SUMMARY:Organizational Meeting: CoNGO Working Group on Decolonization
DESCRIPTION:Liberato Bautista\, the President of the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CoNGO) \ninvites you to the \nORGANIZATIONAL MEETING OF A  \nCoNGO WORKING GROUP ON DECOLONIZATION \nThe Working Group on Decolonization will form part of the substantive committee called the NGO Committee to End Slavery\, Colonialism\, Racism\, and All Forms of Discrimination and Intolerance.

The Declaration stated that all peoples have the right to self-determination and that immediate steps should be taken to end colonialism unconditionally. \nThe General Assembly created a list of Non-Self-Governing Territories and a mechanism to assist colonial and occupied nations to choose their future form of governance freely. Of the hundred or so on the original list of NSGTs\, roughly 80% have gained independence and membership in the United Nations. Today\, 17 nations remain on the Non-Self-Governing Territories’ list\, but dozens more peoples and nations are not on the list\, working to exercise their right to self-determination. \nIn 1990\, 2000\, 2010\, and 2020 (A/RES/75/123)\, the United Nations General Assembly issued resolutions declaring each time “the decade for the eradication of colonialism.” Yet\, no new state has emerged from the UN list of Non-Self-Governing Territories since 1986. Tragically\, the UN’s decolonization mechanisms have been virtually unproductive for forty years\, leaving the only means to self-determination and independence: 1) violent armed conflict\, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths\, injuries\, and destruction; and 2) the breakup of larger states (such as the Soviet Union). \nIn 2021\, the UN Human Rights Council passed A/48/7\, “The Negative Legacies of Colonialism on the Enjoyment of Human Rights\,” calling on all United Nations agencies to renew their efforts to end all forms of colonialism. \nThe Decolonization Working Group’s primary activity will be to assist the United Nations in implementing its commitments as expressed by UNGA Resolution 1514 (XV)\, A/RES/75/123\, and A/RES/48/7. \n
