1. ORGANISATION: f) THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS COMISSIONS

The League's agencies which were created to solve major problems were:

  • The Mandates Commission was made to control how people on mandates (colonies of Germany and its allies which ended up as League's mandates ruled by Britain or France) were being treated and to make sure that Britain or France acted in the interests of the people of that territory, not its own interests. 
  • The Refugees Committee was created to help refugees (people who had fled from the areas of conflict at the First World War) to return to their homes, or help them to settle and find work in new countries. 
  • The Slavery Commission worked to abolish slavery around the world. (And there were also many workers who weren't technically slaves, but were treated like slaves).
  • The Health Committee attempted to deal with dangerous diseases and to educate people about health and sanitation. It worked with charities and many other independent agencies to collect statistics about health issues, to spread the new ideas and to develop programmes to fight desease.
