) the non-navigational uses of international watercourses, as well as other topics concerning international terrorism, international humanitarian law, diplomatic and consular law, the United Nations internal justice system, the United Nations Decade of International Law (Decade) and the “New International Economic Order.” The topics are discussed in the order in which they were considered by the committee.

First Session

I wish to thank the Organizing Committee members who planned and organized this Joint Discussion - Professor Fowler, who will preside this afternoon, Dr Hearn, Dr Reeves, Professor Tayler, Professor Underhill, Professor Wallerstein, and Professor Mathis, who has consented to edit the published proceedings.We feel we have assembled a team of the world’s greatest experts on the helium problem, and we know that there are many other even greater experts in the audience. The general idea of the program is that the first session will be devoted to deductions about what the abundance (or abundances) of helium is (or are) in various objects, and the second session to what these abundances imply about stellar, galactic, or universal evolution. We very much want to encourage discussion and the presentation of new results following each review paper.It is particularly appropriate to discuss helium at this IAU General Assembly in England, as this element was discovered in 1868 by Sir Norman Lockyer, who measured λ5876 in the spectrum of the chromosphere, and realized that none of the then known elements could produce it. Helium is thus a real British astronomical element. Furthermore, helium was first identified on the Earth by Sir William Ramsay, who observed the same line in the gas obtained from uranium, and thus showed it was a terrestrial element too.
