The General Assembly,
Having examined the report of the Special Committee on the Situation with

Recalling its resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960, containing the

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,
Reiterating its conviction of the need for the eradication of colonialism, as
well as racial discrimination and violations of basic human rights,
Noting with satisfaction the continued efforts of the Special Committee in
contributing to the effective and complete implementation of the Declaration and
other relevant resolutions of the United Nations on decolonization,
Stressing the importance of the formal participation of the administering
