 | | The UK also reiterated to the Fourth Committee in 1990 that it would respect the wishes of the people of any of its 10 remaining territories, no matter what the size of their population. | | | In February 1992, the United States suspended its cooperation with the Special Committee, claiming that it had focused on an outmoded agenda instead of new approaches aimed at addressing the needs of the few remaining non-self-governing territories. | | | In 1946, at the first working session of the General Assembly, only a handful of members had memories of recent foreign rule: India, the Philippines, and the four Arab countries that had been League of Nations mandate territories (Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria). |

| | Abkhazia |
| | This version of events is strongly contested by Georgian historians (see Lortkipanidze M., The Abkhazians and Abkhazia, Tbilisi 1990) who argue that Georgian tribes (Mingrelians and Svans) had populated Abkhazia since the time of the Colchis kingdom. | | | Modern Abkhazian historians insist that large areas of the region were left uninhabited, and that many Armenians, Georgians and Russians (all Christians) subsequently migrated to Abkhazia, resettling much of the vacated territory. | | | Abkhazia's much-reduced population now has an ethnic Abkhaz plurality of 45%, with Russians, Armenians, Georgians, Greeks, and Jews comprising most of the remainder of the population. |

| | Morocco points out that those territories were obtained when Morocco could not do anything to prevent it and has never signed treaties ceding them. | | | This is particularly worrying for a country whose dependence on imported oil (meeting roughly 80% of Spain's energy needs) is one of the greatest in the EU. | | | Spain claims that Morocco's only claim on these territories is geographical. |

| | Garoeb alleged that soon after African workers in Namibia went on strike early this year, large numbers of laborers from Lesotho and Malawi were brought into the territory. | | | At same time, we believe that UN’s role in promoting self-determination must conform to actions which are consistent with the Charter and enjoy broad support among members. | | | Garoeb charged that South Africa broke the strike by mass intimidations, arrests, deportations, and internments of Namibian workers. |

(The second edition uses the same language.) There is no question that some prominent Southerners believed this, but it is difficult to reconcile that belief with the data. |
