The United Nations Decolonization Committee

The United Nations Decolonization Committee is a special body created to support the process of ending colonial rule and helping territories move toward self-governance or independence. It reviews the status of colonies, promotes political, economic, and social progress, and encourages peaceful, voluntary transitions. Its goal is to ensure that peoples under colonial rule can freely determine their future, respecting their rights to self-determination. The committee works in partnership with territories and nations to facilitate decolonization in a fair and orderly manner, promoting global stability and respect for sovereignty.
