The Special Committee had: dispatched missions to Non-Self-Governing Territories, closely analysed information transmitted under Article 73 e of the Charter of the United Nations, heard petitioners and undertaken other work in the interests of colonized peoples, thus enabling the people of Non-Self-Governing Territories to exercise their right to self-determination and, if such was their wish, to independence.
C'est ce qui a permis aux populations des territoires non autonomes d'exercer leur droit à l'autodétermination et, s'ils le souhaitaient, d'accéder à l'indépendance.
