International trusteeship system

The Charter of the United Nations states that one of the basic purposes of the trusteeship system is to promote the "gradual development towards autonomy or independence" of the population of the Territory. In fact, the international trusteeship system is a form of administration of the colonies under the name of international management by the management authorities after the Second World War, and it is a continuation of the mandated rule of the League of Nations.

According to the charter, the territories placed under the trusteeship system include: territory under the ruling system appointed by the former League of Nations that was not independent at the end of the war; territory separated from the defeated country in World War II; Territories placed voluntarily under the system. In actual implementation, no colonial country has voluntarily placed the territories it manages under the trusteeship system, and the second category of territories is only Italy's trusteeship of Somalia. Therefore, the first category of territories was placed under the trusteeship system. Since the establishment of the United Nations, there have been 11 territories under the trusteeship system under the trusteeship agreement. They are: Togo, Cameroon and Tanganyika managed by the UK, Togo and Cameroon managed by France, Rwanda-Urundi managed by Belgium, Western Samoa managed by New Zealand, New Guinea managed by Australia, Australia, New Zealand, Britain manages Peru, Italy manages Somalia, and the United States manages several Pacific islands. Since the people of the Trusteeship Territory persisted in opposing colonial rule and striving for national liberation, 10 of the 11 trusteeship agreements have ceased to be effective after Papua New Guinea declared independence in 1975. Some of these trust territories have become separate sovereign states, and some have joined neighboring independent countries to achieve independence or autonomy. The last United Nations Trust Territory is the Pacific Islands managed by the United States. The United States has announced that the trusteeship has officially ended in 1981, but it has not yet been implemented by the end of 1982.
