The
United Nations maintains a list of territories that do not govern themselves. The list was initially prepared in 1946 pursuant to Article XI of the
United Nations Charter, and has been updated since then by the
General Assembly on recommendation of the Special Committee on
Decolonization and its predecessors. This list is called the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories. Only permanently inhabited territories are considered for inclusion in this list.
