Challenges to Puerto Rico's Full Decolonization Process

Puerto Rico's limited self-government is hindered by the U.S.'s failure to recognize self-determination rights. Despite voting for Law 600 in 1950, claims of exerting self-determination remain disputed, leading to economic and social dependencies on the U.S. Legislative initiatives for self-determination have not been adequately addressed, and the Independence movement faces long-term official suppression.

  1. The Roadblocks Toward Full Decolonization Puerto Rico’s level of self-government and freedom is very limited since the United States has not recognized Puerto Rican’s right of self-determination Puerto Ricans voted in favor of Law 600 in 1950; U.S. claims that by favoring this law Puerto Ricans exerted self-determination but this has been regarded as untrue Puerto Rico experiences extraordinary levels of dependence on the United States on economic and social arenas; this makes any process of self-determination difficult Legislative initiatives for national self- determination were not seriously examined and generated false expectations that the issue would be soon addressed Another roadblock is long-term official suppression of the Independence movement
