L'époque des droits?
Le mouvement anticolonial prenait de l'ampleur dans le monde, et avec la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme en 1948 par les Nations unies nouvellement constituées, plusieurs personnes ont tourné leur attention sur les droits des peuples colonisés à l'échelle mondiale.
