We helped to craft these recommendations which became part of the resolutions. Similar resolutions were adopted for all of the territories. From about  the mid-1990s onward, we had become quite familiar with the U.N. process, and had gained a better understanding of the importance of the resolutions which were adopted as a means to facilitate our decolonization ---- CAR Hence, the focus on implementation? CGC Right. We gradually began to raise the implementation issue in our U.N. statements. I was later asked to conduct the analyses on implementation which we discussed earlier. CAR OK, so with respect to those analyses, what were some of the findings? CGC Well, the most recent 2010 study looked at the key recommendations of the annual regional seminars of the First and Second International Decade.
