PEZZANO, Luciano. The Obligation to Decolonize in International Law. Anu. Mex. Der. Inter [online]. 2023, vol.23, pp.141-176.  Epub 27-Nov-2023. ISSN 1870-4654.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24487872e.2023.23.17895.

Based on an analysis of the practice of United Nations organs and the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, this paper seeks to demonstrate the existence of an obligation to decolonize in international law. On the basis of the powers of the General Assembly in the field of decolonization and the manner in which it exercises them, it will be argued that this obligation, which will generally be fulfilled through the exercise of the right of self-determination of peoples, is nevertheless autonomous from it and subsists even in cases of colonial situations in which that right is not applicable.

Palavras-chave : obligation to decolonize; decolonization; self-determination; UN General Assembly; colonialism.
