His Highness
Willem Alexander, Honorable Mr Rutte,
I write this
letter as a follow up on our personal meeting on Bonaire, November 16, 2013 and
following letters communications. Especially my prior letters to your Highness
of June 9th, 2017 and October 22nd, 2017 and July 4, 2018 based on your promise
to me and the people of Bonaire on violations of the United Nations Charter,
Human Rights and International Law by your government of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands.
As your
Highness would be aware of that your promise was not complied with, on the
contrary was broken and your government abusing their power and without any
remorse illegally annexed our people and island by embedding us in your
constitution in October 2017 under unequal rights in violation of all humanity
rights.
As your
Highness may know that the Dutch government recently instructed three main
Dutch constitutional and legal experts Prof. dr. Gert Oostindie, Prof. Gerhard
Hoogers, and dr. Wouter Veenendaal to investigate our organization continuous
allegations and protests, of the violations of the UN Charter on
self-determination and human rights and international law since the illegal
annexation of 10-10-10. The same as I informed you in our conversation in
September 2013.
For your
Highness information these experts in a recent press release and report
admitted and confirmed that our island Bonaire and former Netherlands Antilles
decolonization was never confirmed by the United Nations. (See attached) And
furthermore that Bonaire and the other former Netherlands Antilles islands were
unjustly removed from the UN list when your government gave its own
interpretation to the United Nations Charter article 73. The Netherlands were
incorrectly absolved from its reporting obligations and compliance to article
73 when they implemented the Statute in 1955.
For us as
Bonaire this admission of the truth is a huge step, on the road to the
re-listing on the United Nations list of Non Self Governing Territories. As
your Highness may remember that you questioned me very seriously if what I want
was independence, where I answered to you, no. That I want our people’s
self-determination rights to be restored and respected according to United
Nations article 73.
The world
was misled that we as former Netherlands Antilles were free and equal in your
Kingdom. By this recent historical admission after almost 70 years by your own
constitutional experts exposed that your government since 1954 wrongfully
remains in violation of your own co-signed UN Charter and human rights
conventions.
Recently we
received very disturbing indications that your intelligence service has all my
personal communications wire-tapped. I herewith kindly request your Highness
influence and cooperation to stop the Dutch government immediately from its
illegal practices of violations of my human rights.
I seemingly
became a victim of your government colonial political repressive actions, as
there were three attempts on my life, in September 2012, January 2015 and June
2017 and I was unlawfully arrested in September 2019 all because standing up
and voicing against your government article 73 human rights violations, your
own truths that are now admitted by your own experts.
Finally I
have no other choice to put your Highness Kingdom Government responsible for
any attempt on my life.
We hope that
you as our King, which we all highly respect, will take the responsibility to
do everything in your power to address your government cooperation to return us
back to the list of Non-Self-governing-Territories of the United Nations.
According to Article 73 your government obligations to restore our right to
emancipation and nation-building, our self-government back to our people as
your promise to me on November 16, 2013, and Queen Wilhelmina promised to the
United Nations and the world and the Kingdom signed on June 26, 1945 and
Kingdom Law of July 1, 1863, where we all be equally human and equally free.
With utmost
trust in the Justice and Equity of Your Royal Highness,
Sincerely
Yours,
James Finies
