FreeFire🔥NewsWire“I welcome deeper engagement with the UN as Bermuda works with other non-sovereign territories to protect against recent actions that signal a renewed push for colonialism by administering powers, ” Premier David Burt tweeted.
The Premier tweeted the photo below, saying: “Recently met the new United Nations Resident Coordinator, Dr. Garry Conille. I welcome deeper engagement with the UN as Bermuda works with other non-sovereign territories to protect against recent actions that signal a renewed push for colonialism by administering powers [UK].”
Bermuda, which is a British Overseas Territory, is one of 17 jurisdictions the United Nations defines as “Non-Self-Governing Territories.”
The Premier just posted this tweet, and we have reached out to his office seeking further information and will update if able; however since we only just asked, if we do update we would not expect to until later tonight/tomorrow.
Update 9.39 pm: In response to Bernews queries, the Premier said, “I think we have seen recently that the United Kingdom has taken actions that are not in line with the wishes of democratically elected local governments.
“As the United Nations are responsible for the decolonization movement through the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization, I thought it would be important to raise these matters on behalf of Bermuda as well as other Overseas Territories,” the Premier concluded.
