UN: Beware Dutch deception about Bonaire

H.E. Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations (UN)

405 E 42nd St., New York, NY 10017

Date: April 11, 2023

Subject: Objection to the Netherlands’ appointment of Governor of island Bonaire, Mr. Rijna as Special Envoy to UN

Excellency,

With this letter we Bonaire Human Rights Organization (BHRO) and Nos Kier Bonier Bek Foundation (NKBB), object to the appointment as “Special Envoy” of the present Lieutenant Governor of the public entity Bonaire (a colonial representative of the Monarchy of the Netherlands), Mr. Edison Enrique Rijna. Mr. Rijna has been governor for the last nine years. He will retire and will start working for the Netherlands from April 18, 2023 in the top diplomatic position in the UN for Caribbean Netherlands for European Union (EU) and UN funds. (https://english.rijksdienstcn.com/latest/news/2023/march/27/edison-rijna-appointed-special-envoy)

Kindly note that King Willem Alexander of the Netherlands brought him to the recent Water Conference at the UN (22-24 March) in his delegation alongside the elected Prime Ministers of Curacao, Aruba, and St Maarten, the semi-autonomous islands of the Kingdom trying to deceive the UN that Mr. Rijna is an democratically elected leader. He is not; he is the controversial Lieutenant Governor of Bonaire. This was yet another attempt to manipulate the UN about Bonaire. The governor is representing the King and the Dutch government who appointed him: he is not elected by and not representing the Bonaire people.

Mr. Rijna’s appointment at the UN by the Netherlands can be considered controversial, unethical, a breach of good governance and of the practice of diplomats and values of the UN. Mr. Rijna will be unable to represent the peoples of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba and their interests due to a notorious track record of corruption and links to criminal acts as he was/remains under investigation of the Dutch RST (Investigation Collaboration Team) and the Public Prosecutor. It seems that Mr. Rijna will be used for international deception against its own Bonaire people’s rights to democracy and self-determination. Please see the list below to corroborate these incriminations.:

A. In 2009, Mr. Rijna was one of the three board members of the Foundation Pro Directe Banden (Foundation Pro Direct Link) together with Mr. Evo Angelo Cicilia and Mr. Simon Dirk who were reported by the local and Dutch press to have received over half million guilders from the Dutch political party CDA to corrupt the local Bonaire politicians and to bribe Bonerians participating in elections and a self-determination referendum.

B.  In 2019, as Governor Mr. Rijna breached and violated the criminal laws by causing an accident by driving under the influence of alcohol, destroying property of citizens, driving away after this, and not notifying the property owner nor the police. Only after a day, on the advice of his close friends, to whom he confessed, he went to the police station.

C. Also in 2019, Mr. Rijna went on temporary leave as governor as a suspect in the the Caldera corruption investigation ordered by the Public Prosecutor. Mr. Rijna was interrogated by the Dutch RST (Investigation Collaboration Team) in Curacao.

D. In 2022, Mr. Rijna was ordered suspension for two weeks following a motion by the island Council as an independent integrity investigation and Follow The Money journalists implied Mr. Rijna as the main suspect of breach of integrity in the Chogogo and Sunset Beach case, a corruption case involving the illegitimate issue of permits and breaching applicable zoning laws. This case is still under investigation up to today.

E. In 2014, Mr. Rijna abused his power as Lieutenant Governor in violation of our human rights, to stop a peaceful protest. Human Rights activist James Finies protested for 222 consecutive days for a referendum for the people of Bonaire when Mr. Rijna unlawfully ordered the police to stop the peaceful protest by removal by force, contravening the human right of freedom of expression.

F. At beginning of 2015, Mr. Rijna as Lieutenant Governor and as such head of the police failed or did not follow up, helped to cover up, and did not order an investigation or prosecution of a paid attempt to assassinate Human Rights activist Mr. James Finies when he was protesting. The claims of a planned assassination attempt were substantiated with names of the perpetrators involved exposed in the public media.

