In this episode of Puerto Rico Open Your Eyes, we examine a question that emerged following the United Nations Decolonization Committee

We explain the difference between the UN's legal authority and its diplomatic influence, examine the historical context surrounding the establishment of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and UN General Assembly Resolution 748 (1953), and address a widely repeated claim that Puerto Rico must first resolve its public debt or meet certain fiscal requirements before the U.S. Congress can consider a change in political status.

Is that a legal requirement, or simply a political opinion?

In this program, we examine the historical and legal facts so that every citizen can draw their own conclusions based on documented and verifiable information.
