  • [01] CHOGM 2007 - JOINT COMMUNIQUE - CYPRUS PROBLEM

    The Commonwealth Heads of Government stressed the need here Sunday for the implementation of the July 8th July Agreement without delay and without preconditions.

    In their paragraph on Cyprus which is included in the joint communique approved on Sunday, last day of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting held in Kampala, Uganda, the heads of government also agreed on the importance of supporting the efforts of the UN Secretary General to bring about a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem in line with relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.

    Furthermore, they expressed their support for a lasting, just and functional settlement based on the principles of the United Nations Charter, the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the principles of the Commonwealth.

    The Commonwealth Heads of Government reiterated their support for the respect of human rights of all Cypriots, including the right to property, the implementation of the relevant resolutions of the European Court of Human Rights and for the accounting for all missing persons.

    In a statement to CNA, Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos has described as satisfactory the reference to Cyprus in the resolution of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.

    The paragraph on Cyprus in the joint communique is as follows:

    ``Reaffirming their previous Communiques on Cyprus, Heads of Government expressed their support for the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and unity of the Republic of Cyprus. They expressed their support for a lasting, just and functional settlement based on the principles of the United Nations Charter, the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the principles of the Commonwealth.

    Heads of Government called for the implementation of UN Security Council Resolutions on Cyprus, in particular Security Council Resolutions 365 (1974), 541 (1983), 550 (1984), 1250 (1999) and all subsequent resolutions. They reiterated their support for the respect of human rights of all Cypriots, including the right to property, the implementation of the relevant resolutions of the European Court of Human Rights and for the accounting for all missing persons.

    Heads of Government further agreed on the importance of supporting the efforts of the UN Secretary General to bring about a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem in line with relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.

    Heads of Government welcomed the principles and decisions enshrined in the 8 July Agreement and stressed the need to start the process as described in UN Under-Secretary General Gambari`s letter of 15 November 2006, without delay and without preconditions, in order to prepare the ground for full-fledged negotiations, leading to a comprehensive and durable settlement``.

    [02] CHOGM 2007 - CLIMATE CHANGES

    Commonwealth Heads of State and Government, who are meeting in Kampala, Uganda, have reaffirmed their commitment and support to the decisions taken by CHOGM 2005 held in Malta.

    Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos told reporters on the sidelines of CHOGM 2007 deliberations at the Munyonyo Resort that the leaders discussed the climate changes in view of the Bali Conference in December, expressing the view that the Commonwealth should have a voice on climate issues.

    They also examined globalisation and the debt of the small Commonwealth countries and how to support them.

    President Papadopoulos said there was also a discussion on the progress done on the Malta CHOGM 2005 decisions and these concern membership of the Commonwealth and promotion of tolerance and respect.
