SOMALIA 's sword-UN resolution 1803 scares DP world

[maakhiri1]

The General Assembly adopted resolution 1803 (XVII) on the “Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources” on 14 December 1962 by 87 votes in favour to 2 against, with 12 abstentions. The resolution had resulted from the General Assembly’s focus on, firstly, the promotion and financing of economic development in under-developed countries and, secondly, in connection with the right of peoples to self-determination in the draft international covenants on human rights.

In 1952, the General Assembly requested the Commission on Human Rights to prepare recommendations concerning international respect for the right of peoples to self-determination. The Commission on Human Rights recommended the establishment of a commission to conduct a full survey of the right of peoples and nations to permanent sovereignty over their natural wealth and resources, having noted that this right formed a “basic constituent of the right to self-determination”. In accordance with this recommendation, the General Assembly established the United Nations Commission on Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources on 12 December 1958 under resolution 1314 (XIII). In 1961, this Commission adopted a draft resolution outlining principles concerning permanent sovereignty over natural resources. Following consideration of this draft resolution by the Economic and Social Council and the Second Committee of the General Assembly, the General Assembly adopted resolution 1803 (XVII).

Resolution 1803 (XVII) provides that States and international organizations shall strictly and conscientiously respect the sovereignty of peoples and nations over their natural wealth and resources in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles contained in the resolution. These principles are set out in eight articles concerning, inter alia, the exploration, development and disposition of natural resources, nationalization and expropriation, foreign investment, the sharing of profits, and other related issues.

Started digging UN archives... Well, I am sure you will find lots of information mostly nonsense.

The weak government in Villa AMISom will get its hands burnt if they try to challenge this at any level be it at ICT, Arab League or even African Union. 

In fact, it will only hasten the official recognition of Somaliland. At which time, every effort will be as useless as Serbia's Kosovo tantrums.

Serbia, a powerful country, was eventually forced to accept reality.

The bottom line is that, Mogadishu can only save the Union two ways.

1. By force - i.e. Sri Lanka Style operation against Tamil Tigers (IA very remote chance with next to zero success)

2. By negotiated settlement with Hargeisa either to break up or form some kind of unity (the preferred option by the Powers that Be). This option may include a Referendum on the question of Independence, like Sudan or Ethiopia when Eritrea broke away.

I am not a lawyer. But I know the facts on the ground support Somaliland. 

Hassan Khaire mentioned about Provisional Federal Constitution which Somaliland never signed it. In fact, Somaliland never took part in any conference tasked to recreate the failed state of Somalia. Any thing agreed by warlords in South Somalia is only binding to those who agreed it.

Suldaanka lol

Mark my words DP will not develop Berbera many years to come, that is if.

 Not too sure what you mean by develop? If you mean, they will not let Berbera reach its potential - that could be true. But I can guarantee you that if they do not build the ports that was agreed upon and establish the Free Zone - they will get their marching orders. 

After all, they hold shares in a company and that company can be nullified like Djibouti has done. 

[Miyir]

haha who will give them the marching orders? your elected representative are busy setting up private companies in free trade zones. 

Recognitions is blinding you to the facts on the ground, This signing no more then geopolitics and theatre

DP publicity traded multinational company there is no benefit for them for the current disputes, they will just wait and boost to their investors the concession they hold.

From the moment there is even a possibility of that happening, I hope western somalilanders refuse. Dalka ha la sii kala gooyo oo djibouti qayb ha ku biirto. But we all know so much has been sacrificed and it will be a cold day in hell, before that happens. People are not yoyo.

You guys are living in a fairytale if you think there will ever be a union. Kenya is occupying Jubaland, annexing more land and that's nothing to scream about, but a deal in berbera brings the "somalinimo" out of the geeljire. Ma anaa waalan mise cali sabiix ba laga buraanburaya? 

Suldaanku koley waa reer bari. Waxaasu unionka u entertain-gareynaya. 

I predict Somaliland oo kala go'day. Bari iyo galbeed. Barina puntland  iyo somalia ha ku biiraan oo  museveni  ha ka amar qaataan. Reer galbeedkuna djibouti iyo umada Islaamka ah wax ha la qaybsadan. 

 

 

Lakum diinukum waliyadeen...

Waw Policing the internet right! what a beacon of Democracy Somali-land is. 

I always wondered why the reasonable secessionist suddenly drop out/disappeared.

 

Somaliland Guulwade on march.

 

History lesson 

It was done before why not again, last time your current president was Hargeysa's main War lord the west Burco and Sanaag community  capital was Yigoori,  They traded through Boosaaso port and flew through Bosaaso and Galkacyo without anyone molesting or hindering them.

That is what some folks pray for. Particularly a repeat of that tragic and briefly "internecine civil-war" between us in the 1994-1996 period. But it's not going to be happening any time soon, regardless of how much some folks see the "political tiff" between Wadani party and Kulmiye party as something that has the potential to flare it up that "dark period" of our recent past. 

In other words, we in Somaliland came to understand much about ourselves and about our "fault-lines" since then. And how to avoid touching such a clannishly live "electrified rail" (as it were). And no matter how feverishly our enemies prey for such outcome, it's not likely to happen. For we wiser to the "fault-line" and are adapt in swerving away from it in the nick-of-time.

As for the likes west Burco community, particularly the Sanaag section of this community and their "trading arrangement" with the folks of the port of bosaso is concern, all I will say about it is that I do not see any thing that is really alarming about it.

After all whole of the Somali peninsula trade with each other. And in that sense there is really nothing to write home about it. But if you are insinuating that these West Burco folks have less of an attachment" or loyalty to Somaliland as a result of the recent presidential election in Somaliland, then I can assure you that the only place in the world in which such talk is legitimate is only here in SOL.

But out there in Sanaag and Togdheer regions, these folks are essentially still the same "stalwarts loyalists" for the Somaliland cause, as they ever were. Of course some of the political "impostors" (or sheegato) in which we have around this parish that is call SOL, are actually known to spread such "silly rumors" about this "honorable community".

But it's the measure of the desperation in which some of the "impostors" we have in here in SOL are stooping down to. And it actually says nothing else of substance in here other than revealing the level of the "political fraud" on their part (as it were).   

No No No wishes the dark old days of family feuds in Somali-land again, God forbid, breaking up your enclave after all the hard work done is huge setback for Somalia as a whole. 

just exposing how groundless is the fear tactics employed the separatist zealots.

Ducaale being just fanatic, . Suldaanka on the other hand, is pragmatic.Hopefully it will never come to SRI LANKA/Tamil style, Union, or no Union, the end goal is what is good for the people, not what is good for clannish ego.
