The General Assembly,
Having examined 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 2024, 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 78/101 of 7 December 2023, as well as the
relevant resolutions of the Security Council,
Bearing in mind its resolution 75/123 of 10 December 2020, by which it
declared the period 2021–2030 the Fourth 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 Fourth International
Decade,
Regretting that measures to eliminate colonialism by 2020, as called for in its
resolution 65/119 of 10 December 2010, have not been successful,
