Resolution regarding Cyprus

20. Oktober 2007

The 14th congress of the International Federation of the Resistance Fighters
(FIR) which took place in Athens October 19-20, 2007

• Reemphasizes that the sole foundation for the preservation of peace and
  security worldwide is compliance with the principles of the United Nations
  Charter, the Declarations of Human Rights and the fundamental rights.
• Deplores regional conflicts in conjunction with foreign interventions
  experienced by the international community which explicitly violate the
  aforementioned principles and which do not realise the decisions of the
  Security Council of the United Nations.
• Calls upon the FIR member organisations to urge their respective governments
  to efficiently support efforts to overcome regional conflicts and continuing
  problems – among others problems in Cyprus – by implementation of the decisions
  of the United Nations Security Council for peaceful solutions based upon
  appreciation of international laws and the primacy of human rights and
  fundamental rights.
• Requests the Secretary of the Executive Committee of FIR to urge the United
  Nations to exercise pressure on the respective opponents to accept United
  Nations decisions to be the only way towards a peaceful solution.
• Worried by the persistence of the crisis over Cyprus endagering
  international security, and the circumstances that decisions of the United
  Nations regarding Cyprus have not yet been implemented, and by the lack of
  progress in past negotiations, keeping in mind the necessity to solve the
  Cyprus problems peacefully without any further delay, the Congress requests an
  urgent restart of efficient and substantial negotiations under the auspices of
  the United Nations and the European Union in order to achieve a basically
  acceptable agreement as soon as possible based upon the fundamental legal
  rights of all inhabitants.
