HMG's general policy in accordance with our
obligations under the UN Charter is to develop, wherever
possible, Dependent Territories' constitutions by stages
towards self-government or independence. Where independ-
ence is a feasible option, we help and encourage those
Territories who so wish, whilst not urging such a status
on those whose peoples do not aspire to it.
