Labour, MMM, ND, Linion Moris, PMSD and Lalit all sign up to Common Statement for Mauritius to support SA case against Israel

15.06.2024

Here is a copy of the Common Statement of Opposition Parties and Alliances that LALIT is publishing again because the PMSD has now added its name to the Statement. The MLF informs us that the PMSD was late in signing due to a communications issue.

Common Statement by Opposition Parties/Alliances

Noting that the State of Mauritius in 2019, by signing the Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948, has, like all signatories, already agreed that genocide is “a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish” (Article 1),

We believe it important for the Mauritian State to support the Republic of South Africa’s case before the UN’s top Court, the International Court of Justice, in which South Africa is holding Israel responsible for violations, in Palestine in particular in Gaza, of the Convention.

Adhered to by:

The Labour Party, Navin Ramgoolam.

The Mouvement Militant Mauricien, Paul Bérenger

The Nouveaux Democrates, Richard Duval

Linion Moris, Rama Valayden.

Lalit, Rada Kistnasamy.

Parti Mauricien social Democrat, Xavier Duval*

Co-ordinated by the Muvman Liberasyon Fam in early June, 2024.

* PMSD adhered slightly later, on 15 June, 2024 (late due to a communications issue).
