- 06-02-fea.htm quote "The Ulu, or Head of Tokelau, Patuki Isaako, said that when he was told to attend, his immediate thought was, 'what have we done wrong?' He went on to say, 'One can argue that Tokelau is one of the most intensively consulted populace in the world in which children, men, women and even the elderly participate'. The UN, through its Special Committee on Decolonization, also known as C-24, after the number of its members, is anxious to rid the world of the last remaining vestiges of colonialism by the end of the decade. It has a list of 16 territories around the world, virtually none of which wants to be independent to any degree. These include remote Pitcairn Island, with around 60 British subjects, and the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic, which not only wants to remain British, but London fought Argentina for in 1982. Others, like American Samoa and Guam, actively reject any involvement with C-24, while French Polynesia is not even on the list. New Zealand, which made an international issue of French colonialism in New Caledonia, has however become embarrassed over finding itself on the C-24 list. Tokelau, north of Samoa, has thus been put on the track to some kind of autonomy, despite the atolls having no airport or harbor and, Isaako notes, few financial reserves and minimal revenue generating capacity.'".
