Sixty years after the UN General Assembly first called for a peaceful resolution, the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas Islands (Falkland Islands) and surrounding territories remains unresolved, highlighting an unfinished decolonization challenge.

• The United Kingdom has occupied the Malvinas Islands since 1833, an act Argentina has continuously protested.
• The UN General Assembly Resolution 2065 (XX) in 1965 acknowledged a sovereignty dispute and urged negotiation between Argentina and the UK.
• The UN Special Committee on Decolonisation (C-24), including seven African members, recently adopted a resolution urging the resumption of negotiations.
