United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization

The United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization, also known as the C-24, is a UN body focused on aiding territories still under colonial rule. Established in 1960, it works to support the self-determination of people in these areas, helping them gain independence or greater autonomy. The committee examines situations in non-self-governing territories and encourages dialogue between local populations and colonial powers. It aims to promote peace, human rights, and development by facilitating the transition to self-governance and sovereignty for affected nations.
