The 1963 UN Pledging Conference on the Expanded Program of Technical Assistance (EPTA) and the Special Fund was held at UN Headquarters on October 15, 1963, under the presidency of D. O. Hay (Australia). Opening the Conference, Secretary-General U Thant stressed the achievements of EPTA and the Special Fund in the past twelve years. However, he said, powerful social pressures generated by the desire of increasing populations for decent living standards had also grown. Both programs therefore had to be further strengthened if they were to help the emerging nations raise the living levels of their peoples and their capacity for growth.

page 261 note 13 The draft articles, together with commentaries on them, were designated “The Law of Treaties—Part III” and were included in the Commission's report (General Assembly Official Records [19th session], Supplement No. 9, pp. 4–34). At its fourteenth and fifteenth sessions the Commission had provisionally adopted Part 1 (Articles 1–29) and Part II (Articles 30–54), consisting respectively of 29 articles on the conclusion, entry into force, and registration of treaties, and 25 articles on the invalidity and termination of treaties. These articles had been submitted to governments for their observations. The Commission agreed that at a later stage it would consider whether the three parts of the law of treaties should be amalgamated to form a single draft convention or whether they should constitute a series of related conventions.
