Not sure what you mean, Richard. You said above that US, USSR, UN had "no warrant from the lands in the area" I pointed out that, yes they did: those lands had recognised ~ i.e. given their 'warrant' to ~ the authority of the UN, including its veto-powered members US & USSR, to allocate the territories, by their acceptance of membership of the organisation and their voluntary participation in its procedures. I reiterate that, when a properly held vote went against them, they did not resign their membership, but attempted to negate its effects by force of arms ~~ for which, I repeat, I cannot imagine why the organisation did not end their membership forthwith.

What other 'competent authority' do you want, for heaven's sake. You are making yourself look ridiculous with this frivolous, pertinacious disingenuousness.
