Webelieve thattheinternational community should nowtakemeasures to strengthen theeffectiveness andstature ofUnited Nations bodies andspecialized agencies concerned withdecolonization. Wewouldprefer toseeanincrease, rather thanadecrease, inresources available bothforthedistribution ofinformation on colonialism, andforscholarships andtraining facilities forthepeoples otthe remaining Non-Self-Governing Territories. Theremaining colonial situations arerather unique andpresent special difficulties. These, therefore, require verycareful thought andanalysis aswell asspecial attention duringthisdecade. Allofusareworking forthedaywhenwe cancomplete theworkoftheUnited Nations intheareaofdecolonization. Unfortunately, however, thatdayisnotyethere. Ourobligation istoendall colonialism, andnotjustitsmostvisible formsandexamples. Therefore, wewilllendoursupport toeveryreasonable effort toassurethat theInternational Decade fortheEradication ofColonialism ischaracterized bya co-operative spirit, thestrengthening ofinternational democracy, andincreased respect fortheequality ofallcountries, allpeoples andallcultures.
