(Fourth Committee) (A/68/433)]

Question of Tokelau
The General Assembly,
Having considered the question of Tokelau,
Having examined the chapter of the report of the Special Committee on the
Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of
Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples for 2013 relating to Tokelau, 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 resolutions and decisions of the United Nations relating to Non-SelfGoverning Territories, in particular General Assembly resolution 67/131 of
18 December 2012,
Noting with appreciation the continuing exemplary cooperation of
New Zealand as the administering Power with regard to the work of the Special
Committee relating to Tokelau and its readiness to permit access by United Nations
visiting missions to the Territory,
Noting with appreciation also the collaborative contribution to the
development of Tokelau by New Zealand and the specialized agencies and other
organizations of the United Nations system, in particular the United Nations
Development Programme,
Noting that, as a small island Territory, Tokelau exemplifies the situation of
most remaining Non-Self-Governing Territories and that, as a case study pointing to
successful cooperation for decolonization, Tokelau has wider significance for the
United Nations as it seeks to complete its work in decolonization,
Noting also the status of Tokelau as an associate member of the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,
