Article 74
"Members of the United Nations also agree that their
policy in respect of the territories to which this
Chapter applies, no less than in respect of their
metropolitan areas, must be based on the general
principle of good neighbourliness, due account being
taken of the interests and well-being of the rest of the
world, in social, economic and commercial matters.

Hong Kong
In 1972 the United Kingdom ceased transmitting information on
Hong Kong to the UN Secretary General, following the adoption of
a recommendation by the Committee of 24 at the instigation of
the People's Republic of China that Hong Kong be removed from
the list of non-self-governing countries to which Article 73(e)
applied. HMG put on record that the reason for the United
Kingdom discontinuing to transmit information on Hong Kong was
because no useful purpose could be served by this. It was also
recorded that the action of the General Assembly in no way affected the legal status of Hong Kong.
