Известување до граѓаните на Република Македонија и Македонци ширум светот, како и пријатели на Македонскиот народ

Вчера, во Седиштето на Обединети Нации во Женева, во пресрет на Советот за Човекови Права, а за време на годишната средба на независни екеспрети и специјални репортери за човековите права на Обединети Нации, беше доставена ЖАЛБАТА од Граѓаните на Република Македонија, со над 11,000 потписи, за заштита на името на Република Македонија, како и на нашите културни права, вклучително и јазикот, етничкиот идентитет, националниот идентитет и историјата на Македонскиот народ. Во оваа жалба учествуваа и придонесоа граѓаните на Република Македонија на волонтерска основа, како и голем број невладини организации во Република Македонија и ширум светот. Изразуваме голема благодарност на сите оние оние кои учестуваа во оваа акција за заштита на нашата татковина и нашите основни човекови права, и ги повикуваме сите македонци ширум светот најитно да се активираат во битката, и да го пратат следното ОТВОРЕНО ПИСМО на сите можни странски емаил адреси, на фејсбyк, и на другите социјални мрежи.

WE THE MACEDONIANS,

UNABLE AND UNWILLING TO BEAR ANY LONGER, THE BURDEN OF INJUSTICE AND THE

GROWING AND UNPRECEDENTED PRESSURE INFLICTED UPON US BY THE VERY NATION STATES

AND INTERNATIONAL AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT PRETEND TO BE THE

GATEKEEPERS OF HUMAN RIGHTS,

APPEAL TO THE PEOPLES AND THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD FOR YOUR SYMPATHY AND

SUPPORT.

WE WISH TO FIRST AND FOREMOST INFORM YOU:

THAT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF ONGOING “NEGOTIATIONS” ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL NAME

OF OUR COUNTRY, WHICH BEGAN IN 1993 UNDER THE FRAMEWORK OF THE UNITED NATIONS,

AND WHICH ARE IN BREACH OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER, WE ARE SHOCKINGLY BEING

FORCED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR ETHNIC AND NATIONAL IDENTITY,

OUR LANGUAGE, AND OUR HISTORY, AS A PRE-CONDITION FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE UN, NATO,

AND THE EU

THAT THIS BARBARIC AND, IN ESSENCE, GENOCIDAL CRIME, IS BEING PERPETRATED NOT ONLY

BY GREECE, BUT BY THE UNITED NATIONS, THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND NATO, AND KEY

MEMBER STATES THEREOF, THROUGH CONSTANT POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC PRESSURE,

INCLUDING THREATS OF DESTABILISATION, AND VIA THE MECHANISMS OF CONDITIONALITY

FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THESE ORGANISATIONS

THAT THIS SUICIDAL ACT HAS ALSO BEEN SUPPORTED BY OUR VERY OWN GOVERNMENT,

WHICH IS WILLING TO CHANGE OUR NAME, IDENTITY, LANGUAGE AND HISTORY IN

BLATANT VIOLATION OF OUR CULTURAL RIGHTS AND OUR RIGHT TO SELF-

DETERMINATION, WITH NO CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE IT REPRESENTS NOR ANY

CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS FOR SUCH ACTS,

THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE BEING BLACKMAILED INTO ACCEPTING TO, DE JURE, COMMIT SUICIDE,

THAT THESE DISGRACEFUL AND BURDENSOME PRECONDITIONS - TO CHANGE NOT ONLY THE

NAME OF OUR STATE BUT APPALINGLY, OUR ETHNIC AND NATIONAL IDENTITY,

NATIONALITY AND LANGUAGE - HAVE LED TO COLLECTIVE AND INDIVIDUAL

PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA CAUSING SERIOUS MENTAL HARM, AND INCREASING INTERNAL

TENSIONS THAT MAY LEAD TO INTERNAL CONFLICT,

THAT THESE ILLEGAL PRECONDITIONS AMOUNT TO TORTURE, INHUMAN AND DEGRADING

TREATMENT,

AND THAT THESE IMMORAL PRECONDITIONS ARE IN BLATANT VIOLATION OF THE

FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF ALL PEOPLES TO SELF-DETERMINATION.

WE WISH TO EMPHASIZE THE IRONY OF THE SITUATION:

THAT THE MACEDONIANS, A PEOPLE DOCUMENTED IN THE BIBLE, ARE PARADOXICALLY

EXPECTED TO ERASE THEMSELVES FROM THE HISTORY BOOKS AND MAPS OF THE WORLD

TODAY - IN AN ERA OF THE SUPREMACY OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY, AND BY THE

VERY NATION STATES THAT SUPPOSEDLY BROUGHT FORTH THESE VALUES TO OUR WORLD

– IN ORDER TO JOIN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND NATO

WE WISH TO HIGHLIGHT, THAT WHILE HISTORY HAS KNOWN POGROMS AND OBSCENE

VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, IT HAS NEVER WITNESSED

THIS SCALE AND CATEGORY OF SUCH AN INTERNATIONALLY ORCHESTRATED CRIME, BY

WHICH MORE THAN 15 MILLION PEOPLE, IN THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA AND ABROAD,

ARE BEING ORDERED TO SELF-DESTRUCT

WE ALERT YOU, THEREFORE, THAT IN A PRECEDENT OF WORLD HISTORY, OUR NATION IS

BECOMING EXTINCT WITH THE STROKE OF THE WESTERN PEN. WE, THE MACEDONIANS,

ARE BEING ASKED BY THE VERY SAME EUROPE WHICH WE ENLIGHTENED, TO CEASE AND

DESIST.

