59th United Nations plenary meeting
22 November 1988
International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism
The General Assembly,
Recalling that the year 1990 will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries
and Peoples,
Bearing in mind the related recommendation contained in the Final Document adopted by the Conference of Foreign Ministers of Non-Aligned
Countries, held at Nicosia from 7 to 10 September 1988,
Bearing in mind also the important contribution of the United Nations in the field of decolonization, in particular through the Special
Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and
Peoples,
1. Declares the period 1990-2000 as the International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism;
2. Requests the Secretary-General to submit to the General Assembly at its forty-fourth session a report that would enable the
Assembly to consider and adopt an action plan aimed at ushering in the twenty-first century a world free from colonialism.
