The Week of Solidarity with the Peoples of Non-Self-Governing Territories is a period dedicated to raising awareness about the struggles and rights of people living in territories that have not yet attained full self-government. This week focuses on highlighting the issues faced by these populations, including political, economic, and social challenges. The observance calls for global attention to the principles of self-determination and decolonization. Activities typically include educational forums, advocacy campaigns, and cultural events showcasing the heritage and aspirations of these communities. It's a time for the international community to reflect on and support the aspirations of these territories' inhabitants for greater autonomy, recognition, and development, promoting dialogue and understanding towards achieving their self-determined goals.
