El BNFA, nuestros clientes, inicialmente le dio al presidente Sata dos meses para firmar el acuerdo de arbitraje PCA que había propuesto, para permitir la resolución pacífica del problema de Barotseland de conformidad con el derecho internacional. Terminado 8,000 Los representantes de Barotseland han firmado el acuerdo de arbitraje PCA hasta la fecha.
Esta fecha límite pasó 28 Mayo 2014, and Zambia has refused to sign the arbitration agreement. This is unfortunate, and it proves that Zambia knows itself to be in violation of international law with respect to Barotseland, but lacks the courage to have its violations of international law examined by a neutral international arbitration tribunal located in The Hague.
Zambia would almost certainly lose a neutral international arbitration, given Zambia’s many obvious violations of the Barotseland Agreement 1964 over the past five decades. It is a shame that Zambia lacks the courage to settle the Barotseland issue definitively, sin embargo, y para resolver esta pregunta de décadas de manera pacífica e ilustrada.
Hemos aconsejado a nuestros clientes que dejen la posibilidad de arbitraje PCA, while other means are put in place to ensure that Zambia’s many decades of abusing the rights of the people of Barotseland comes to an end. The BNFA has therefore left the door open for President Sata to sign the agreement in the future, as President Sata would do if he were capable of acting in good faith.
mientras tanto, hundreds of new Barotseland representatives have stepped forward to sign the PCA arbitration agreement, cuyas firmas se pueden encontrar a continuación, y también en el sitio web de BNFA: https://bnfa.info/.
