OVERSEAS TERRITORIES REVIEW

Open Letter to the President of the 1st Chamber, Mrs. Broekrs- Knol and the Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, R.H.A. Plasterk, Kingdom of the Netherlands.
PO Box 20017

2500 EA Den Haag
Netherlands.
Bonaire, October 18, 2016

 Subject: Bills 33131, 34341 Public Entities Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba

Dear Minister Plasterk, Mr President Broekrs-Knol and members of the 1st Chamber,

We request your attention to the following regarding your plenary meeting on October 11, 2016:

Your Chamber has proposed on October 25 to vote to continue with the further anchoring of Bonaire (the BES islands) in your constitution. This was proposed on October 11, 2016, exactly one day after October 10, 2016, Columbus Day, which the colonization of American continent started 525 years ago, and now six years after Bonaire was annexed on 10-10-10 without the consent of the Bonairean people .

On December 18, 2015 with 65% No-votes this illegal structure was clearly rejected. If you vote on October 25 in favor, this is a infringement of our sacred self-determination and fundamental human rights, and is an illegal annexation through your Dutch state system by anchoring Bonaire in your constitution.
 
Given your position and role as co-legislator to be independent and must take account of technical legal aspects, especially the relevance and consistency with other laws and certainly not contradicting higher laws, it is now your responsibility to definitively guarantee the rule of law and democracy. 
 
You have to respect the voice and rejection by the people of Bonaire on December 18, 2015 and not to proceed with the legislative process and to anchor Bonaire in your constitution against the wishes of the Bonairean population and international higher law.
 
We would like again to point out that your Chamber and the minister with this proposal intends to:
 
* to violate your own accords in the United Nations,

* to put aside the advice of your own legal experts,

* to put aside your own appointed evaluation committee Spies opinion which stated that there is no constitutional basis to impose the anchoring the BES islands, violating the self-determination and human rights of the humble Bonaire peoples;

* to violate the law and democratic decision of the Bonerian peoples of the clear rejection of the current structure on 18 December 2015

* to impose your dominance

* to infringe and breach your own commitments that you will respect the voice of the people and their acquired rights, etc etc ...

Your bill and intentions clearly point in the direction to legitimize the illegal annexation of Bonaire (the BES islands).
 
This makes the Dutch government nothing less than e.g. the paper annexation of Crimea by Russia, which was clearly rejected by the international community and the now ongoing Syria crisis and genocide with or without the consent of the international community.
 
The same thing happens here on Bonaire (BES Islands) where a conquer and occupy small paper war is going on, namely the extermination policy, genocide of the indigenous Caribbean Bonairean population with paper and laws.
 
Instead of this your Minister and your Chamber must stop immediately with:
 
* open immigration policy;

* the camouflaged euthanasia and abortion practices in the healthcare sector pursuing the systematic extermination of the native Bonerian;

* your cultural imperialism through imposing amoral legislation on the humble believer and Bonerian peoples,

* the invasion of European-Dutch which will neutralize the democratic right of Bonerian peoples on the short term and making the Bonerian a minority, direction cases of Russia and Crimea,

* all possible policy practices that sub-duct the economic strength and aspiration and self-reliance of indigenous Bonerian (eg closing Medical School, regulations by Authority for the Financial Markets, demotivation and segregation of indigenous Bonerian by Ducthification of the education system and policies, etc, etc).
 
In summary, the chamber and the minister are planning to vote on October 25 to officially violate their self-co-signed international agreements and higher international law.
 
Just at this moment in time you have to show an exemplary function as board member of the security-council, but what you have in mind is the opposite; violation of rights to self-determination, human rights abuses, violation of the principles of the rule of law and democracy.
 
We only hope that in due time you will realize that you're violating all the above rights and that you are profiling a negative image to the world and Bonerian peoples.

It is expected that "justice for all" more or less becomes an empty slogan, and that the rule of law is undermined. In this way you allows everyone to defend its own human rights and its political freedom and equality and certainly does not have to take in consideration anymore to keep or respect the law which the chamber and the Minister are knowingly violating.

Yours sincerely,

On behalf of Foundation Nos Kier Boneiru Bek
James Finies, President

    Look at the high-handedness of the Dutch. I wonder if this is the stance of all former European Colonial powers?
    Virgin Islanders, do not sleep with these European practices.
