The mechanisms established to administer the Non-Self-Governing Territories, the Permanent Mandates Commission within the League of Nations and the UN Trusteeship Council, were largely similar in their functions, subsidiary bodies and mandates. Their ultimate goal was declared as a desire for the independence of the former colonial peoples and the creation of national institutions of power. At the same time, being under the actual control of the former metropolises, none of these two bodies directly contributed to obtaining self-government. Continuous discussions and transfer of mandated territories under external control by new mandate holders, who continued to extract income and bring the peoples living in these territories to internecine wars, did not ensure the independence of the former colonies. Most of the developing countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East have come a long way towards independence. First, the colonies, then the mandated and trust territories, after the bloody wars for gaining independence, they became the main opponents of the colonial system. At the same time, since the drawing of borders was carried out arbitrarily by the governing countries, most of the current conflicts, mainly in Africa, originate from non-self-government.
