History
Colonialism is one of the darkest pages of history. For almost five hundreds years many countries have been occupied, enslaved, robbed of raw materials and of their dignity.
In the last decades of the past century, most of the countries which had been colonized in previous centuries have had access to an independence that in many cases proved to be formal and, in substance, an economic neocolonialism.
This situation has created enormous pain and suffering on a human level and an extremely negative precedent in terms of international relations, by confirming the "law of force" rather than the "force of law".
