Decolonization was also accelerated by the UN efforts against colonialism. UN Charter, signed on June 26, 1945, established the principle of self-determination and provided the basis for its own decolonization push. Moreover, in 1960, the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, through which the UN affirmed that “the right of all people to self-determination” and proclaimed that “colonialism should be brought to a speedy and unconditional end” (UN, 2019). Indeed, the process gained much momentum after the UN’s adoption of this anti-colonial stance.
