The four powers held authority to dispose of Italy’s former colonies.

Evidence

The Treaty of Peace with Italy provided for the disposal of the former Italian colonies of Somalia, Eritrea, and Libya. How they were to be disposed of was to be determined by an agreement between the governments of the United Kingdom, United States, USSR, and France. The treaty also stipulated that if the four powers failed to agree, then they would refer the matter to the UN General Assembly for recommendation. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 1208
