Published in News Digest

By empty (10/1/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Members-states of GUAM (Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova) have again appealed to the UN General Assembly to include on the agenda of the 61st session an item on frozen conflicts in GUAM and their effects for international peace, security and development. \"The continuing conflicts in GUAM, namely in Moldova, Georgia and Azerbaijan, have been affecting the lives of over 16 million people for over 15 years and endangering international peace and security, threatening the sovereignty and territorial integrity of three UN member-nations,\" they say in a letter published in New York as a General Assembly document, the UN news service reported on Friday. The letter says that the situation is leading to the loss of control over significant parts of territories in the sovereign states ceasing the exodus of millions of refugees and forced migrants and obstructing the economic and social development of the nations.
