En virtud de las competencias de la Asamblea General en materia de descolonización y la forma en que ésta las ejerce, se argumentará que dicha obligación, que generalmente se cumplirá mediante el ejercicio del derecho de libre determinación de los pueblos, es, no obstante, autónoma de éste, y subsiste aun en casos de situaciones coloniales en que dicho derecho no resulta aplicable.]]></p></abstract>

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.]]></p></abstract>
