The Resolution 141 of the UN Security Council on July 5, 1960 recommends that the UN General Assembly , the application of the same year on July 1, independently become East African state of Somalia to membership in the United Nations to agree.
background
Although Italian Somaliland was legally an Italian colony, it was decided at the Potsdam Conference in 1945 not to return it to Italy. Instead, it was made a trust territory under Italian administration by the UN General Assembly in 1949 (1950–1960). The Somali Youth League (SYL), which sought immediate independence, opposed this decision unsuccessfully. In the last decade before independence, significant advances were made through UN development aid, for example in the Somali education system . To commemorate this support, the flag of Somalia is modeled on that of the United Nations.
There were efforts within the Somali population to abolish the division of their territory and to unite all Somali in one state ( Greater Somalia ). The SYL also supported this goal. British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland became independent as Somalia on July 1, 1960. The new state laid down the striving for the unification of all Somali territories in its constitution.
