Chapter 11. Declaration Regarding Non-Self-Governing Territories
Article 73
Members of the United Nations which have or assume responsibilities for
the administration of territories whose peoples have not yet attained a full
measure of self-government recognize the principle that the interests of the
inhabitants of these territories are paramount, and accept as a sacred trust
the obligation to promote to the utmost, within the system of international
peace and security established by the present Charter, the well-being of the
inhabitants of these territories and, to this end:
a. to ensure, with due respect for the culture of the peoples concerned,
their political, economic, social, and educational advancement, their just
treatment, and their protection against abuses;
b. to develop self-government, to take due account of the political
aspirations of the peoples, and to assist them in the progressive development
of their free political institutions, according to the particular
circumstances of each territory and its peoples and their varying stages of
advancement;
c. to further international peace and security;
d. to promote constructive measures of development, to encourage
research, and to co-operate with one another and, when and where appropriate,
with specialized international bodies with a view to the practical achievement
of the social, economic, and scientific purposes set forth in this Article;
and
e. to transmit regularly to the Secretary-General for information
purposes, subject to such limitation as security and constitutional
considerations may require, statistical and other information of a technical
nature relating to economic, social, and educational conditions in the
territories for which they are respectively responsible other than those
territories to which Chapters XII and XIII apply.
Article 74
Members of the United Nations also agree that their policy in respect of
the territories to which this Chapter applies, no less than in respect of
their metropolitan areas, must be based on the general principle of
good-neighbourliness, due account being taken of the interests and well-being
of the rest of the world, in social, economic, and commercial matters.
