Devonshire Declaration

The Devonshire Declaration was a statement issued by the British Colonial Secretary, Lord Devonshire in 1923 concerning primarily East Africa. The Declaration blocked the move towards self-government advocated by the colonialists, and in its place advocated a policy of trusteeship, whereby the imperial state would protect the interests of Africans.[1]
