The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC; French: Conseil économique et social des Nations unies, CESNU) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations, responsible for coordinating the economic and social fields of the organisation, specifically in regards to the 15 specialised agencies, the eight functional commissions and the five regional commissions under its jurisdiction.
The Council serves as the central forum for discussing international economic and social issues and formulating policy recommendations addressed to member states and the United Nations system. A number of non-governmental organisations have been granted consultative status to the Council to participate in the work of the United Nations.

The Department of Lands and Surveys is responsible for Land Administration, Surveys and Mapping, Valuations and Titles. The last report adequately covered the history of our land tenure and' it
is not therefore intended to go over it again.
The beacon system : a combined geodetic and boundary survey
This paper is a continuation of a study started in 1963 on major cadastral surveys in the Sudan. Plat agricultural land in developing countries is the main source of economy. It is required that this land be both mapped and demarcated-divided into agricultural plots. However, most of these countries are in a very bad need of reliable maps; some of them have no maps whatsoever. To perform the conventional surveys and maps in order to demarcate the land would be unrealistic in such case.
Le système d'abonnement: combinaison de lève géodésique et de lève cadastral
Les terres agricoles plates sont dans les pays en voie de développement la principale ressource de l’économie. Il importe que ces terres soient à la fois cartographies et divisées en parcelles convenablement délimitées.
Cependant la plupart des pays intéressés ont grand besoin de cartes exactes; certains en manquent même totalement. Dans ce cas, il serait déraisonnable de réaliser des levés et des cartes classiques pour délimiter les terres.
Photogrammétrie numérique et cartographie automatique
A l’occasion de la réfection des cartes périmées ou de l’établissement de cartes nouvelles, de nouvelles techniques automatisées semblent pouvoir rendre d’importants services. L’enregistrement des données numériques, notamment, à partir des photographies aériennes, peut se faire sans accroissement notable du délai de restitution, et se montre ainsi promis à d’intéressants développements.
Report of the African Population Conference
This paper focuses on the report of the African population conference Accra, Ghana. Population prospects in Africa have to be assessed against the background of past and current elements of demographic growth and change. Two major factors fertility and mortality without necessarily neglecting internal migration deserve serious consideration in view of their important relationship to possible future changes in the rate of growth.
