COUNTRIES MUST BUILD ON SUCCESSES OF DECOLONIZATION, BAN TELLS
CARIBBEAN SEMINARNew York, May 28 2013 6:00PMSecretary-General Ban
Ki-moon today encouraged Caribbean countries to build on the successes
of decolonization, in remarks to a United Nations-sponsored regional
seminar in Quito, Ecuador.

"I encourage you to use this seminar to show how statements of
principle can be transferred into action. Let us build on the many
successes of decolonization," Mr. Ban said in his
<"http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2013/sgsm15056.doc.htm">message
to the Caribbean Regional Seminar on Implementation of the Third
International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism.

"Let us also retool and rejuvenate our methods of work and become true
'enablers' of the decolonization process," he said in the message,
which was delivered to the event by Diego Zorrilla, UN Resident
Coordinator of Ecuador.

Throughout the seminar, country representatives will focus on the role
of the UN Special Committee on Decolonization in advancing the UN
decolonization process. The committee, known formally as the Special
Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the
Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and
Peoples, was set up two years after the adoption of the Declaration by
the General Assembly.

The Declaration affirmed the right of all people to self-determination
and proclaimed that colonialism should be brought to a speedy and
unconditional end. It states that the subjection of peoples to alien
subjugation, domination and exploitation constitutes a denial of
fundamental human rights, contravenes the UN Charter and impedes the
promotion of world peace and cooperation.

More than 80 former colonies, comprising some 750 million people, have
gained independence since the creation of the UN. The 16 remaining
Non-Self-Governing Territories are home to nearly two million people.

"Enhanced dialogue and communication among the Special Committee, the
elected representatives of the Non-Self-Governing Territories and the
administering Powers are essential," Mr. Ban said in his remarks.

In his address to the Special Committee in February, Mr. Ban suggested
that it identify possibilities for change and promote priorities for
decolonization, and the three-day seminar seeks to facilitate informal
exchanges that will inform the Special Committee before it begins its
forthcoming session, which starts on 10 June.May 28 2013 6:00PM
