Why might these forms of cooperation have helped the colonists after they declared independence?

The General Assembly, by its resolution 66 (I) of 1946, initially set up an ad hoc committee "to examine the Secretary-General's summary and analysis of the information transmitted under Article 73 (e) of the Charter with a view to aiding the General Assembly in its consideration of this information" which was composed in equal number of representatives of the Members transmitting information under Article 73 e of the Charter and of representatives of Members elected on the basis of an equitable geographical representation. In subsequent years, the Special Committee on Information Transmitted under Article 73 e of the Charter, later renamed as the Committee on Information from Non-Self-Governing Territories, took over the task to examine the summaries and analyses of information transmitted under Article 73 e of the Charter, including any papers prepared by the specialized agencies, and was dissolved in 1963 (see General Assembly resolutions 146 (II), 219 (III), 332 (IV), 333 (IV), 569 (VI), 646 (VII), 933 (X), 1332 (XIII), 1700 (XVI) and 1970 (XVIII)). 

In 1961, the General Assembly, by its resolution 1654 (XVI), established the Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence of Colonial Countries and Peoples (also known as the Special Committee on Decolonization or C-24), as its subsidiary organ, to monitor implementation of the 1960 Declaration on Declaration and to make recommendations on its application. The C-24 commenced its work in 1962 with the original 17 members, which was immediately expanded to 24 members by the end of 1962 (for more details on membership, see C-24 Members page). Following the dissolution of the Committee on Information from Non-Self-Governing Territories, the C-24 was tasked to study information transmitted as prescribed under Article 73 e of the Charter, pursuant to General Assembly resolution 1970 (XVIII).

Agenda items relating to decolonization are also considered by the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee), one of the Main Committees of the General Assembly. The Fourth Committee considers recommendations of the C-24 and prepares draft resolutions and decisions for submission to the plenary of the General Assembly.