G. In 2019, Mr. Rijna abused his power and unlawfully ordered the arrest of Human Rights activist James Finies for the distribution of an information newspaper according to his human right of freedom of expression. With the order to arrest Mr. Finies, Mr. Rijna went against his own written acknowledgement of Mr. James Finies’s notice of a passive action of awareness. Mr. Rijna cooperated with false and contradictory unilateral police-declarations and denied Mr. James Finies the possibility to exercise his human right to a public trail.

This UN nomination as “Special Envoy” of Bonerians, Lieutenant Governor Rijna, is a deliberate action of the Netherlands to contravene BHRO and NKBB awareness missions of the last twelve months to relist Bonaire as a Non-Self-Governing-Territories on the list of the UN in the Caribbean region and Latin America and UN,  exposing the Netherlands’ serious breach of the values of the UN by violations of articles 1, 55, 73 and 103 of the Charter of the UN and resolutions 742, 747, 945, 1514 and 1541 et al. that affirm the inalienable rights of the people of Bonaire to self-determination. It highlights the systematic encroachment of several of our Bonaire people’s international legal instruments: United Nations Charter, United Nations Decolonization Declaration, The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, International Covenant on All Forms of Racial Discrimination, UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

We trust that this information will help shed light, and help stop another historical Dutch move to cover up their continuous heinous acts against the people of Bonaire, as we denounce the motives of this nomination which is under Dutch government duress to maintain our people under colonial domination, depriving us from our unalienable human right to self-determination and decolonization, to be free and equal as every other human being.

With utmost trust in the Justice and Equity of your Honorable Guterres,

Sincerely,

Mr. James Finies, President Nos Kier Boneiru Bek

Ms. Davika J. Bissessar, President of the Bonaire Human Rights Organization

The fall of “Rules Based Order”

“Rules Based Order” means Liberal International Order. That started after the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Click on the following link to learn why that order has now come to an end: https://youtu.be/6Qo0j-rGKFI

Humanity gets closer to democracy, as humanity moves away from the unipolar world order.

The unipolar world order renders democracy inoperable.  

Why does US hate Cuba?

How can people be sure that the United States (US) does not defend democracy and human rights? Please click on the following link for more: https://youtu.be/vUM6tY5n-28

185 member states of the United Nations condemned the US for her over 60 year illegal blockade against Cuba. The US, which often speaks of her so-called “Rules Based Order” however continues to refuse the will of the international community. Right there, the US is sabotaging both democracy and human rights! So, why should we not believe that the US blew up the Nord Stream pipelines?

The US hates Cuba, because she loves to govern exclusively for her oligarchs. That is the only way that 8 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens, while over a million US citizens died due to the coronavirus.

A government for the people my eye!

US sabotages democracies

The United States (US) says that she represents democracy, however she does everything possible to govern exclusively for her oligarchs. Click on the following link to learn how the US constantly sabotages Russian democracy: https://youtu.be/WlXYs-vompM

This is why US imperialism is collapsing today.

85% of the nations of the world are fed up with western imperialism, and are organizing themselves to move toward a deferent brand of democracy that is by, for and of 100% the people.

US’ long history of sabotaging democracy.

Proof that US is a plutocracy

United States (US) Major General Smedley Butler proved in his book “WAR IS A RACKET” that the US is a plutocracy. Please click on the following link for more: https://youtu.be/74wrX8rKtzw

US oligarchs tried to persuade him to help them overthrow President Franklyn D. Roosevelt, because they did not like that he was governing for 100% of the US citizens. The US government refused to prosecute these traitors!

US oligarchs are still in control today of the US government. They are willing to get us into a nuclear war, in order to try to maintain their rule over the world.

Will we continue to ignore Butler’s warning?

We are now running against the Doomsday Clock that is set at 90 seconds to midnight. 

Democratize US “democracy”

United States (US) “democracy” is exclusively for the oligarchs. That is why more than a million Americans died due to the coronavirus, while 8 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens. Please click on the following link to learn how we can democratize the US government: https://youtu.be/Fu7pAsInjd8

US democracy should mean that workers make all the decisions regarding their workplace. That would automatically distribute the wealth of the US more equitably among all of her citizens.

A real government for the people must democratize the workplace.
