Self-governance comes late: the 17 territories where native peoples do not govern themselves

There are still 17 territories registered with the UN as non-self-governing, where the peoples who inhabit them do not completely govern themselves, according to the official definition. The central question the article raises is where these territories are located, who are the peoples living in them, and what are the reasons explaining the delay in their self-governance. The article does not provide additional details about the specific identity of the territories, their populations, or the historical and political reasons that perpetuate this situation of absence of full self-determination. The publication comes as an exploration of these questions, inviting reflection on a phenomenon that affects specific communities in different regions of the world.
