What is International Day against Colonialism in All its Forms and Manifestations?

The International Day against Colonialism in All its Forms and Manifestations is marked on December 14, a UN observance adopted in 2025. The date recalls December 14, 1960, when the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, which helped speed the independence of dozens of nations in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. The day remembers the harm colonial rule caused and calls attention to the territories that are still not self-governing.
