Trusteeship and decolonization

Decolonization, based on the General Assembly’s 1960 Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, remained a concern of the United Nations throughout 1987. The main body dealing with the issue was the Assembly’s Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples (Committee on colonial countries). It continued to consider general decolonization questions, among them the implementation of the Declaration by international organizations as well as action impeding implementation by foreign economic and military interests.
