History

Sweden became a member of the United Nations on 19 November 1946.[1] I konseljen den 17 januari 1947 utsågs Envoyén Herman Eriksson i Washington, D.C. till Sveriges ständiga ombud vid Förenta nationerna. I New York City har inrättats en byrå för att för Sveriges del kontinuerligt följa arbetet inom FN. I årets statsverksproposition har föreslagits upprättande av en legationsrådsbefattning, vars innehavare skulle bli chef för denna byrå. Den förestås tills vidare av konsul Eyvind Bratt vid svenska generalkonsulatet i New York City.[2]