AND THAT THIS DENIAL OF ETHNIC IDENTITY AMOUNTS TO AN UNPRECEDENTED AND

HISTORIC GENOCIDE

LET IT BE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR THAT WE SHALL NO LONGER REMAIN SILENT. AND LET

ALL THE PEOPLES AND NATIONS IN THIS WORLD HELP US OVERTURN THIS INJUSTICE.

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, WE SHALL HOLD ACCOUNTABLE ALL

THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DENIAL OF OUR NAME, OUR ETHNIC AND

NATIONAL IDENTITY, AND OUR LANGUAGE.

...

WITH THIS OPEN LETTER WE WISH TO ANNOUNCE THE FOLLOWING:

CONSCIOUS THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED ACTS ARE BEING MASTERMINDED BY THE

GOVERNMENT OF GREECE IN ORDER TO CLOSE A HUNDRED YEAR CHAPTER OF CRIMES AGAINST

HUMANITY, WAR CRIMES AND THE ATTEMPT OF GENOCIDE ON THE MACEDONIAN MINORITY IN

GREECE

CONSCIOUS ALSO, OF THE CONTINUATION OF THE DENIAL OF ETHNIC IDENTITY OF THE

MACEDONIAN MINORITY IN GREECE TO THIS VERY DAY

WEARY THAT THE GREEK NEGOTIATING POSITIONS VIS-À-VIS THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA IN

THE “NAME ISSUE” ARE MERELY A CONTINUATION AND AN INTERNATIONALISATION OF THE

AFOREMENTIONED GREEK DOMESTIC POLICIES OF ASSIMILATION AND DENIAL VIS-À-VIS THE

MACEDONIAN MINORITY IN GREECE

AND MINDFUL THAT THESE SAME GREEK NEGOTIATING POSITIONS ARE BEING UNDERTAKEN BY

CERTAIN MEMBER STATES OF THE UNITED NATIONS, THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND NATO,

DESPITE THE VERDICT OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE JUDGMENT OF 5 DECEMBER

2011, IN FAVOUR OF THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA, CONCERNING GREECE'S ACTIONS TO BLOCK

THE ENTRY OF THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA INTO ALL REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL

ORGANISATIONS

WE CALL UPON THE HEADS OF STATE AND GOVERNMENT AND LEADERS OF THE

AFOREMENTIONED MEMBER STATES AND INTERNATIONAL AND REGIONAL

ORGANISATIONS AND ALLIANCES, TO TAKE CONSCIENCE OF THESE HISTORICAL FACTS,

AND TO ADHERE TO INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND

FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS , AS WELL AS TO THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER, AND THE

PRINCIPLES OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF NATION STATES, AND

WE CAUTION THEM TO BE WEARY AND MINDFUL OF THEIR OWN IMPLICATIONS - PAST AND

PRESENT - INTO THE VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, INCLUDING INTERNATIONAL

HUMANITARIAN LAW, AS WELL AS HUMAN RIGHTS

AND WE WARN THEM TO TAKE NOTE THAT GREECE IS DISHONEST WHEN IT STATES IT WISHES A

SOLUTION. RATHER GREECE ACTIVELY AND CONTINUOUSLY WORKS AND LOBBIES FOR

“SOLUTIONS” THAT WILL ERADICATE THE MACEDONIAN ETHNIC IDENTITY, OR THAT WILL

TRIGGER A CONFLICT WITHIN REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA, SO THAT IT CEASES TO EXIST.

WE FURTHERMORE REMIND THEM OF THE FACT THAT EVERY STATE HAS A NATURALLY

INHERENT RIGHT TO A NAME AND THAT THE DETERMINATION OF A STATE’S NAME REPRESENTS

THE SUBJECT MATTER SOLELY OF ITS OWN SOVEREIGN DOMESTIC JURISDICTION,

THAT A STATE’S NAME, AS THE LEGAL IDENTITY OF INTERNATIONAL SUBJECTS, IS AN

ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF ITS JURIDICAL PERSONALITY, AND ITS STATEHOOD,

AND THAT GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTIONS 113/II OF 1947 AND 197/III OF 1948, AND IN

PARTICULAR, THE ADVISORY OPINION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE DELIVERED

ON 28 OF MAY, 1948, RELATING TO THE INADMISSIBILITY OF PRECONDITIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP

OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THE EXHAUSTIVE CONDITIONS OF ARTICLE 4(1) OF UNITED NATIONS

CHARTER, FORBID ANY MEMBER STATE, BODY OR ORGAN OF THE UNITED NATIONS TO IMPOSE

ADDITIONAL PRECONDITIONS TO ASPIRING MEMBER STATES OF THE UNITED NATIONS

AS SUCH, THE CONDITION IMPOSED UPON MACEDONIA, TO DISCUSS ITS NAME, AS WELL THE

ETHNIC AND NATIONAL IDENTITY OF ITS CITIZENS, AND THEIR LANGUAGE, IS IN VIOLATION NOT

ONLY OF INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS, BUT OF THE UNITED

NATIONS CHARTER

...

GENOCIDE

BUILDING GOOD NEIGHBOURLY RELATIONS WITH THE REPUBLIC OF

MACEDONIA

C. TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTENCE OF THE MACEDONIAN

MINORITY IN GREECE, AND TO ELIMINATE STATE-SPONSORED ETHNIC

DISCRIMINATION AND XENOPHOBIA AGAINST THE MACEDONIAN PEOPLE IN
