The General Assembly,
Having examined the report of the Special Committee on the Situation with
regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the G ranting of Independence to
Colonial Countries and Peoples for 2019, 1
Recalling its resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960, containing the
Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, and
all its subsequent resolutions concerning the implementation of the Declaration, the
most recent of which was resolution 73/123 of 7 December 2018, as well as the
relevant resolutions of the Security Council,
Bearing in mind its resolution 65/119 of 10 December 2010, by which it declared
the period 2011–2020 the Third International Decade for the Eradication of
Colonialism, and the need to examine ways and means to ascertain the wishes of the
peoples of the Non-Self-Governing Territories on the basis of resolution 1514 (XV)
and other relevant resolutions on decolonization,
Recognizing that the eradication of colonialism has been one of the priorities of
the United Nations and continues to be one of its priorities for the decade that began
in 2011,
Regretting that measures to eliminate colonialism by 2010, as called for in its
resolution 55/146 of 8 December 2000, have not been successful,
