(b) subjection of peoples to alien subjugation, domination, and exploitation;42 (c) armed action or repressive measures against peoples;43 (d) and partial or total disruption of national unity and territorial integrity.44 2.3. UN Mechanisms: Decolonization Declaration and Committee The Decolonization Declaration further provides guidelines on what comes after colonization, i.e., decolonization. Article 4, for instance, calls for an end to the armed repression of colonized peoples “in order to enable them to exercise peacefully and freely their right to complete independence, and the integrity of their national territory shall be respected.”45 Similarly, Article 5 calls for the transfer of all powers to the peoples of those territories, “without any conditions or reservations.”46 Article 5 also specifies that this applies to “all other territories which have not yet attained independence,”47 which is especially important in the case of Palestine as it was under a League of Nations colonial mandate.48 A day after the adoption of the Decolonization Declaration, the UNGA adopted Resolution 1515 (XV) of 15 December 1960, which recommends that “the sovereign right of every State to dispose of its wealth and its natural resources should be respected”.49 In 1962, the 42 Ibid, art 1. 43 Ibid, art 4. 44 Ibid, art 6. 45 Ibid, art 4. 46 Ibid, art 5. 47 Ibid. 48 See Victor Kattan, From Coexistence to Conquest, International Law and the Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 1891–1949 (Pluto Press 2009); Mandate for Palestine (signed 12 August 1922) C. 529.
