Next steps to decolonization - What the UN needs to do - Hawaii & Okinawa
What should the United Nations be doing to help colonized & oppressed peoples around the world? The 51st Session of the Human Rights Council last week convened a panel discussion on Resolution 48/7 regarding the negative legacies of colonialism on the enjoyment of human rights. That, coupled with the General Assembly’s 2020 Declaration of the Fourth Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism may present new hope that the UN intends to reactivate its decolonization process from its 38-year-long slumber. Is this the dawning of a new era? Or is this just noble-sounding talk?
