report named "Settlement of frozen conflicts: legal aspects of
separatist crisis in Moldova", prepared by New York Association of
Lawyers (NAL).
In their remarks, the authors of report - chairman of NAP's Europe
Affairs Committee, professor M. Meyer, chairman of NAP Committee on
UN E. Defies, professor K. Borgin have noted, that the basic purpose
of preparation of the report consists in "finding of the fair legal
settlement of the question there, where the policy has failed".
Authors of the report have come to conclusion, that the non-recognized
"Republic of Pridnestrovye" does not possess the right of
self-determination outside of the state in which it locates.
In their statements, representatives of Ukraine, Georgia and Azerbaijan
have especially estimated the approach to the report from legal
aspect and have emphasized the opportunity of the settlement of
similar conflicts only on the basis of international law.
Representative of Azerbaijan has noted, that conclusions at which
arrived the authors of the report, in present conditions are of
great importance not only for conflicts in Moldova, but also for all
existing conflicts in territory of the GUAM countries. Azerbaijan's
representative noted similar aspects of conflicts on GUAM
space, specified presence in them of the facts of separatism
and participation of the third parties and supports from abroad,
illegal presence of foreigners and, at last, abusing principles of
self-determination. He especially emphasized the conclusion sounded
in the report - the "Republic of Pridnestrovye" does not possess the
right of self-determination outside of the state where it enters.
Then, the authors of the report have answered questions. Answering
question of the representatives of Armenia, professor M. Meyer has
noted, that, despite of distinctive features of conflicts, supremacy
of law is common for all. Professor K. Borgen in his answer, having
listed the basic terms of self-determination of peoples, said that
cession of rights could be accepted as an exclusive variant only with
the consent of the state.
