The United
Nations (UN) has one more year to eradicate colonialism. It is in its 3rd
international decade to do that. Why is it taking so long? https://www.un.org/dppa/decolonization/en/history/international-decades
The UN is a
rubber stamp for the nations that have colonies. These empires were the winners
of World War II, and designed the UN so that they could do whatever they want
with impunity.
The United
States Government (USG) lied to the UN in 1953 to get Puerto Rico off its list
of colonies. The USG alleged that Puerto Rico had attained self-government in
1952 by virtue of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. That is a camouflage to hide
its colony.
The UN
celebrates every June a hearing to discuss Puerto Rico’s decolonization. The
hearing is usually on the Monday after Fathers’ Day. Here are some examples to
demonstrate that the UN is dragging its feet!
You would have
expected the UN to automatically put Puerto Rico back on its list of colonies
as soon as it realized the USG’s deception. The UN, despite many petitioners asking
it to do so, has not in 66 years. Therefore, the UN has allowed that the oldest
and the most populated colony in the world is not on its list.
The annual Puerto
Rico decolonization hearing in June is not advertised in the media contrary to
UN regulation to amply inform the public about decolonization. I bought the New
York Daily News, the New York Post, and the New York Times the day before the
2019 hearing in New York City, and nothing was mentioned about it and the fact
that the USG has been committing a crime against humanity by maintaining Puerto
Rico as its colony for the past 121 years! You would think that that would be
news in a city with a Puerto Rican population of 723,621!
The UN does
not regularly broadcast live on radio and television its Puerto Rico
decolonization hearing. Does that help in the eradication of colonialism?
We tried in
2015 to get the UN to broadcast the hearing live, and it ignored us. We decided
to do it ourselves in 2016. The UN apparently didn’t like it, because suddenly
my name wasn’t on the list of petitioners for that year’s hearing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otzBslJLbI0
Various
groups campaigned in 2019 to get the UN to broadcast the hearing live. The UN
consented, however, it did not broadcast the afternoon session: Click here to

Therefore, Puerto Ricans can’t expect the UN to ever decolonize Puerto Rico on its own. Where do we go from here?
We have to
create a tsunami of almost 9 million Puerto Ricans worldwide to engage in
permanent resistance to force the USG to comply with the UN’s Charter that
prohibits colonialism since 1945, and the 38 UN resolutions asking it to
immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans.
Be a part of
the Boricua tsunami, because those who want to have colonies today, tomorrow
and forever don’t believe in LIBERTY AND IN JUSTICE FOR ALL! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1697349163904877/
It won’t
happen unless we push it!
