Could we, on this basis, assert that the three main French Pacific territories -New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis-and-Futuna -now find themselves in a postcolonial state of existence? If the first two of these territories now figure on the United Nations list of non-self governing territories to be decolonised Two volumes of the JSO (Journal de la Socit des Ocanistes -Journal of the Society of Oceanian research) were dedicated to these two French territories, the first edited by Isabelle Leblic, on the occasion of the 150 th anniversary of the colonisation of New Caledonia (117, 2003) and the second on French Polynesia (119, 2004). As for the territory of Wallis-and-Futuna, this continues to be governed by the law of 29 th July 1961, which transformed this former French protectorate into a TOM (Territoire d'Outre-Mer, overseas territory) (See the special Wallis and Fortuna edition of JSO 122-123 edited by Hlne Guiot and Isabelle Leblic).
