The Hague, 20 August 2008 - UNPO has launched "Caucasian Concerns", a paper to brief European decision-makers on the history, political background and issue for self-determination in the trans-Caucasian region. "The conflict in Georgia has shown the need to address issues relating to self-determination through the ascertainment of the international rule of law", states Marino Busdachin, General Secretary of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization.
"With this report, UNPO wishes to bring to the attention of Members of the European Parliament, and legislators around Europe, the possible future hotspots in the Caucasus. We urge European decision-makers to listen to the voices of the peoples of that region, who wish to live peacefully, but cannot do so unless their rights are granted by mechanisms of international legality".
The document titled Caucasian Concerns: History, Political Background and Self-Determination Issues in the Trans-Caucasian Region was prepared at UNPO Headquarters in The Hague and will be presented on 20 August at the European Parliament by Senator Marco Perduca, UNPO Treasurer and co-Vice President of the NonViolent Radical Party, and Radical MEPs Marco Pannella and Marco Cappato. They launch the report before a special meeting of the EP Foreign Affairs Committee convened for an exchange of views with Mr Jean-Pierre Jouyet, acting President-in-Office of Council and Secretary of State for European Affairs of the Republic of France on the results of the extraordinary GAERC meeting of 13 August and the NATO Foreign Ministers meeting of 19 August; to hear a report by Ms Marie Anne Isler Beguin, Chair of the Delegation for the relations with the South Caucasus on her fact-finding visit to Georgia on behalf of the President of the European Parliament and to listen from Ms Eka Tkeshelashvili, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia.
