“Scotland’s political and constitutional status aligns with the established international criteria for recognition as a Non-Self-Governing Territory. The forthcoming petition aims to rectify Scotland’s exclusion from the UN decolonization agenda by formally requesting its inclusion on the list of Non- Self-Governing Territories, thereby initiating the process for Scotland’s recognition as a territory entitled to self-determination and independence under UN oversight.” - Professor Alf Baird
