Summary
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.
