  11. Why people in Europe and the UK want to bury our history and throw it against us today us disgusting so pkeas delete all you want we even helped create the united nations in the UK and decoloniserd our empires to create our own problems today is someone having a big joke with us in Europe today. Decolonization When the United Nations was founded in 1945, some 750 million people, nearly a third of the world's population, lived in Territories that were dependent on colonial Powers. Today, there are  17 Non-Self-Governing Territories remaining and fewer than 2 million people live in them. The wave of decolonization, which changed the face of the planet, was born with the UN and represents the world body’s first great success. As a result of decolonization many Territories became independent and joined the UN. The international trusteeship system was established by the UN Charter. Affirming the principle of self-determination, the Charter describes the responsibility of States for territories under their administration as “a sacred trust” in which the interests of their inhabitants are paramount Trusteeship Council The Charter also created the Trusteeship Council as a main organ of the UN. It was to monitor the situation in 11 specific “Trust Territories” which were subject to separate agreements with administering States. These territories had been formally administered under mandates from the League of Nations, or separated from countries defeated in the Second World War, or voluntarily placed under the system by their administering Power. Eleven Territories were placed under this system All 11 territories that were once under the United Nations Trusteeship have either become independent states or have voluntarily joined neighboring independent countries. The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (Palau), which was administered by the United States, was the last territory to become independent in 1994. This happened after a plebiscite in 1993, through which Palau chose to have a free association with the United States. The island country became the 185th member state of the United Nations after it gained independence. The Trusteeship Council, which had no more territories to administer, suspended its operations on November 1, 1994. The Trusteeship Council still exists as an organ of the United Nations and meets when necessary
