About the Third International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism
Military , Civil Rights
Ends: Dec 31, 2020
DESCRIPTION:
Colonialism still exists to this day, and over 8 million people in 17 “non-self-governing territories” across the globe still live under it. Palestine and the West Sahara continue to exist under the most oppressive colonial regimes.
The top two current colonizers in the world are the United Kingdom, with ten colonies, followed by the United States and France, with two each. (Technically, the United States has 16 territories under its control, with two disputed; as most include self-rule and US citizenship, they aren't considered colonies).
Colonialism occurs when one group of people moves into a land occupied by another group of people and proceeds to control it politically, militarily, economically, and culturally. The legal definition differs from a territory or protectorate.
People who are under brutal colonial rule include
Palestine (West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights)
Western Sahara
The following territories and protectorates can be thought of as colonies.
Anguilla
Bermuda
British Virgin Islands
Cayman Islands
Falkland Islands
Montserrat
Saint Helena
Turks and Caicos Islands
United States Virgin Islands
Gibraltar
American Samoa
French Polynesia
Guam
