United Nations list of non-self-governing territories

The United Nations list of non-self-governing territories is a list of places that don't have their own government. This means that instead of having its own leaders and laws, these places are run by another country. This list helps the United Nations keep track of places that need extra help. This can include things like protecting their resources and cultures or giving people the right to have their own voices and make their own decisions.
