At its resumed forty-ninth session, in September 1995, in the course of its consideration of the item entitled “Report of the Secretary-General on the work of the Organization”, the General Assembly decided to establish the Open-ended High-level Working Group on the Strengthening of the United Nations System and to include an item entitled “Strengthening of the United Nations system” in the provisional agenda of its fiftieth session (resolution 49/252).
The Working Group met during the fiftieth and fifty-first sessions of the General Assembly. The Assembly adopted the recommendations of the Working Group and decided that the Working Group had completed its work as mandated in resolution 49/252 (resolution 51/241).
