By Zoila Palma: Leader of the Opposition Tracy Panton has issued a statement saying that the Opposition “supports this decision to bring the recent threats to Belize’s sovereignty before the United Nations. At this critical juncture, as Belize prepares to make oral arguments at the ICJ, Belize must speak with one voice in defence of our territorial integrity, national independence and the right self determination free from intimidation or interference.”
In addition, the Opposition reaffirms the Prime Minister’s call for strengthened international monitoring.
“The Government, on behalf of the Belizean people, must continue its diplomatic engagement with resolve and transparency while keeping Belizeans informed of developments and the measures being taken to safeguard our nation,” Panton said.
Panton also said that the UDP supports “the position to end immediately unconscionable sanctions being imposed on Cuba and the urgent need to hold Israel accountable for clear violations of international law, including genocide against the Palestinian people.”
Panton says that the Opposition stands ready to work with the Government, in the national interest, to defend Belize’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
