Territorial autonomy
|

|
| |
States wishing to retain territorial integrity in opposition to ethnic or indigenous demands for self-determination or independence sometimes offer or impose limited territorial autonomy.
Since World War I, there has been an increasing impetus for colonial powers to create limited autonomous regions to change world perception of their exploitation and subjugation of the dominion territory. World pressure for liberation of such colonies has been a central theme with the Atlantic Charter, United Nations Charter, and finally United Nations General Assembly Resolutions 1514 and 1541 signed in December 1960.
