- A Non-Self-Governing Territory (NSGT) is a territory whose people have not yet attained a full measure of self-government, as defined under Chapter XI of the UN Charter.
- The observance was established by the UN General Assembly Resolution in the year 1999.
- At present, 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories remain on the UN list.
- The current period, 2021–2030, is observed as the Fourth International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism.
- The UN considers decolonisation one of its major achievements, reducing the population living under colonial rule from about 750 million in 1945 to fewer than 2 million today.
