Macedonian  American Council

M E M O R A N D U M

September 25, 2001, Detroit

We the above mentioned organization from the Macedonian Diaspora from US, Canada, Australia and all over the world, representing over 12 millions  Macedonians , categorically denounce  the decision  of the UN Security Council to pass the resolution  containing the text that  endorses the “Framework Agreement” signed by the relevant parties in Macedonia on August 13-th 2001 in Macedonia and universally Denounced  by our organizations (Exhibit A).

  We hold that in view of the circumstances and the conditions under which this agreement was signed if accepted would represent blatant violation of the previous resolutions of the UN Security Council (1244, 1245), as well as contradiction to the Agreement for Association and Stabilization signed between the EU and Macedonian Government in February this year (Exhibit B),(Examples of violations and more Exhibit C).

Furthermore any attempt by the UN Security Council to endorse a  “Framework Agreement” which is still being reviewed, scrutinized and disputed not only by members of Macedonian Parliament but by overwhelming majority of the Macedonian People is viewed by us as a direct interference in to the internal affairs of the sovereign state of the Republic of Macedonia which is a member State of the United Nations.

  We firmly believe that until and unless the Macedonian People have had un ample opportunity to fully review and debate publicly and democratically this “Framework Agreement”, which by the view of the majority of the Macedonian people is nothing less but complete violation of Macedonia as a sovereign Nation State and democracy and abrogation of the inalienable right of the Macedonian People to decide for themselves the nature of the State in which they will live, any motion on the part of the UN Security Council  will be considered  in violation with the very document  of the Charter of the United Nations.

  We appeal to the individual member States of the UN Security Council to conceder the content of this Memorandum as an expression of the free democratic will of the Macedonian People who looks upon The Security Council of the UN as the highest arbiter of universal justice, rule of law and democracy.
