C-24 regional seminars

Since the 1990s, the Special Committee on Decolonization (C-24) has been organizing regional seminars, alternately in the Caribbean and the Pacific, to review the progress achieved in the implementation of the Plan of Action for the International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism. In a series of its resolutions on the implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, the General Assembly requested the C-24 "conduct seminars, as appropriate, for the purpose of receiving and disseminating information on the work of the Special Committee, and to facilitate participation by the peoples of the Non-Self-Governing Territories in those seminars" (see?most recently in its , para. 8 (f)).

The purpose of the regional seminars is to enable the C-24 to obtain the views of representatives of the Non-Self-Governing Territories, experts, members of the civil society,?Member States and other stakeholders that can assist the C-24 in identifying policy approaches and practical means that can be pursued in the United Nations decolonization process. The discussions at the seminar are expected to assist the Special Committee in making a realistic analysis and evaluation of the situation in the Non-Self-Governing Territories, on a case-by-case basis, as well as the ways in which the United Nations system and the international community at large could enhance programmes of assistance to the Territories.

The final report of the regional seminar each year is available in the C-24 annual report of that year.
