Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, the process of liberation is irresistible and irreversible. RH/14/sm A/AC~l09/P~:1369 42 (Mr. Wamytan) Accordingly~ the French Government has an obligation to initiate a genuine process of decolonization, making every effort to prepare the Territory for accession to independence: To FLNKS~ restoration of the Kanak people's sovereignty is not negotiable~ The only things that can be negotiated are the means and stages of that restoration.

We would regard any attempt to remove it from that list as a negation of the steps taken up to now and therefore a negation of the fundamental clainis of the Kanak people. We do not want to be the forgotten people of the history of decolonization~ For that reason, we would also like a United Nations mission to come to New
