Special Committee on Decolonization

The Special Committee on Decolonization is a United Nations body dedicated to supporting territories seeking independence. It works with these territories to assess their political status, promote self-determination, and facilitate peaceful transition to independence if desired. The committee also reviews progress, encourages negotiations, and keeps the international community informed about decolonization efforts, ensuring that the rights of peoples in dependent territories are respected and that their aspirations for self-governance are supported within international frameworks.
