On Thursday, Baku will host an international conference focused on the island of Bonaire, which remains under Dutch colonial rule. The event is jointly organized by the Baku Initiative Group (BIG) and the Bonaire Movement for Change, Executive Director of the Baku Initiative Group Abbas Abbasov told journalists on Wednesday.
He noted that Bonaire plans to submit a draft resolution to the United Nations this October, seeking the island’s inclusion on the list of non-self-governing territories.
“The Bonaire delegation, currently visiting Baku, requested the Baku Initiative Group (BIG) to co-organize an international conference. We agreed to hold the conference on August 22. Before submitting the draft resolution, the delegation will make a global appeal from Baku,” the executive director added.
