Abstract:

This is an examination of the case of Puerto Rico in the United Nations from 1953 to 1975. The central proposition of this study is that the 1953 United Nations decision that took Puerto Rico out of its jurisdiction is no longer valid, because, due to resolution 1514 (XV), the United Nations has re-involved itself, but not the extent warranted by the complexity of the issue.

This study was originally presented as a thesis in 1980 for the degree of Master in Science in International Relations at the Institute of International Relations, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago.
