In one more bit of referendum news, the National Association of Village Councils which represents over 200 villages countrywide comprising 55 percent of the population has declared a position on the ICJ vote.
A statement says, quote, "our national, district and village council leaders have had an integral and active role in helping to organize the national education process for more than two solid years…We can therefore attest to the fact that this education process has been as thorough and objective as is humanly possible, and we are satisfied that our people are empowered and armed with the necessary information and facts to make an educated decision on the matter.
Having seriously and objectively considered all the information and facts surrounding the question of taking the Guatemalan claim to the ICJ for final settlement, NAVCO is convinced we have an unassailable legal case for the validation and confirmation by the world's highest court. We believe it is in the nation's best interest to seize this opportunity now to bring finality to the long- standing unfounded Guatemalan claim by voting yes to the ICJ." End quote.
