Abstract:Subtitle: The United Nations and the internal politics of decolonization, the termination of the British Cameroons trusteeship. After three U.N. supervised plebiscites (in 1959 and 1961) the U.N.'s trusteeship of the British Cameroons ended with the formal merger of the Northern Cameroons into Northern Nigeria on June 1, 1961, and the federation of the Southern Cameroons to the Cameroons Republic on October 1, 1961. In view of the fact that the U.N's trusteeship system seems to have virtually discharged its primary aim - its self-liquidation - the termination of trusteeship in the British Cameroon is evaluated as a contribution to a final assessment of the U.N.'s venture into decolonization. Notes.
