Non-Self-Governing Territories
Non-Self-Governing Territories are regions that do not have full independence or self-government. These areas are typically administered by a foreign power, meaning they lack the ability to make significant political decisions independently. The United Nations classifies these territories and encourages the administering countries to promote self-determination for the inhabitants. Examples include places like Guam and the Falkland Islands. The goal for these territories is to eventually achieve greater autonomy or full independence, allowing the local population to govern themselves more effectively.
