Appeal for an Interim UN Administration in Chechenya


The Transnational Radical Party launches an appeal to the Secretary General and to the Heads of State and of Government of the member countries of the United Nations asking them to take all the necessary steps to ensure that « the Akhmadov plan for peace and democracy in Chechnya is first studied and then implemented. »

The Plan of the Chechen Foreign Minister Ilyas Akhmadov proposes «conditional independence» for Chechnya through « the establishment of an interim United Nations administration on the basis of the disarmament of all the Chechen forces and the withdrawal of all the Russian military and administrative personnel. At the end of this period of transition, during which the UN would be charged with administering the country and co-ordinating the re-establishment of the civil, political and material order of a country strewn with ruins and common graves, the surviving population would be called to elect its own parliament and government. »

The citizens of Chechnya, Russia and the whole world who « share the sense of horror felt by many Russians and the sense of terror that haunts the Chechens in the face of the devastation of this small piece of Europe and of the world, which is still called Chechnya » can sign the appeal on the website of the Transnational Radical Party
