Letter to the First Chamber of the Kingdom
of the Netherlands
President of the 1st Chamber,
Mrs. Broekers- Knol and MPs,
The Minister of the Interior
and Kingdom Relations, R.H.A. Plasterk,
The Hague, Netherlands.
Bonaire, October 24, 2016
Subject: Objection to the
first reading and process for embedding, annexation and incorporation of
Bonaire and the BES islands in the Constitution
Dear Minister Plasterk, Mr
President Broekrs-Knol and members of the 1st Chamber,
Through this I draw your
attention to note my previous letter dated October 18, 2016 addressed to your
Chamber and the Minister on the bills 33131, 34341 Public Entities Bonaire, St.
Eustatius and Saba.
Here we warn you that you are planning to; violating the
self-determination rights, violating human rights, violating principles of rule
of law and democracy of the peoples of Bonaire and St. Eustatius, who have
rejected the current state structure in various referendums in 2014 and 2015.
U wordt geacht de
internationale erkenning van het zelfbeschikkingsrecht van het Boneriaans volk te
erkennen en dat dit recht niet toebehoor aan Nederlandse politici en
bestuurders en niettemin aan Boneriaanse politici en bestuurders, maar
expliciet aan de bevolking van Bonaire (en Sint Eustatius) toebehoor.
You are expected to recognize
the international recognition of the self-determination of the Bonerian peoples,
that this right is not accessory to Dutch politicians and administrators
and nevertheless to Bonairean politicians and administrators, but belong
specifically to the people of Bonaire (and St. Eustatius).
Nevertheless, it is your previous
alibi that our people themselves have chosen in 2004 this illegal
status and trajectory. However, the content of integration into your constitution since 18 December 2015 is outdated, so our people did not themselves have chosen
this as they clearly and convincingly rejected the illegal status in a referendum with 50-40 No-vote, representing 65%
of 62% of valid votes.
All previously (i) legal
attempts to legalize this state structure have so far defaulted and had no
democratic or legal basis:
-
Misleading
referendum information campaign of 2004, with voters of minors (16years) and
immigrants with work permits mainly guest-workers without Dutch nationality and
without historical bond and against the advice of the United Nations Mission.
-
Single-handed
destruction of the legitimate referendum-law of the people's representatives of
Bonaire, the Island Council in 2010 by your undemocratic appointed Lt. Governor
Thode and Governor Goedgedrag against the advice of the United Nations and on
unfounded reason because for self determination-referendum voters-eligibility
may be deviated from the local island council election, and that there is
international jurisprudence consists of 20 years of residency to guarantee
histocrical ties.
-
The rejection of
the Bonerians people in December 2010 referendum on the question: "I agree
that Bonaire has become a public entity within the meaning of Article 134 of
the Dutch Constitution" and conspiration and withholding or non-report of
United Nations supervision mission.
-
The complete
rejection and non-participation (80%) of the Bonerian people (and St.
Eustatius) to the 2nd Chamber elections in 2012, which objective was to
legalize this illegal status by voluntarily participation in your democratic
process (without any democratic perspective : 16million Dutch vs. 16thousand
Bonerians)
-
December 18, 2015
referendum rejection by 50-40, 65% of the votes entitled to 62%, no-votes on the
question: Do you agree with the interpretation given to the direct link with
the Netherlands?
Therefore, there is no legal and
democratic constitutional basis to annexing the people of Bonaire and St.
Eustatius and integrating them in your Dutch Constitution, and violating their
self-determination right (U.N. Res.2625, 1514, 1541) and human rights, and I will not respect
nor recognize your decision and hereby I, Serrio James Finies born July 13,
1964 on Bonaire, and the other 5039 no-voters and democratic decision and
rejection of the population of St. Eustatius, formally objects to this decision
of disrespecting and violating my and the peoples of Bonaire and St. Eustatius
fundamental rights.
Sincerely,
James Finies

violashon di derechonan humano, violashon di prinsipio di estado di derecho I
demokrasia di e pueblonan di Boneiru I Sint Eustatius ku den diferente

Ta wordu spera di bo pa

Boneriano I ku e derecho aki no ta pertenese na politikonan I gobernantenan
Hulandes I ni tampoko na politikonan I gobernantenan Boneriano, pero ta

Tampoko bo alibi anterior ku
ta e pueblo mes a skohe pa esaki na 2004, e status I trajekto illegal aki, e
kontenido e integrashon den bo struktura estatal, no ta e kaso mas desde 18
desember 2015, ku e pueblo mes no a skohe pa e stuktura aki, I kla I

balido.
Tur bo intentonan (i)legal pa
legalisa e status aki te ku awor a faya I no tabatin ni base demokratiko ni
legal:
-

2010 dor di gezaghebber Thode I gobernador Goedgedrag nombra dor di bo, I
kontra konseho di Nashonan Uni I basa riba rasonan infunda pasobra den kaso di
referendum di outodeterminashon por wordu desvia for di votashon pa konseho
insular I ta pasobra tin jurisprudensia internashonal di 20 anja di residensia
pa garantisa e laso historiko
-
e rechaso di e
pueblo Boneriano den referendum di desember 2010 riba e pregunta: “Mi ta di
akuerdo ku Boneiru a bira un entidat publiko komo artikulo 134 di konstitushon
Hulandes” I konspirashon I skondimentu o non-raport di Nashonan Uni su mishon
di supervishon
-
e rechaso
kompletu I no-partisipashon (80%) di e pueblo Boneriano (I Sint Eustatius) na e
elekshon di 2de kamer na 2012, ku tabatin komo meta pa legalisa e struktura I
status illegal aki dor di partispashon boluntario den boso proseso demokratiko
(I sin perspektiva demokratiko: 16 miyon Hulandes vs 16 mil Boneriano)
-

votonan- No riba e pregunta: Bo ta di akuerdo ku e kontenido ku a wordu duna na

2625, 1514,1541) I derechonan humano I ami lo no respeta ni rekonose e desishon
