Der Text der Nachricht unserer Kollegen aus Genf: World Citizens Call for a Peaceful Transfer of Authority in the Ivory Coast In a 1 January 2011 message sent to the Missions of the Ivory Coast to the United Nations in New York and Geneva, the Association of World Citizens (AWC) called for the orderly transfer of authority in the Ivory Coast. The message, co-signed by Rene Wadlow, Senior Vice-President and Representative to the UN, Geneva, and Bernard Henry, Press Officer for the AWC Office to the UN, Geneva, stated that. “Citizens of the World have always maintained that for there to be effective means of global governance, the world society must be built upon a foundation of the rule of law and respect for human rights. One important element of the rule of law is open and fair elections which require competent election monitors all along the election cycle. Although the elections in the Ivory Coast had been postponed a number of times, when they were carried out, the election observers considered them fair and carried out without undue violence or pressures upon voters. Therefore, the conclusions of the Election Commission of the Ivory Coast have been recognized by the United Nations and the African Union indicating that Mr Alassane Ouattara has won the elections fairly and should be installed as the legitimate President of the Ivory Coast. The past President of the Ivory Coast, Mr Laurent Gbagbo, who has led his country under difficult conditions for 10 years will honor himself and the will of the people of the Ivory Coast by his orderly transfer of authority to Mr Alassane Ouattara. The Association of World Citizens, devoted to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, calls upon all in the Ivory Coast to respect the dignity of each individual and their protection in this crucial period.”
