During the 22nd Congress of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, 31 July – 6 August 1983 in Göteborg, Sweden, WILPF called on the US and other countries acting as administrators of islands in the Pacific, e.g. Belau and the Marshall Islands under UN Trusteeship or still retaining colonies in the Pacific, to grant such islands their independence where requested and to assist with the re-establishment of dislocated communities where feasible.
