	Select or special committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A select or special committee of the United States Congress is a Congressional committee appointed to perform a special function that is beyond the authority or capacity of a standing committee.
		A select committee is usually created by a simple resolution, which outlines its duties and powers, and its Members are appointed under the rules of their respective Houses.
		A select committee expires on completion of its assigned duties unless it's a Permanent Select committee, such as the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

		The Special Committee's attention was drawn to the extraordinarily complicated situation, in terms of the conflict of laws, that applies in the occupied territories, in particular on the question of jurisdiction, and as the Special Committee understands it giving rise to particular difficulties in Jerusalem.
		The Special Committee's attention was drawn to a particular form of psychological pressure and uncertainty exercise by the Israeli authorities who refuse to return the bodies of Palestinians killed in bomb attacks and other circumstances to their families so that the death can be acknowledged and the body given a proper burial.

	Role of the Special Committee Against Apartheid
		The Special Committee was the first United Nations body to launch the concept of a "campaign" by the United Nations – by calling for an international campaign against apartheid in 1966 and subsequently, after the Lagos Conference of 1977, for an international mobilisation against apartheid.
		The initiatives of the Special Committee in 1963 and 1965 in promoting humanitarian assistance by governments to political prisoners in South Africa and their families were without precedent, and led to one of the most important and worthwhile operations by the United Nations.
		The Special Committee and the anti-apartheid movements must ensure that solidarity work responds to the new situation and is fully supportive of the needs of the forces which are engaged in the battle.
