A requisition investigating the demise of previous United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold has prescribed that the UN revive its examination.
Mr Hammarskjold's plane was setting out to Congo on a peace mission in 1961 when it crashed in Zambia.
An UN examination in 1962 neglected to discover the explanation for the complex smash.
The requisition said there were critical new discoveries, and that the US National Security Agency may hold vital proof.
In an explanation, the UN thanked the requisition and said the UN secretariat might study its discoveries nearly.
It said Mr Hammarskjold had given "unparalleled administration to the UN and paid a definitive cost", and that it was "around those generally concerned in landing at every bit of relevant information".
The Swedish-conceived negotiator's plane smashed on 18 September in a woods close Ndola in Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia.
Everything except one of the travelers and team on the flight were slaughtered.
The UN secretary general was set to Ndola to meet Mr Tshombe, who was sponsored by previous pilgrim force Belgium and some Western mining hobbies.
Three examinations have neglected to figure out the explanation for the collision, and numerous doomsday arguments have swirled around Mr Hammarskjold's passing.
Two examinations held in the British-run Central African Federation, which incorporated Northern Rhodesia, were accompanied by an official UN analysis which reasoned that injustice couldn't be discounted.
The Hammarskjold Commission report, composed by four worldwide legal advisors, said there was "noteworthy new confirmation".
It said the case of an aeronautical strike, which may have made the plunge of the plane by immediate harm or by provocation, was equipped for being demonstrated or refuted.
The report said that given the NSA's worldwide screening exercises around then, "it is exceedingly likely" that the radio activity on 18-19 September 1961 was recorded by the NSA and perhaps at the same time by the CIA.
The report said: "Authenticated recordings of any such cockpit story or radio messages, if placed, might outfit possibly indisputable confirmation of what happened to the Dc6."
The Commission said it had made Freedom of Information Act demands to the National Security Archive, which were dismissed on national security grounds - however that a bid had been stopped.
The report reasoned that Mr Hammarskjold's passing was "an occasion of worldwide noteworthiness which merits the consideration both of history and of equity".
