General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV) declared that all peoples have the right to self-determination and called for colonialism to end. Many newly independent Asian and African states helped shape and sponsor the resolution, shifting the UN’s balance of power. Its language strengthened anticolonial claims, but enforcement remained limited and colonial rule continued in many territories.
