Ban Ki-moon calls for “creative solutions” from UN Decolonization Committee
Creative solutions are needed for the remaining Non self-governing territories if the United Nations is to fulfil its obligations in supporting the legitimate aspirations of the peoples of these territories, said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on the opening of the 2010 session of the Special Committee of 24 on decolonization, G-24.

Disclaimer & comment rulesI have one, get rid of the C-24, as all those countries (with the exception of western Sahara) have expressed a clear desire to continue the status Quo.
Mar 03rd, 2010 - 08:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0The whole concept “Non-self Governing territory”- is laughable as the all the above listed (western Sahara Omitted) have a very generous degree of autonomy.
Pathetic, C-24 is a usless waste of space and from a by gone era, they profess to believe in Self determination, yet they ignored it when it's expressed!
Yep, scrap the C24, its a waste of space and nothing more than a junket. Think of the carbon footprint you'd save, not to mention the forests saved by not printing the crap they produce.
Mar 03rd, 2010 - 01:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hahaha you guys makes me laugh. Why dont we just scrap the UN? now that you act unilaterally on international affairs and conflicts without listening the UN, without negotiating, without diplomacy.
Mar 03rd, 2010 - 07:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We could save more papers.
Not a bad idea Luis, but then how can the world keep the Imperialist ambitions of Argentina under intense scrutiny?
Mar 03rd, 2010 - 08:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I said get rid of the C-24 not the UN, C-24 is a un-democratic and dictatorial mechanism based on relatively little fact and a philosophy of “blah, blah blah not listening”
Surely the only people with a right to decide the future of the remaining countries (illegally and un-democratically placed on this list drawn up by un-elected officials, who have never once set in the territories they decide upon!) are those who live their and those who administer them?
Not some anachronistic dictatorship of 24 overpaid talking devices who couldn't tell their colonialism from their colonic irregation even if it was a massive black cock that slapped them in the face.
never once have c-24 visited the territories they are to decide upon, where the hell is their democratic mandate to tell others what to do?
C-24 demands and bullies small nations into a corner so that the only way they can get of the list is to declare out right independence, even if it is to their economic detriment.
They don't even listen to the parties concerned, Take Tokelau the UN has tried to bully that place into full independence despite 3 UN sponsored referendums they still said no......C-24 solution, we obviously need another referendum!
C-24 is in long need of an abortion......
Only willing people could come up with creative solutios. Here in the South Atlantic, we have a bunch thieves who are so arrogant for even talking. Who are they? “.............Rule Britania, Rule Britania, Rule the waves.......” Get out of here!
Mar 03rd, 2010 - 11:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Jorge, why don't you offer a creative arguement for once?
Mar 03rd, 2010 - 11:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is it any wonder that you are known as the holiest man in all patagonia for the amount of time people here (including your own countrymen) have ripped you a new one?
Thieves this thieves that, blah blah, when you return patagonia to it's original unmolested state pre 1860 we might consider talking to you.
The Argy claim on thievery is at best weak, at the worst hypocritically embarrasing!
And yes Arrogance does unfortunaley come part in parcel with a great country like ours :)
But hasn't Argentina always had a aversion to the old Arrogance gene itself?
180 years Jorge, 180 years, nobodies going anywhere! No longer a colony now, how can they be colonists when they were born there? I don't for the life of me know???
