HRLI requests UN to persuade: The Lao PDR to implement a free and fair and multiparty election

/EINPresswire.com/ Human Rights Laos International requests the attention ofH.E Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, President of General Assembly of 66th session and H.E. Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations to persuade:

1. The Lao PDR to implement a free and fair and multiparty election with a "fully democratic electoral system" under international monitoring with a focus on national reconciliation.

2. The Socialist Republic of Vietnam government to withdraw the 60,000 Vietnamese soldiers from Laos. The Vietnamese government's plan to control its neighbouring countries is seen as a violation of Laos' national sovereignty and integrity as a nation.
This plan is believed to be in action as it is currently being carried out by the existing "puppet" Lao party leaders to the Hanoi government as noted in the paper presented at the National Conference in 2007 by Michael Mike, "Vietnam's Tay Tien expansion into Laos and Cambodia" , which outlined the neo-colonizing of Laos.

3/ Abolish the unfair of 25 year Treaty between Vietnam & Laos ( July 18, 1977 )
Article Five: The Two Sides Endeavor to Strengthen Militants, Solidarity Relations & Cooperation
Military, the 25 year Vietnamese - Laotian Treaty of July 18, 1977 allowed more then 500,000 Vietnamese civilians and family of the army to station in Laos. There were more than 100,000 Vietnam troops in December 1988.
In December 1988, the Communist Lao Government announced that all the Vietnam troops had withdrawn from Laos but in fact, there are still more than 60,000 Vietnamese troops in December 1990.
On 11 November 1995 Vietnam signed a new Treaty with Laos to further enhance this arrangement, under the name " Labour Exchange Agreement "
Under the term of Labour Exchange Agreement , Vietnam sent their soldiers to Laos in the disguise of ordinary labourers; these labourers had trucks of their own, in which they kept a wide variety of special weaponry for military action for any eventuality.



Dr Somboun Thoraninh , president of the Lao National Council for Democracy calls upon the international communities:

1. that Laos must be the Fatherland of the Laotians of all edges , including those who have adopted the nationality of their host country ; and the Laotians must have expatriated themselves to flee the Vietnamese invasion must be able to return freely to the country and to keep their Lao origin nationality ,

2. the cessation of all exactions and arbitrary arrests against the patriots who reclaim the liberty , reconciliation, democracy , human rights and multi-party system ;

3. the cancellation all the treaties which were not concluded from equal terms with foreign countries and which undermine national sovereignty , in particular with the neighbouring countries ,

4. the total withdrawal of the foreign forces from Laos under the control of the U.N.O ;

5.the free general elections of universal suffrage with the participation of all political formations inside and outside the country under the international supervision ;

6. the edification of a political regime really democratic and liberal , reflecting the aspirations of the most ardent of the Lao people by a Referendum

Note: The Lao NCD composed of the democratic forces and the representatives of the opposition to all the forms of dictatorship , fights about in for freedom, reconciliation, democracy and human rights.
