Report of the Secretary-General on the Question of Palestine

Abstract

This report examines the emergence of independent African nations on the international stage in the late 1950s and early 1960s, a period marked by the decolonization and economic emancipation of the continent. It highlights how the newly independent states recognized the need for collective action, leading to the formation of a continental organization to amplify their impact. The report further explores Africa's pivotal role as a non -aligned actor during the Cold War, actively pursuing a policy to avoid ideological entanglement while combating imperialism, colonialism, and racism. It emphasizes Africa's significant contributions to the Non Aligned Movement and its commitment to the principles of the United Nations, particularly in promoting international peace, security, and equitable resource distribution, ultimately aiming to democratize international relations and shape a new global order.
